Supervisor Training Workshop - Brisbane
Supervisor Training Workshop - Brisbane
Look, we've all been there. One day you're doing your job, getting along with everyone, and then suddenly someone hands you a team to manage. Now you're supposed to know how to handle performance issues, give feedback that doesn't make people cry, and somehow keep everyone motivated while hitting those targets your boss keeps talking about. If that sounds familiar, you're definitely not alone.
Managing people isn't something they teach you in school, and let's be honest - most of us learn by making mistakes. But here's the thing: those mistakes can be pretty costly when you're dealing with real people's careers and your company's bottom line. I've seen good people struggle for months trying to figure out how to have that difficult conversation with the team member who's always late, or how to delegate without feeling like they're dumping work on others.
This supervisor training workshop is designed for people who want to get ahead of those challenges instead of learning the hard way. We'll cover the stuff that actually matters - like how to give feedback that people can actually use, how to spot potential problems before they blow up, and how to build the kind of team culture where people actually want to show up and do good work.
You'll learn practical techniques for handling the everyday situations that trip up new supervisors. Things like how to delegate effectively without micromanaging, how to have performance conversations that don't feel like punishment, and how to motivate different personality types on your team. We'll also tackle the trickier stuff - dealing with conflict between team members, managing former peers who might resent your promotion, and handling those conversations with HR when things get complicated.
What You'll Learn
How to give feedback that actually improves performance instead of just making people defensive. We'll practice real scenarios so you know exactly what to say and when to say it. You'll discover how to delegate tasks in a way that develops your people rather than just getting things off your plate. We'll cover different communication styles and how to adapt your approach for different team members.
You'll learn to spot early warning signs of team problems and how to address them before they become major issues. We'll discuss practical strategies for supervising teams through change and uncertainty, plus how to maintain your own sanity while supporting others.
The Bottom Line
After this workshop, you'll have a toolkit of practical strategies that you can use immediately. You'll feel more confident having those tough conversations, and you'll know how to build the kind of team environment where people thrive. Most importantly, you'll understand that being a good supervisor isn't about having all the answers - it's about knowing how to support your people so they can do their best work. And trust me, that makes all the difference.
