Thichatas — Est. 2023
Leading teams remotely
Managing people across different time zones, tools, and working rhythms is genuinely difficult. These seminars address the real friction — not the textbook version of it.
After the seminars — what changes in day-to-day work
Participants who complete the full sequence report being able to structure asynchronous feedback in a way their teams actually respond to — not just acknowledge.
Shared documents, async video, and structured check-ins are practised under real conditions — not demonstrated in a vacuum. Participants leave with a working format they can adapt.
Moving from presence-based trust to output-based trust is the hardest adjustment for most managers. The programme works on this directly, with peer discussion and case review.
When the material stops making sense
Some weeks the concepts click immediately. Others, they sit awkwardly against your actual situation — a team that doesn't respond the way the frameworks assume, or a manager above you who works differently.
Facilitators hold open sessions twice per week where participants can bring specific situations. These aren't Q&A panels — they're working conversations, and the pace follows what the group actually needs.
- Peer groups of 4–6 people with similar team sizes
- Written summaries sent after each live session
- Direct facilitator access between sessions via the platform
- Optional one-to-one review at the programme midpoint
Support is built into the structure, not offered as an add-on. It doesn't replace the work — it makes the work more possible.
Who this is designed for
The seminars work best when participants share a similar level of experience. Being specific about that isn't exclusion — it keeps the conversations useful for everyone in the room.
A good fit if you
- Currently manage a distributed team of at least 3 people
- Have tried async workflows and found them inconsistent
- Can commit roughly 4 hours per week across 6 weeks
- Want to understand why certain approaches work — not just copy them
- Are willing to share real situations with a peer group
Less suited if you
- Are looking for a certification rather than a change in practice
- Manage a co-located team with no near-term plans to go remote
- Need a solution in under two weeks
- Prefer self-paced video content without group discussion
- Are at a very early stage — no team yet, no management experience
How the learning actually works
Reading about remote management and practising it under observation are different experiences. The seminar format was built around that gap — most of the time is spent on application, not on explanation.
Each week introduces one specific challenge — accountability without surveillance, communication lag, onboarding without a physical space — and participants work through it using their own team as the case study.
Each session opens with a real situation from the group — not a prepared case study. The framework comes after, to explain what happened and why.
Participants share their planned approach with the group before implementing it. Feedback is structured — not open critique, but specific questions that reveal blind spots.
Two weeks after each topic, participants return with what actually happened. The gap between intention and outcome is where most of the learning sits.
What you can access
Three entry points depending on where you are and what you need. None of them requires a commitment before you've had a chance to assess whether the approach fits.
Six-week seminar series
The full structured sequence covering accountability, communication design, onboarding, and conflict at a distance. Runs in cohorts of 12–16 participants with two facilitators.
Programme detailsTopic quizzes and self-checks
Short structured assessments tied to each seminar topic. Useful for identifying where your current thinking has gaps — before or after the full programme.
