Supervision Across Difference: Avoiding the Pitfalls
Wednesday February 21st 9:00 am - 11:00 am
“I want people to come to work and just do their jobs!” “I don’t think race, gender and or who you sleep with should matter in supervision!” These statements are just two of many that reflect the need for all who work within an organization to learn how and why understanding that difference matters in the workplace- both supervisor and supervisee. This session is particularly design to create space for those who supervise to learn skills and discover ways to avoid common pitfalls and navigate the dynamics of difference.
