Why Swivel

Leadership is Influence... and anyone can be influential. That’s why we believe in A Leader in Every Chair™. The fastest way to get A Leader in Every Chair®? Through the managers responsible for them!

Managing and leading humans is the toughest role in any organization today. Managers exist to keep productivity moving and engagement high for your organization. That’s the job. Full Stop.

Today’s managers need to move or “SWIVEL”, between managing the work (productivity) and keeping employees engaged in the work. Organizations have struggled to find a comprehensive solution that teaches, coaches, and develops Managers to do both well... until now.

Swivel is for
Experienced People Managers

I avoid giving tough feedback because it always goes badly.

I’ve been doing this for years, but it still feels like I’m winging it.

I spend most of my time putting out fires instead of building the team.

New People Managers

I’m now leading people who used to be my peers. I’m nervous about that.

How do I give feedback without hurting someone’s feelings?

I don’t want to micromanage, but if I don’t check in, will things fall apart?

Swivel works

More than a seminar or workshop; Swivel is a year-long support system designed for success!

Learn in Community

Collaborative learning fosters critical thinking, confidence, and social skills through shared ideas and diverse perspectives.

Active Engagement

Thoughtful discussions to encourage greater curiosity, promote deeper understanding and retention of materials.

Multiple Learning Mediums

Includes reading, audio, visual, dialogues, tests, assessments, virtual, in-person and so much more.

Real Life Applications

Connect new information to personal experiences or existing knowledge.

Practice Spaced Repetition

Study sessions distributed over time improve long-term retention more than the traditional 2-day learning “event”.
