This is a live, constantly updating home for all the resources and key learnings from our Managers Meet Up conversations.

Please feel free to suggest further additions so that we can all benefit from them, continue sharing experiences, learning and supporting our teams in the best possible way. If you have any suggestions to add to this list please email us at managersmeetups@outlook.com — we will of course credit you.

We know this is a resource that you might dip in and out of, and we know that we will all hit different challenges at different points over the next year or so— but we hope by creating this list, it will be something we can all benefit from and refer to when we need to.
