FREE WEBINAR FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
ACCIDENTAL MANAGER TO CONFIDENT LEADER
You started your business to do great work, not to become an HR manager overnight.
Yet here you are: hiring people, juggling performance issues, trying to keep up with employment rules, and wondering if you’re “doing it right”.
This practical webinar is designed for business owners and managers who became leaders by accident and want simple, proven ways to get the best from their team while protecting their business.
Who is this webinar for?
This session is ideal for you if you:
Run a small or family business and now manage staff, often without any formal leadership training.
Feel stuck in the “doing” and want to step more into leading, but aren’t sure where to start
Worry about HR and compliance but don't have time (or appetite) for jargon and leagalese
Want practical tools you can use immediately, not theory that sits in a drawer
What You'll Learn
In this 90 minute webinar, you’ll learn how to:
Shift from “accidental manager” to intentional leader using a simple, small‑business‑friendly framework.
Use three low‑cost habits to lift performance and engagement without throwing more money at the problem.
Have clearer, calmer conversations about expectations, feedback and performance.
Understand the minimum HR and compliance basics you really need in place to reduce people‑related risk.
Facilitator - Donna Benjamin
Led by an expert practitioner who has walked the path from expert to executive
This webinar is hosted by an experienced people and strategy advisor and business owner who has spent her career working in organisations full of technical experts — engineers, IT and digital professionals, clinicians, finance and risk specialists, and the leaders who rely on them. She has seen, time and again, talented specialists take steps into leadership roles without the tools or support to shift from “safe pair of hands” to confident people leader.
Across large corporates, high‑growth scale‑ups and small businesses, she has led people, culture and organisational development functions and coached both emerging and senior leaders through the move from individual contributor to people manager. Her work focuses on building self‑awareness, clarifying what the leadership role actually is, and making the practical mindset shift from doing the work yourself to leading others, aligning teams to business priorities, and delivering sustainable results through people.
