Who I am and why did I create this course?
My name is Marie Gervais
and I'm the CEO of Shift Management Inc.
Since that position a number of years ago, I have helped hundreds of managers in industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, robotics, engineering, power, social work and not for profit sectors move from poor people management to confident and skilled leadership.
It has always bothered me how unhappy many people are at work!
So few people at the front or middle management level actually get the tools, resources, and training they need to lead real human beings. They just don't have the understanding or strategies to work effectively with people!
How can you resource your team to do their job if you yourself don’t have the necessary skills to get them there?
That’s where our Manager Leadership Certificate course comes in. It is research-based and uses real industry examples as the foundation for the content.
Help your managers bring their hidden management talent to life by learning to resource their teams to do their jobs.

What participants say...
"We didn’t think some of those guys would ever change. But we have seen remarkable and sustained positive behaviours in the middle and upper management.
It makes our dealings with them as Union Stewards much more collaborative."
"This course has been able to make myself aware and open up my mind to different ways of approaching Individual employees.
This has helped me better myself but also be able to handle all sorts of skill level and attitudes with employees which I cant thank you enough. "
"Weekly planning and follow up helped me feel more organized and in control of my time.
Having references to guide myself through communication and effective listening was helpful. Goal setting is key, with a deadline to achieve keeps me on track! Thanks."
"The Supervisory Leadership Training Course sets itself apart with the practical goal setting and goal reporting following each of the topic modules.
It was a step up from just reading about leadership, communication, motivation etc., but having to practically implement the skills being taught."
"Good opportunity to expand my skill set and have an open mind about other ways. This course has given me different ways of thinking how to approach today's workforce.
With close to 5 different generations at work, leaders need to know how to talk, motivate and to listen to each of them. You need to be flexible, relatable, and still have a consistent message for all you manage or supervise. This course hits all of those notes. "
"Sharing stories and ideas was very collaborative. This course enlightened me to understand the emotional aspect of being a leader and manager.
By understanding the other parties views and emotional response when dealing with an issue has given the tools to defuse a conflict before it becomes a larger issue."

Answering your Manager's questions
about the course...
I'm already so busy. How will I find time?
For most supervisors, the hardest part of the course is learning to schedule their time and to give themselves permission to do the course - at work. Their bosses give them the time and their team members respect the close door while they work on the course, but they themselves don't believe they can take the time. Fortunately this is all addressed as part of the course. You learn to schedule and stick to your decision as part of the course content and coaching sessions.
My life exhausts me, how will I get the energy for this course?
Although I can't answer this question completely, I do know that as you learn to chunk, schedule and take control of the areas of your supervisor position that you have not yet been using, you will find you have a lot more energy. You will also learn to start paying attention to your own self-care requirements. And it is energizing to be part of the group sessions. People often say they are inspired by the group.
How will I stay motivated and encouraged?
You receive regular updates, feedback and reminders throughout the course via email. And if you are feeling a lag or drop in the course, remember that you can access your instructor/coach and get some tips!
How hard is this course?
It is easy enough for people who are new to the concepts to absorb and apply and challenging enough for people who are more advanced to take the concepts to he next level.
I never liked school, so I'm worried I will feel the same way about this course...
This is not school. It is about you finding your manager groove, unlocking the keys to your potential and choosing work goals that make your job more enjoyable and your leadership more effective.
What if I need my employer to pay for the course?
Two options:
a. Pay for it now and submit for reimbursement later
b. Send this link to your employer and request payment.
Most employers have between $1,200-$3,000 allocated for professional development and training per employee at the management levels.
What if I have problems logging on or other tech issues?
We have a help desk, where you can submit a ticket, and an instructor you can access via email or phone.
What if English is not my first language, will that affect my ability to do the course?
This course is in plain English at about a Canadian Benchmark Level 5-7 which is the basic English level required by most employers. If you are already employed, you likely have the necessary English skills. If you aren't sure, take one of the online English assessments to find out what your reading, writing, listening and speaking levels are.
Who do I contact about course questions?
Marie Gervais or your instructor/coach
Who sees the inventories and goals I set?
If you are an individual, only you and your instructor/coach see the inventories and goals. If you are part of a group from your company, the employer receives a copy of all goals and inventories at the end of the course.
What if I don't finish the course?
We do everything we can to help you be successful in this course and stay in touch with you regularly so you can discuss any obstacles. If you had a serious illness or death in the family, you can come back into the course at a later date and attend the live sessions with a different group. But if you don't finish the course, you cannot receive the certificate.
If I am sick or on holidays during the course, how will that work?
Usually you can arrange the course schedule on your own time should that happen. If you miss one live session, you can watch the recording for a limited period of time. If you miss more than one live session or any of the rest of the course requirements, you cannot receive your certificate.
