At Yelp promote from within and put people in stretch roles that accelerate their development. BetterManager's MAP program effectively supported our high potential leaders who are either in the biggest roles of their career and/or are going through a crucial transition.
We believe that our managers are the most important people to their direct reports. Using our annual manager feedback survey, BetterManager helped us design and implement, at scale, a manager development program that focused on the fundamentals of management.

Love the process of working with BetterManager's team to quickly iterate on programming until we had things just right.
The quality of their coaches is their bread and butter. I've found that BetterManager has a rigorous vetting process, high bar and training program that ensures a consistent experience for any leader we put in the program.
They have a leadership team that is heavily involved and invested. It's inspiring.
The coaching programming meets our leaders and managers where they are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, Covid-19 is the HR Golden Age: we are working hard to keep the Chegg IL culture and special vibe flames on. We are listening, supporting, encouraging, developing, surprising and re-inventing. The sessions with the amazing Rachel Peterson were a great break to focus on ME: on my development, my challenges, my long days. Rachel had quickly become a highly professional, as well as joyful, mentor; I confided in her, shared thoughts and conflicts and knew I would always receive another interesting perspective that would stretch me to my high limits. The sessions with Rachel were a safe zone for me for thoughts, doubts and conflicts. I really needed that safe professional zone that helped me during the stressful pandemic time. Finally, the most important thing with Rachel- I felt she really cared about me and about my well being and success. Thank you for the 360 opportunity! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Rachel, my coach, with her warm personality and tremendous experience in HR and Management. The sessions were always focused on my initial goals and ongoing development. I also liked the surveys in the beginning and in the end of the process, that were a great reflection from my managers and colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wanted to develop my leadership and communication skills Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's great to have a coach to help me through my journey. David provides actionable and timely feedback that helps me tackle situations in real-time. The monthly/bi-weekly coaching sessions enable me time to raise any issues that I'm currently experiencing and then space to go and execute the recommendations. In the next session I report back on how a situation went and discuss further opportunities for growth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I worked with BetterManager to fine-tune my leadership skills based on the results of a comprehensive 360 feedback survey. Following the survey, my coach worked with me to identify my strengths and areas of improvement. Together we developed a set of goals to work toward over the next 12-18 months and identified opportunities to meet those goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Undoubtedly, the best part of the program was my relationship with my coach. She was able to listen, understand and dive deep to get a full understanding of different situations. Her strong insights and experiences framed problems as opportunities and let me navigate complex situations effectively. She was able to blend relevant resources into the learning program along the way - books, readings, podcasts - all of which made the 6-week program a rich and fulfilling experience. All in all, she approached coaching me with trust, openness and care which made me full supported and helped me realize my true potential. The stories, principles and frameworks she shared will help me throughout my career, not just for my own success, but also as I coach others to theirs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BetterManager helped me with a better outlook in general. The program is designed to help you with a mental shift on how you approach certain situations. We can sometimes find ourselves in the constant grind of things and this program helped me realize how to adjust and expand my mental capacity when it comes to handling difficult situations and/or constructive feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I liked the intimate coaching sessions that spanned across 3 months. I liked how the program was adaptive and it felt almost like a "choose your own adventure" structure. It focused on workplace scenarios, but more importantly—it helped in my overall life in terms of mindset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My struggle mainly revolved in effective communication with my team..and honesty with myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoyed being listened to and understood. She was always on time and very present in our conversations. I never felt judged which allowed me to be open and honest and therefore get the most out of my time with Wendy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BetterManager worked with me for a few months with professional coaching. Although I've been a manager for over 20 years, this was the first opportunity for coaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My coach, Jim Coyle, was outstanding. Never pushy, always listening, and providing guided feedback, always keeping me progressing towards reflection and improvement. The time flew by and I found myself thinking and implementing our ideas after the sessions almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BetterManager has been a key part of how Whistle enables its managers to grow into better managers. BetterManager helps our team to see things from other perspectives, to communicate more effectively and to feel supported and heard as managers as we navigate the challenges of managing and supporting our teams laterally, above and below us. They are a non-partisan partner that helps EVERY manager in Whistle to be the best manager they can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BetterManager provides a large treasure chest of classes & coaching options to provide the "right support at the right time." I also like that BetterManager doesn't candy-coat feedback and helps the managers get the feedback they need and to work on it. Most importantly, BetterManager treats the person, understanding the business issues that the associate is dealing with in context of the associate's, aspiration, skills sets and whatever else is going on in that person's world.

