The Leadership Canteen :

Long-Term Support for Your First-Time Leaders

Becoming a manager for the first time is a complex turning point — and one that is often underestimated.

With The Leadership Canteen, we offer ongoing support that combines individual coaching and collective intelligence to secure this strategic transition and develop sustainable management practices.

Comprehensive Support to Ensure a Successful Leadership Transition

Stepping into a management role is rarely intuitive. The early days require a new posture, clarity on responsibilities, and the ability to navigate complex human situations.

We support first-time leaders with a progressive, long-term approach: personalised one-to-one coaching, group co-development, and community-based exchange. Together, these elements turn this critical period into a powerful driver of both personal and collective growth.

What Is The Leadership Canteen?

The Leadership Canteen is our online community dedicated to first-time leaders. It’s built on two complementary pillars:

Personalised one-to-one coaching to take a step back and reflect on leadership posture
A collective peer-learning space to share, grow, and feel supported in the challenges of everyday management

1. One-to-One Coaching
Every member benefits from tailored, one-to-one sessions with a professional coach. This confidential space allows them to reflect on their posture, explore concrete challenges, test new approaches, and embed their learning over time.

2. An Engaged Community for Learning Together
Joining The Leadership Canteen means becoming part of a dynamic community of first-time leaders who share the same questions, doubts, and desire to do things well.

Within this space, members have access to:

Co-development sessions to learn from real-life cases
Workshops to build essential skills (feedback, communication, prioritisation…)
An online exchange channel (Slack) to ask questions and share reflections anytime
Group rituals that structure the experience (welcome sessions, shared reviews, guest talks from inspiring leaders…)

Far from top-down training formats, The Leadership Canteen offers a lively, supportive, and challenging environment designed to help first-time leaders grow at their own pace — without ever leaving them on their own.

Ce qu'en disent les membres

I joined the new managers’ community a year after starting my role as a team leader. The variety of sessions offered — from co-development and ‘do/don’t’ workshops to group needs discussions — has been extremely valuable for my growth in this new role. It’s a trusted space with people from different backgrounds where I’ve been able to share my challenges, receive feedback and recommendations, and most importantly, focus on my future development. Thanks to this community, I’ve learned how to better support my team and handle challenges more effectively.
