Small AND mighty
Manager Essentials cohorts are intentionally small in size (10-15 managers per cohort) and stay the same for the entire 12-weeks, giving managers plenty of opportunities to connect and create a peer support system that lasts long after the 12-weeks are up.

FAQs
Who is Manager Essentials for?
We designed Manager Essentials for those managers who have previously received little or no formal management training. For the most part, we expect that to mean managers who are new to their role, but it also includes those with more time in their positions who never received formal training.
I'm an HR leader. Can I enroll multiple managers at my company into Manager Essentials?
Sure thing! In fact, we recommend it. If you click on the "Buy Now" button above, you'll see the option to enroll multiple managers at the same time. From there, you can add as many managers as you'd like, and we'll work with you to get them all onboarded before their cohort start date.
I’ve been a manager for years. Can I still sign up?
Definitely! The Manager Essentials content was specifically designed for managers with little to no prior training. For more tenured managers, we suggest reviewing the complete course syllabus to gauge for yourself if you will find it relevant and useful (hint: we think you will).
What is the process to enroll?
Clicking on the "Buy Now" button above will direct you to a checkout page where you'll tell us how many managers you'd like to enroll and complete payment for the program. Once you've done that, you'll get an email with instructions on setting up your company profile in our app. After which we'll send onboarding emails to each enrolled manager with instructions for signing in, selecting their desired cohort day/time, and taking advantage of the other unique resources available to them.
Do I pick my cohort or is it chosen for me? Who will be in my cohort?
When a manager is onboarded to the Campfire app, they’ll be prompted to select a cohort. Cohorts are based on the time and day of the week of the included Manager Essentials Campfire sessions (ex. Thursdays at 12 pm MST, Fridays at 1 pm CST, etc). Each cohort will be made up of up to 15 managers from various companies across the country.
When are the Campfire sessions held?
Campfire sessions are held every other week at the same time (Ex. Thursdays at 12pm MST, Fridays at 1pm CST, etc.). As part of your onboarding, you’ll select the day/time that works best for you and your schedule.
What if I can't attend one of the sessions?
If you have a conflicting commitment or accidentally miss a Campfire session, don't stress! You'll be able to sign up to attend whichever session you missed with another cohort at a time that works better for your schedule.
What happens after the 12 weeks are up?
After the 12 weeks, managers will have the option to pay for an ongoing subscription to Campfire that includes access to ongoing Campfire sessions on a wide variety of topics, exclusive, members-only content & tools, and more. Right now, these subscriptions are not available on an individual basis, but are offered to groups of managers within the same organization. If you are an HR leader who is enrolling a group of managers into Manager Essentials, expect us to reach out with ongoing subscription options as the course winds down. If you are an individual manager enrolling in Manager Essentials, and are interested in an ongoing subscription, reach out to our customer success team and we’ll find a way to get in touch with your HR person to discuss options.
