TESTIMONIALS
CHRO, SERIES D STARTUP
“The best part about TNMP is that it doesn't pretend managing people is easy. It acknowledges the messy, uncomfortable parts and gives you tools to handle them. Our managers stopped coming to HR every time there was a team conflict because they actually know how to navigate it now.”
HEAD OF HR, INSURANCE COMPANY
“I was skeptical about another management program, but TNMP is different. The 1:1 meeting guide alone has transformed how our managers connect with their teams. We used to get complaints about managers who never checked in. Now our engagement scores in those areas have flipped.”
“WE BUILT THE PROGRAM WE WANTED WHEN WE FIRST BECAME MANAGERS.”
