"You Can Be A Great Supervisor...NOW! "
A Guide for the New, Hesitant and Conflicted Supervisor
Supervisors have to make tough decisions. Many times, these decisions are accompanied by mixed feelings and controversy that can result in hesitancy, conflict (both internal and external) and even lapses in honesty.
It happens all the time; employees receive promotions into management positions for the first time, and the majority have little or no experience managing and motivating employees.
We cannot be shocked that so few of today's supervisors and managers don't know how to effectively communicate to their staff what is expected of them.
- Are You a New Supervisor?
- Are You bashful or hesitant about giving the direction you know your team needs?
- Are you conflicted because some personal relationship is getting in the way of effective supervision?
Help is not on the way...it's here! Learn the art of “confrontational compromise” and “stern concession” in this session. Participants will build the skills to help them push through their own challenging supervisory situations while developing plans for immediate action.
This workshop is perfect for managers, leaders and supervisors of any level.
On-going coaching and technical assistance available.

Where's My Help?
Identifying, Releasing and Unleashing "Would Be" Leaders
In a time where there is so much spoken and written on leadership, many have asked the question, “Why is real leadership is so scarce?” In order to maximize the talents and abilities of its employees, organizations must adjust and remove the systemic organizational "LEADER BLOCKS" in order to develop "Would Be" Leaders.
Your team might not be this bad, but we can help to make them better!
In this workshop, managers and leaders will learn to build leadership development into the core belief and systems of their organization.

As A Leader Thinketh...
"Leaders Must Know AND Show"
John Maxwell said, “Everything Rises and Falls with Leadership.” If this is true, I believe that it is also true that leaders rise and fall on their thoughts. When a leader thinks the right kinds of thoughts, they may well be well on the road to effective and fruitful leadership. Thinking, however, is not enough.
Leaders must not only know the right things, they must exhibit or show what they know. Participant managers and leaders will explore and evaluate their individual behavior (in the organizational context) and learn to deliver their talent for the benefit of the organization.

Who "Should" Be In Charge?
The Skilled Technician vs. The Natural Leader
Companies have a tendency to promote employees who show the ability to do a job well but not necessarily because of their leadership acumen. While this is not necessarily a wrong decision, lacking leadership in a leadership position will invariably be a source of friction and discomfort.
This workshop features a version for the senior managers who make promotion decisions and a version for the supervisors who have recently been promoted. Each will address the dynamics involved in making these decisions work for the team and the organization.

This Will Never Happen to YOU!
Critical Issues Surrounding Mentoring and Youth Work
There are times in youth work where we may encounter issues that lay outside the scope preventive interventions including Mentoring. Issues of Neglect, Abuse, Suicide, and Sexual Abuse are never desirable topics but they are sometimes necessary.
While primary intervention programs are seldom designed to address these issues, those responsible for working with youth should know what a Critical Issues is and what to do (and not to do) should they encounter “Critical Issues.”
