Management Cues

✨ Lights. AI. Action. ✨

We're entering a whole new era of management training—and it's anything but ordinary.

BIG NEWS: We’re currently collaborating and brainstorming with StarseedStudios, the visionary creative powerhouse co-founded by Reema Bhagchandani & Alexandra Nicole Stone, to reimagine what management training looks like in an immersive, AI-driven world. Think AR. Think role-play. Think real-time feedback and real time results.

Reema is an award winning creative executive who’s spent nearly two decades bringing bold, culture-shifting stories to life for Netflix, MTV, and Paramount. Her superpower? Fusing impactful storytelling with immersive tech like AR, VR, and AI. Alexandra is a disruptive marketing leader who’s scaled brands across IT, AI, blockchain, and SaaS—turning complex ideas into story-rich, gamified journeys that spark real engagement and lasting change.

Because let’s be real—60% of first-time managers fail. And most never get formal training. (Wharton, BI, Gallup... receipts available.)

We’re building science-backed, story-rich, training that sticks—so managers can lead with clarity, confidence, and actual skill.

Stay tuned for our Level-Up Announcement.

🫶 To our crowdfunding funders—you helped bring this vision to life. Your name, your belief, your legacy? It’s going on our site forever.

The future of training is immersive. And we’re just getting started.

REAL TALK: Most managers don’t need more theory—they need actual tools that work.

You know what no one tells you when you become a manager?

-People problems become YOUR problems.
- Burnout sneaks up—fast.
- Confidence dips when you're constantly second-guessing.
- And no one hands you a manual.

But what if there was one?

Management Cues Membership Programs were built for managers who are tired of winging it—and ready to lead with clarity, confidence, and actual strategy.

Here’s what you get inside:

- Monthly plug-and-play management tools
- Neuroscience-backed training to reduce stress & boost performance
- Real-world solutions to the messiness of managing people
- A community of managers leveling up together

Because leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about skills.

If you’ve ever thought “I wish someone just taught me how to do this right…”
This is for YOU.

Managers are under more pressure than ever—and the stakes are rising. 💼🔥

Here’s the reality 👇

📉 Only 27% of managers feel engaged at work right now
💸 Disengagement costs the global economy $8.8 trillion
📜 Shifting legislation and compliance demands = more complexity, more liability
👥 5 generations under one roof = communication friction, value clashes, and rising tension
🚫 And yet—most managers still aren’t trained to navigate any of it

This is exactly where it starts to fall apart—especially under pressure:

❌ Missed deadlines
❌ Compliance failures
❌ Communication breakdowns
❌ Siloed teams
❌ Mental overload + burnout

Operational clarity isn’t a luxury anymore—it’s a survival tool.

Stay focused. Stay strategic. Stay ready.
Because business is changing. And so must management.

🧠 Critical Thinking Isn’t Just a Skill—It’s a Trained Muscle.

In today’s workplace, managers are faced with more noise, misinformation, and pressure than ever before. From decoding legal updates to navigating workplace rumors, knowing fact from fiction isn’t optional—it’s essential.

That’s why critical thinking needs training.

Not just a PowerPoint. Not just a workshop.

Ongoing, strategic development.

✅ To ask the right questions
✅ To assess information without bias
✅ To make decisions that are sound, ethical, and informed

Because the cost of poor judgment is high—and your team is counting on you to lead with clarity.

🧩 Train the mind. Protect the culture. Lead with confidence.

Real Case, Real Consequences

In 2018, ICE conducted a high-profile raid at a Northern California business.
The employer cooperated—but managers gave ICE agents unrestricted access to employee records and work areas without warrants or proper legal guidance.

The aftermath?
❌ State law violations (AB 450)
❌ Fines for unauthorized record sharing
❌ Employee mistrust and reputational damage
