Often\, people leaders ar e left on their own to try and figure out how to implement their superviso r duties. Unskilled supervision can create organizational cultures that ar e ineffective at best\, and causing harm at worst. When people leaders und erstand the expectations of their role\, they are able to supervise in a w ay that fosters healthy working relationships with each employee that repo rts to them. This\, in turn\, builds psychological safety and creates thri ving\, inclusive organizational cultures. \n\n\n\nThis highly interactive training provides participants with immediately implementable tools and st rategies for transforming their supervision skills for stronger\, more pro ductive one-on-one relationships in the workplace. \n\n\n\nThis workshop i s one of MCN’s most popular trainings and consistently receives high eva luations. \n\n\n\nThis is a six-hour virtual training spread over three tw o-hour sessions: \n\n\n\n\nSeptember 8\, 2026 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Cen tral\n\n\n\nSeptember 9\, 2026 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Central\n\n\n\nSep tember 10\, 2026 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Central\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopics Covered: \n\n\n\n\nCultivating self-awareness and brain/body response to s tress\n\n\n\nFeedback conversation skills\n\n\n\nDeveloping psychological safety\n\n\n\nUsing the Platinum Rule in supervision\n\n\n\nOne-on-One che ck-ins and Supervising Framework\n\n\n\nCoach approach to supervising\n\n\ n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nBetter understand the competencies of the supervisor roles and have improved confidence in implementing the role \n\n\n\nAnalysis of the challenges to inclusive leadership with the vertic al power dynamic created by hierarchical structures\n\n\n\nCultivate self- awareness and accountability for fostering positive organizational culture and avoiding destructive behaviors in the workplace\n\n\n\nIncrease comfo rt at holding a range of conversations\, including developmental feedback\ n\n\n\nLearn strategies for helping employees solve their own challenges\n \n\n\nBuild awareness of when to use coaching in the supervisor role\n\n\n \n\nNote: We also strongly recommend you take Practical Leadership 2.0: Bu ilding Engaged Teams.

I’ve worked cross-functional ly in HR\, business development\, change management and learning and devel opment\, and across many industries–from nonprofit work\, higher educati on\, food service\, and retail–to DEI consulting. \n\n\n\nWhat I found a long the way is that the core ingredients for successful relationships (an d ultimately business growth) are rooted in emotional intelligence\, trust -based communication\, and intercultural competence. Now I offer coaching\ , training\, consulting\, and thought-partnership for individuals and team s seeking to build these skills.I work with an incredibly diverse team of practitioners\, with go-to methodologies that include critical HROD\, chan ge management frameworks\, emotional intelligence (EQ-i)\, intercultural d evelopment (IDI)\, systems audits\, and cultural assessments.
