Professional Supervisor Skills is a three-day intensive program ideal for newly promoted or aspiring supervisors who are motivated to succeed and excel in their new role. Participants learn the difference between managing and leading, how to deal with challenges, effective prioritization, professional communication habits, and team motivation. They will also develop skills on providing useful feedback and empowering their team to grow and flourish.
This training course has been designed to support trainers in offering a complete and comprehensive training experience. Get students thinking ahead, by providing them with pre-assignment materials several days in advance, then welcome them to your class with a student guide and pre-assessment. Upon completion of the workshop, trainers will have the option to provide students with a post-assessment, quick reference tools, supplementary reading lists, and personalized follow-up, to help them assess their progress.
As always, Velsoft training materials are completely customizable, based on the needs of both trainers and their students. Each package comes complete with an instructor guide, student manual, PowerPoint slides, quick reference guide, and much more.
