Through this highly participatory training designed for supervisors with all levels of experience, you will:

  • Identify your preferred supervisory style
  • Learn to recognize what supervisory approaches are most effective under different conditions
  • Consider when to adapt your style and practice doing so
  • Strengthen a variety of critical forms of supervisory communication
