Coaching & Developing Employees BTLM*0129*600
with Lindsey Stutheit
Coaching is the supervisory skill most likely to drive long-term team performance — and the one most skipped in favor of faster, easier telling. This session introduces the GROW model (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward) and builds participants' ability to use questions rather than answers to develop employee thinking and ownership. Participants practice real workplace challenges, not fictional scenarios, making the transfer immediate.
Understanding Team Dynamics BTLM*0132*600
with Melissa Martin
Teams do not perform at their peak by accident — they are built. This session uses Tuckman's stages of team development (Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing) to help supervisors understand where their team currently is and what leadership style each stage requires. Participants also explore the research-backed drivers of employee engagement, the concept of psychological safety, and how to build team norms that reduce friction and sustain performance.

Developing Employees through Delegation & Accountability BTLM*0133*600
with Tonya Hacker
Delegation is not giving away tasks you do not want — it is one of the most powerful tools for developing people and multiplying your team's capacity. This session introduces five levels of delegation (from "do exactly as instructed" to "act independently") and helps supervisors match the right level to each employee and task. Participants build a real delegation plan and practice the delegation of conversation that sets employees up for success rather than failure.