Maddisen was assigned me as a coach, can't imagine a better match in terms of background, where i'd like to be professionally vs her career path. I felt connected personally and professionally which helped me to invest even more in the coaching process
This process helped me to (re)identify my values, leadership skills and my style as well as how i can take these a step further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was looking for strategies to better manage my team of direct reports and how best to manage up to senior leaders, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My coach - Wendy Hanson - is great, very encouraging and I love the use of the open ended questions to get to the right answer or approach! She
never told me what to think or how to solve a problem, but skillfully guided me to my own conclusions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a first-time manager, my coach helped me understand the mindset of a leader vs. an individual. I learned many of the basic skills, like giving feedback, coaching/mentoring, communication with different personality styles, etc. Now that I have a few years of experience, my coach is providing wisdom and resources around more complex issues like engagement/motivation, managing up, developing my leadership presence, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Absolutely everything. I feel personally cared for and supported by my coach. She goes out of her way to reflect my strengths, and also lets me know what I can do to grow and improve in a way that is clear but compassionate. Her level of experience inspires deep trust between us and allows me to feel safe and open. I also appreciate how easy it is to integrate our sessions into my busy schedule.

As a brand new manager, BetterManager helped me develop and hone in on leadership and coaching skills that I will carry with me for life. The sessions broadened my perspective on the impact I could make as a manager and helped create a foundation for which I plan on continuing to develop. I highly recommend BetterManager, whether you are a new or seasoned leader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our company implemented an initiative for each leadership team member to receive one-on-one coaching through BetterManager in order to help each of us improve our leadership and management skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BetterManager's coaching program was a hugely valuable experience, especially as someone who, coming into the program, had very little management training or experience. My coach was very attentive and helped me work through the areas I was struggling with. The reading resources provided are also incredibly helpful - short, concise, and with easy ways to put the techniques into practice! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Better manager taught me to manage my time more effectively by prioritizing what I need to do. I also went through the exercise of listing my tasks and positioning them in an importance vs urgency matrix. Though simple, doing this exercise well brings lots of insights.

We first started working with BetterManager to help our internally promoted VPs scale up and succeed in their new role. Our company isn't large enough to need a formal development program for VPs, so coaching with BetterManager gave us a way to offer targeting help with whatever the VP needed.
Since the initial launch, we have make BetterManager coaches available to many Directors and VPs, both to support transitions and to help them prepare for their next role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The quality of coaches is on par with traditional coaching firms. It's easy to get started, and easy to get support when needed. And they just added a new dashboard feature so I can collect actionable insights about what the executive's common goals and development needs are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Enjoyed the qualitative approach BetterManager considered. A lot of actual business cases and scenarios were seriously taken into account versus the number crunching and often meaningless numeric only evaluations. Furthermore, you were able to review your score before and after a serious of interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Quality vs. Quantity of number crunching. Always thoughtful follow-up questions to address teammates reviews in depth and detail. Good to see this perspective in more detail including comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The BetterManager program helped me immensely. My coach made me feel comfortable since the beginning, and the way the coaching was approached has been incredible and very consultative. It has been nice to bounce ideas off of and get feedback from someone not at my company, and I feel like I've known my coach for years. I cannot express enough how valuable this experience has been.

As I transitioned into a new role at a larger, more resources, and more complex organization, Karen helped me think through my first 90 days. She helped me develop a strategic approach to developing key relationships, clarifying my vision, and communicating my leadership style and beliefs to key constituents. My work with her was invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
