Training That Protects EBITDA, Brand, and People
Practical leadership training for food and beverage organizations operating in high-risk, high-accountability environments.
Manning Leadership Training Academy prepares leaders to reduce operational risk, and strengthen performance where it actually happens — on the plant floor. Our courses focus on early risk recognition, disciplined execution, and decision-making before small issues become expensive failures.
RECALL PREVENTION Matters
Protect your business. Protect your brand. Protect the public.
Every hour counts when it comes to food safety. Our training gives you the real-world tools to prevent costly recalls, stay compliant, and lead confidently in critical moments.
Risk Recognition
Learn to spot the warning signs before a small issue becomes a public crisis. Understand root causes, hazard analysis, and where risks hide in your operation.
Operational Readiness
From documentation to mock recalls, get practical systems in place that keep your team prepared and inspection-ready—every day, not just in theory.
Crisis Communication
Know what to say, when to say it, and who to call. We cover regulatory response, media messaging, and internal leadership during a recall event.

Turning Floor-Level Chaos into Bottom-Line Growth
I didn’t build my career in a boardroom; I built it in food and beverage manufacturing plants, working 60+ hour weeks and traveling to wherever the problems were.
As the founder of Manning Leadership, I bring a unique perspective to the industry: my 30-year career is split evenly between Operations Leadership and Quality Assurance. I teach professionals how to use food safety and quality protocols not as roadblocks, but as strategic tools to drive operational discipline and maximum throughput.
I hold four master’s degrees and am the author of In the Midst of a Recall, but my teaching style is practical and “no-fluff.” I built this academy to bridge the gap between executive strategy and the plant floor—sharing lessons learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.
