In-the-moment support that's specific to their situation.

First-time managers are dropped into a role they've never done before. The skills that got them promoted - technical execution, individual delivery, being the person with the answers - are not the skills they need now. Now they need to develop other people, hold them to account, give feedback that lands, and lead through conversations they've never had before.

Most companies put them through a two-day workshop and hope for the best. Six weeks later, they're back to old habits and firefighting problems better leadership would have prevented. Training without ongoing support fades. The research is unambiguous: knowledge transfer is not behaviour change.

What they actually need is two things working together: practical input on the skills they're missing, and a thinking partner they can turn to in real time. Not in three weeks. Not after a 360 review. Now - before the conversation, after the team meeting, when they're stuck.

"Laura is incredibly insightful, and was able to challenge me to find more effective ways of managing my team. Her ability to reflect my language back to me, and ask the right questions at the right time has had a profound effect on my leadership, and how I interact with the team."

"Anne helped me to think about how my management and leadership approach can adapt and add value with varying levels of experience and seniority in my reports. We concluded with a really actionable approach that I'm excited to get into."

Swoop Adventures team member

"Sarah has been very thoughtful and supportive in the first few months of my new role. She has provided invaluable suggestions and has helped me think through important business situations from a different perspective. She has also given me the toolkit and language that I can leverage in business meetings to be more influencing."

Daye team member

"She helped me identify a mindset I had unknowingly adopted towards certain aspects of my new role that was becoming detrimental to my own happiness in my role and my performance. This realisation has helped me become more comfortable in my new role."

Learn a framework on Wednesday. Take it into coaching Friday. Use it Monday.

Most leadership programmes fail because they end.

The cohort graduates, the workbook gets filed, and the urgency of daily work crushes the new habits before they form. There's no infrastructure for ongoing growth.

More Happi doesn't end. A new masterclass every month. Coaching always available. Your managers aren't graduating - they're growing continuously.

Easy to launch and maintain

Frequently asked questions.

How quickly can a new manager book their first coaching session?

Most managers book within 48 hours of being enrolled and have their first session in the same week. There's no waiting list and no cohort start date to wait for.

Can I enrol just our new managers, not the whole company?

Yes. You choose which managers get access. Many of our clients start with their first-time managers and high-potentials in their first 6 months, then expand from there.

Are More Happi coaches actually qualified?

Every More Happi coach has qualified from an ICF, EMCC, or an equivalent accredited Coach School, with hundreds of coaching hours behind them and a 4.9 out of 5 average rating from coachees. We interview and select every coach who joins the platform.

Is this an L&D programme or something different?

It's continuous development infrastructure, not a programme. There's no start date, no end date, no cohort. One new masterclass every month and coaching always available. Managers grow throughout their tenure with you, not just during a six-month window.

How does this compare to other coaching platforms for new managers?

Enterprise platforms typically charge £150 to £300 or more per coaching session, which means rationing access or limiting coaching to senior leaders. More Happi is unlimited at a flat per-seat rate, so every new manager you enrol gets as much coaching as they need.
