Ownership in Action Series | New Manager Workshop | Denver

New Manager Workshop: June 16–17, 2026
Empowering New ESOP Managers to Lead with Confidence

Join us June 16–17, 2026, at the Sheraton Denver Downtown for a transformative 1.5-day workshop designed to equip new ESOP managers with the essential knowledge and leadership skills needed to excel in employee-owned companies.

What to Expect:
This hands-on program goes beyond traditional training. Through interactive small group discussions, role-playing exercises, and real-world scenarios, you'll explore critical topics including ESOP fundamentals, the manager's pivotal role in ownership culture, and proven strategies for communicating benefits to your teams.

Who Should Attend:
This program is ideal for managers who must connect daily operational leadership with ESOP value creation, support employee engagement, and model ownership behaviors.

• Newly promoted managers or supervisors in ESOP companies
• First-time people managers responsible for translating ownership concepts to frontline teams
• Managers with 1–5 years of leadership experience who need a stronger foundation in ESOP structure, culture, and financial basics
• High-potential employees preparing for future managerial roles

While welcome to attend, the content will not be aimed towards:

• CEOs
• Executive leadership
• Board members
• Senior leaders

Space is limited. Register today to transform your approach to ESOP management and join a community of leaders committed to ownership excellence!

This event is eligible for 7.75 hours of SHRM and 3.75 hours of CPE credit.
