One session. One Playbook.
A measurable shift in how your managers lead.
A 75-minute working session where your managers co-create the communication system their teams have been missing, and HR finally has a scalable intervention tied to the metrics that matter.
Why It Matters
Your engagement data is pointing at manager communication. It almost always is.
Low scores on clarity. Feedback about unclear expectations. Teams that feel busy but disconnected.
The problem isn't that your managers don't care. It's that no one ever gave them a system for how to lead in a world that never stops pinging.
The Workshop gives them one, in a single session that fits inside your existing L&D calendar.
What’s Included
This isn't a seminar. It's a working session that produces a real deliverable.
75-minute live workshop (virtual or in-person)
A custom Communication Playbook your managers co-create with their teams
Shared language and agreements your team can use the next morning
Optional follow-through coaching for accountability and habit reinforcement
Scalable across manager cohorts. No new software. No multi-day offsite required.
The Framework
The Stoddy Mac Playbook Framework
Built around four pillars that give managers a clear system for leading through digital noise:
1. Clarity – Define what great work looks like and how decisions get made.
2. Agreements & Availability – Align on meetings, messages, and what urgent actually means.
3. Rhythm & Recovery – Protect focus time and sustainable energy across the week.
4. Tools & Workflow Design – Make your tech stack work for the team, not against it.
Each pillar is co-created live with the team, so the Playbook reflects how they actually work, not a generic template.
