    This 8-week leadership program is crafted specifically for new or emerging supervisors, providing a foundational toolkit to guide them through the unique responsibilities of their roles. Meeting once a week for three hours over eight weeks, the curriculum emphasizes the essential skills and mindset shifts needed to lead with confidence and purpose. Participants will explore the supervisor’s role in team dynamics, learning how to manage not only their own responsibilities but also foster the growth and productivity of their teams. With a focus on practical management competencies, the program also introduces strategies for aligning team goals with organizational objectives, effective delegation, and planning techniques that maximize productivity.

    Beyond technical skills, the program offers in-depth modules on leadership styles, emotional intelligence, and effective communication, all of which contribute to creating a positive, motivating work environment. Supervisors will also learn how to navigate complex team dynamics, handle conflict, and resolve issues with empathy and clarity. Additionally, participants will acquire critical human resources knowledge—from performance management to stress recognition—that helps them support team members’ well-being and professional development. By completing this program, supervisors will feel equipped not only to manage but to inspire their teams, leading with adaptability, resilience, and a commitment to organizational success.

    Please note: This offering of the program will be delivered entirely in Spanish.

    I come from a family with a long history in manufacturing, with both my parents working and retiring from the industry. I learned the value of manufacturing early on and joined the manufacturing workforce at the start of my college years. Over time, I gained experience in academia, business, and healthcare, which has provided me with a unique perspective on the manufacturing industry.

    With over 20 years of experience, I have led multiple projects and teams, developed sustainable programs, and facilitated leadership training focused on enhancing self-awareness and team building. My approach includes setting actionable goals to reduce turnover, improve workplace collaboration, foster creativity and problem-solving, and create career advancement opportunities.
