If so\, join our interactive program designed to help you understand what it takes to be a successful supervisor. This course is tailored for non-supervisors and will prepare you for the expectations and responsibilities of a supervisory position. Participants will engage in lively group discussions\, explore real-world examples\, assess their current skill sets\, and learn about the challenges and rewards of transitioning from an individual contributor to a supervisor. \n \nThe skills and abilities that make employees excellent individual contributors are different from those required to be effective supervisors or managers. As an individual contributor\, your performance is measured by your personal output and achievements. However\, as a supervisor\, your role shifts to overseeing and managing a team\, providing leadership and guidance\, and ensuring that your team meets its goals and performs effectively.  \n \n“The High Potentials: Is Supervision Right for Me? course highlighted the balance between managing tasks and managing people. We had to set some real goals in class and then discuss them with a partner and get feedback. That was very practical for me. I particularly liked the section on motivation. I can really use the information to try and understand better what motivates employees.”  \n -Bethany Rose – Customer Service Manager\, MTS Sensors Division  \n \nWho Should Attend \nIndividual contributors who are being considered for promotion to a supervisory role or are interested in being promoted to a supervisory position. Note: If you are already a supervisor\, we recommend the Fundamentals of Supervision Certificate Program. \n \nLearning Objectives \nAt the end of the program\, participants will be able to: \n\nList characteristics of effective supervisors\nIdentify areas of strength and development for supervisory success \nDescribe two core responsibilities of a supervisor\nDescribe changes and challenges new supervisors experience in their transition\nDetermine if the role of supervisor is right for you\nExplain why being an effective leader is important to a supervisor’s success \nApply five practices of exemplary leaders\nCreate a professional development plan based on leadership competencies\nDefine and develop SMART Goals\nManage time and priorities in support of your organization\nDescribe the five steps to delegating effectively\nIdentify obstacles and strategies to delegating effectively\nSet clear expectations\nIdentify strategies to build the skill level of employees \nUtilize different motivational incentives to engage employees\n\n\n\nReady to Advance Your Career?\nJoin professionals across the Carolinas who trust Catapult for professional development. \nRegister Now →\n​

The live instruction made complex topics clear and engaging\, helping me understand how to think like a strategic HR leader rather than just memorize content. David's teaching style made it easy to stay focused and motivated through some very dense material. \n \nThe practice exams were absolutely essential. They didn’t just help me study\, they trained me to think critically\, spot traps\, and approach each question from a strategic perspective. I went into the exam confident and prepared because I had already practiced at that level. \n \nAnd of course\, David’s Seven Princes framework tied everything together. That model helped me truly grasp the mindset and competencies the SPHR exam is built around. It’s not about being tactical\, it’s about thinking like a strategy driven HR Pro. The Seven Princes kept me grounded in that mindset throughout my studies and during the exam itself. \n \nIf you're serious about passing the SPHR\, I cannot recommend this course highly enough. It's more than just prep; it's a full reframe of how you approach HR leadership." \nHannah Royal\, SPHR\, CPSP – HR Generalist  \n \n“I absolutely LOVED this web-based PHR/SPHR Certification Study Course. It was so convenient for my busy work schedule\, I could attend class at work or home. I have taken the “traditional” SHRM 12 week course years ago and talk about boring lectures. David’s prep course is hands down the best. I have recommended his prep material and now his web-based study course to all HR professionals seeking to slay the beast! Thanks again for your passion in helping the HR profession!” \nTammy Schmitt – HR Manager – CertainTeed Corp \n \n"It didn’t take long for me to realize that the benefits of your program extend far beyond simply being ready for the test. The variety of learning methods – audio CDs\, on-line sample tests and games\, flash cards\, and study manual – was a tremendous help in absorbing an overwhelming amount of information. I especially appreciate the test taking tips! And our classroom lectures not only prepared me for the exam\, but truly got me engaged in all aspects of Human Resources. I’ll miss the weekly opportunities to get your professional input and to discuss current HR topics with colleagues." \nLaura Tomanelli\, SPHR – Human Resources Generalist – Village of Pinehurst \n \n"I cannot say enough about the comprehensive PHR prep course presented by Distinctive HR through CAI. David Siler’s exceptionally prepared lectures and materials covered every base in my exam prep and increased my confidence ten-fold. The study materials\, in addition to the classes\, enabled an ‘old’ student\, to successfully complete a very intimidating exam. I would highly recommend this course as the best preparation around!" \nNancy M.
