Responsive Supervision
Do you find yourself struggling to be an effective supervisor despite your best intentions? Maybe it feels like you are putting in a ton of effort with little results. We believe high quality supervision starts with self-awareness and self-care. You can't understand or supervise others effectively without a deeper understanding of yourself. That means understanding who you are as a supervisor, who you want to be, and what it means for you to be in that role.
We are here to help make your overall supervision practices more empathic, effective, and efficient. Join us to up your supervision skill set and increase your confidence as a supervisor.
Learning Objectives
Learn terminology related to management and supervision.
Identify your impact to supervision and strategies towards improved awareness.
