Overview

How do supervisors help their employees to grow and develop in the workplace? Applying a coaching approach to supervision establishes a motivating environment in which employees can meet department and professional goals. Coaching is designed to provide ongoing feedback, recognition, and support as employees work towards meeting their objectives. In this unique series, which combines training with application through one-on-one coaching, you’ll learn how to apply a four-part framework—trust, potential, commitment, and execution—to help your employees meet their professional goals.

How It Works — This Highly Personalized Experience Is Comprised of Two Component Parts

1. Online Session. You will attend a two-hour session on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, where you will learn the key components of coaching and how to apply them to your work in supervising others.
2. Supervision Coaching. Next, you will be assigned a “supervision coach” who is well-versed in this content. You will complete three hour-long one-on-one coaching sessions within the span of one month. Your coach will work with you to both enhance your understanding of coaching and embed coaching practices into your work as a supervisor. Upon completion of the sessions, you will be able to utilize a coaching approach in your supervisory role.

What is supervision coaching?

Supervision coaching is designed to help enhance or overcome any limiting beliefs or “stuckness” you may face and to support the day-to-day implementation of the new skills you have gained during the training session.

Comprised of three hour-long coaching calls over a one-month time frame, supervision coaching provides an opportunity to apply and integrate the skills presented during the training program. Our coaches—who are themselves experts in higher education with agility in the supervision skillset—are trained to meet you where you are and to help you implement the training you’ve received in your everyday work practices. In this way, coaching allows you to extend your learning even further to really make it “stick.”

Who Should Attend

This program has been designed for aspiring, new, and seasoned supervisors interested in expanding their knowledge base and approach to building an effective supervisory relationship with their team.
