Moving into a position of authority means meeting new challenges, taking on new responsibilities, and mastering new skills. It may also mean learning to manage across cultural and language differences. New Managers can often be overwhelmed by new responsibilities and anxious about the transition from “coworker” to “boss.”
Workers who have recently become supervisors often worry about the way others will react to their new supervisor status … have concerns about keeping up with a tougher workload … and wonder how to handle the new tasks they will be faced with: hiring, disciplinary action, managing change, even firing.

You will find out how to relate well to former peers who are now your subordinates, and you’ll learn the communication skills that will help you handle these changing relationships in a way that’s comfortable for everyone. You’ll discover secrets for motivating and encouraging people to do their “personal best” for you, and find out how to discipline firmly and fairly, without creating resentment. This supervisory training will show you how to positively influence the behavior of your workers.

2026-04-23 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
4/23/2026
Your buyers have a new secret advisor — and it’s not your sales team. It’s AI.
Every day, buyers are asking tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews the very questions they used to ask you:
• “Who are the best suppliers for [your product/service]?”
• “What problems should I watch out for with [your solution]?”
• “How does [your company] compare to [your competitor]?”
If you’re not showing up in those answers, you’re invisible — and AI is pointing buyers to your competitors instead. You don’t control what AI says. But you can shape the answers buyers see.
In this practical, plain-English webinar, you’ll get a clear plan to stay visible, trusted, and chosen. You will learn:
• Why traditional SEO and marketing tactics are failing in the AI era
• The five questions AI answers for your buyers — and how to shape those answers
• What AI actually looks for when deciding which companies to recommend
• A practical, non-technical roadmap to turn AI into your competitive advantage
