Our goal is simple. We want to have a live dialogue about the things that really make an impact on team members—when you are the supervisor. Spoiler alert, two of the biggest tips knowing the researched ways supervisors build real culture and a few things we need to stop doing in the workplace. We will open a conversation about why we need brilliant supervision skills now more than ever. Then, we will dig into the most practical advice about how to get more of that gold! This presentation is full of intriguing and true stories about the journey to a place of authentic supervision – for all of us. This course has four sections covering: Supervision competencies, self-awareness worksheets, personality profiles, work love languages, building trust, conflict and feedback styles, our MOVIE recordings, the habits of top-rated companies, team dynamics and why you can’t actually motivate anyone!
