Technical Writing

He can help your documents capture your audience’s attention, while keeping the content scientifically and technically accurate.

Training and Mentoring

Do you have a team or individual needing support and guidance to take their performance to the next level? Astromanager LLC has developed a series of short courses designed to control workflow and increase workplace efficiency. These classes focus on email and task management, task prioritization, effective meetings, and successful delegation. The classes explore additional real-life work hurdles like why don’t we always do the right thing even when we know what it is and when is the relentless focus on efficiency actually harming work productivity?

Additionally, we have a variety of content on management, leadership, and teamwork skills and can offer versions of these courses tailored to your staff and needs to help your team work to their highest potential.

Astromanager LLC provides experience-based mentoring to individuals and teams at different levels within your organization. We begin by helping staff understand themselves and each other so they can better understand their reactions to common workplace situations and become better able to purposefully choose their responses. We present leadership as a personal commitment and something that can occur within all levels of an organization or team. We help individuals overcome their personal hurdles and work with teams to better establish norms, healthy working relationships, and an environment that helps people reach their potential.
