Stories from Our Community

"Especially in the tech industry, we need to have a program for first-time managers to learn to become an excellent team leader or project leader so that their junior can even benefit out of it."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I'm used to learning code and getting better at coding, but this was a different skill to learn and improve on. I really enjoyed alot of the homework because we get to do them during our 1-1s and they really helped. I actually refer back to the frameworks in my day-to-day now."

"While we all came in with different goals and challenges, it was obvious that every person in a managerial role experiences similar challenges every day. There’s a feeling of community because everyone is going through it and figuring their way out together."

"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."

"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"

"It's important to create a culture of feedback in your team to improve efficiency. Always assess the motivation of your direct reports as it helps in having effective 1:1s"

"It starts with the idea of wanting to see people grow, and NewCampus helped to open that conversation with my team."

"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."
