Stories from Our Community

"NewCampus has taught me a lot, especially in the beginning of my leadership journey. It grows me as a person."

"From writing code 100% to writing code now 20-25%. Almost all of my time now goes into management and having discussion with my teammates, and resolving their issues, with the help of NewCampus."

"There's a lot of responsibility that comes with being the only individual running a market at the current time. But being able to pause my mind for 1-2 hours and having the right support system has been quite rewarding."

"After attending the NewCampus Management Essentials Sprint, I approach leadership more mindfully using the frameworks we learned."

"I was blessed to have a work environment that was full of people that are hungry about technology and the coaches from NewCampus' Management Essentials Sprint. They help me understand the importance of technology improvement and how it might help supporting the business."

"You need more time to nurture your team and also provide a space for them to find their own way. Becoming a leader is a lifetime learning journey."

"One on one sessions shouldn't only be focused on work-related issues. It should also go around with getting to know your direct report deeply."

"Give your trust to your team members. Being a leader doesn’t mean you have to control everything, but the mindset that we need to have is that we can grow and learn together."

"If you build something top-down but the team actually wants bottom-up, then you're hurting rather than helping. Compare what the team says with what you're thinking, see how big that gap is, and what we need to do to fill it."

"When it comes to navigating your career path, don't take failure as a step back, but rather as an opportunity to course correct to learn something about how you could have done your job better, or even to learn something new about yourself and how you can grow as a person."

"When you work as a product designer, everything has to be scientific and based on data. But being a leader, it’s all about communication rather than giving technical feedback. You have to listen to your team members more."

"What differentiates NewCampus from most leadership workshops is it's interactive. Other workshops have the coach or trainer presenting the material without us reflecting what we did in the past or what we want to do in the future. My cohort mates and I learned alot after the reflective discussions"
