Afternoon Skill Building Session: Managing Up

How can you help your leader help you? Great managers want to support their teams, but sometimes barriers get in the way—they may lack insight into your challenges, struggle to connect, or need stronger leadership skills themselves.

That’s where Managing Up becomes a game changer. It’s about stepping into a proactive role—helping your manager succeed by sharing key information, prioritizing effectively, and building trust. When you manage up well, you don’t just improve your leader’s effectiveness—you boost your entire team and open doors for your own growth.  

At Propel, our interactive afternoon session, Managing Up, will empower you to:

• Identify and overcome challenges that limit manager support
• Learn actionable strategies for managing up
• Discover how effective management drives team success and career progress

Managing Up builds on the self-awareness from our morning session, Understanding Your Leadership Strengths—and it's part of a series of five powerful Skill Building sessions you can experience at Propel. 

Join us Monday, October 6, 2025, at Convene in downtown Chicago for this immersive day of insight, action, and growth in the rail industry. Two more impactful sessions are on the way—more information will be shared soon!
