Supervising Varied Voices

Leading a team with varied backgrounds offers an opportunity to avoid ‘groupthink’ and foster innovation, but we must also be honest about the friction it can cause. In this session, we’ll discuss how to address the challenges posed by varied backgrounds and cultural norms so that we can fully leverage the unique perspectives each of your direct reports brings to the table.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Connecting with Your Employees: Practicing Coaching and Engagement 

Too often, we equate supervision with ‘fixing problems,’ but in this session, we’re shifting our focus to ‘developing people.’ We’re going to practice specific coaching techniques that move us from simply directing work, to asking the right questions—the kind that build engagement, trust, and drive long-term productivity.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Getting Comfortable with Uncomfortable Supervisory Conversations

Having difficult conversations is unavoidable—it’s also vital to being an effective supervisor. This session is designed to give you practical tools and boost your confidence, ensuring that you can approach these moments with clarity and composure, and leading to better outcomes for both your direct reports and the entire organization.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.

Put Your Mask on Before Assisting Others: Taking Care of Yourself 

We’ve all heard the standard airline advice to secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others, and this rule applies to supervision, as well. If you’re running on empty, you can’t fully lead your direct reports. In this session, we’ll shift our focus from self-care as a perk, to self-care as essential maintenance—as a necessary task to keep you functioning as a capable leader. We’ll share practical ways to recharge and lead with clarity and resilience.  This session is a component of the Advanced Supervision Certificate, but you are not required to be a part of a current or past cohort to attend this program.
