Most managers are promoted, then left to figure it out.
New managers are handed a team, but rarely the training or support to lead one, and it shows in engagement scores, performance and retention.
70% of the variance in team engagement comes down to the manager (Gallup). Bloom makes that count.
82%
of new managers have had no formal management training

Better managers, by design.
Leadership coaching that changes how managers lead, not just what they know.
Lead with confidence
Managers move from guesswork to a clear, coached approach to leading people.
Have the hard conversations
Feedback, accountability, difficult calls: practised with a coach, then applied with the team.
Turn intent
into habit
A monthly rhythm of coach, apply, report back, so new behaviour sticks instead of fading after a workshop.
1:1 conversations
Managing time & priorities
Motivating & retaining the team
Leading through change
How H&M built confident managers in a fast-paced business.
H&M wanted to invest in its future leaders without pulling them away from demanding day jobs.
Bloom’s coaching fitted around the work, built managers’ confidence with their teams, and showed the business the themes emerging across its leaders.

“We’re a fast-paced business. Developing our people is a priority, but finding the time is the challenge. We aim to invest in future leaders while keeping them engaged in their work.”
— Bernard Gunning, L&D Manager, H&M
How we coach your managers
Behaviour doesn’t shift from one workshop. It shifts when expert coaching and everyday support reinforce each other, which is exactly what these two formats do together.
