MANAGEMENT TRAINING
Management Essentials Training Program
Cohort-based training that gives managers the practical skills, tools, and mindset to lead effectively and drive scalable impact.
A Transformational Management Development Journey
Managers' roles are more critical than ever. Yet so few companies have the right resources and partners to successfully and affordably invest in their training and development.
This is why Oxygen exists.
We’re pioneering a new approach to management training that’s more effective than traditional training programs. Developed in collaboration with a former Stanford professor and leading management trainers from globally renowned companies, Oxygen’s Management Essentials program was created to equip managers with best in class skills and mindsets proven to drive team performance.

Training That Matches the Reality of Management
We meet managers where they are with practical tools, real-time support, and training that sticks.
Oxygen is different. Most programs prioritize speed and scale — not actual change. They rely on outdated content and one-size-fits-all delivery.

Surprisingly, there are very few options for mangers to learn and build the skills needed to perform their best. Our program is unique:
Curriculum-based learning, not just a collection of disconnected workshops. Learning and retention is significantly better.
Live (virtual) learning, not pre-recorded, one-size-fits-all videos. Having a teacher with live instruction offers a more effective learning experience.
Labs & live practice. Students get many opportunities to practice their skills in front of experts for real-time feedback. Labs also include mock-scenarios they will encounter as a manager.
Coaching support & private Slack community. Outside of coursework, managers also have access to real-time support to process real challenges and apply what they're learning.
Impact assessments show you how your managers skills are improving in a tangible way.
Managers have the opportunity to build a network and community with managers attending the program to continue to learn and grow.
Post-course continuing education options available. While many programs conduct a workshop and then leave, Oxygen is committed to being the most effective and sought-after manager training program, and this includes ongoing education to ensure learning sticks and growth continues.
