The Manuals
Practical guides for navigating the complexities of career progression and leadership
Why Download a Manual?
What they are
A growing library of practical guides for managers and leaders — each one focused on a single skill or situation most people never get formal training on. Written by Emily Ford, drawing on 26 years in B2B tech sales (including four as a Senior Manager at Google) and her work as a qualified Co-Active Coach.
Who they’re for
New and experienced managers, team leads, and anyone responsible for leading people or working towards a role in leadership - especially if you have found yourself in situations you don’t know how to navigate or you know you want to improve in
What you’ll get
Each manual gives you a clear framework, real examples drawn from actual leadership situations, and space to apply it to your own. No theory for theory's sake — just practical tools you can use the next time it matters. New manuals are added monthly, each tackling a different leadership challenge.
