Now you’re dealing with turnover. Good employees are leaving for competitors. Your supervisors are learning through trial-and-error – and they’re experimenting on your team.
The difference isn’t technical skills – it’s the leadership and people skills your supervisors never got – but skills they need so you can remain competitive.

What Supervisors Are Saying
Our company has been working with the PeopleWork programs for five years, a testament to how much of a difference these programs have made for our people and culture.
I feel more confident about how I approach my guys, how we work together, being sensitive to each other, and making our teams better. Both in operations and safety.
I connect with my team on a CareFull level. My people see this as ongoing, not something I did for 8 weeks and then went back.
Other outfits may teach frontline leadership skills, but none would have the message, the steps, the method of delivery, the professionalism, and charisma. This is the whole package.
I’m now focused on being a better leader, listening and hearing what each of my employees has to say. Inviting their questions, and being there when they need to vent.
This program helped me in being better planned and more prepared. And I’ve noticed much more engagement from my team.
When Your Supervisors Finally Know How to Lead People
Picture your operation when your supervisors actually know how to lead people.
Employees don’t tense up when their supervisor walks up – they light up. Your best people bring their friends to work here. You stop losing good employees to competitors.
This isn’t corporate management training. It’s the people skills that make small companies special.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this change our family-style culture?
Just the opposite. This training helps supervisors become better at building the genuine relationships and close-knit teams that make small companies special.
Q: Do my supervisors really need formal training? They seem to be doing fine.
Your supervisors directly impact every aspect of your operation – team culture, safety performance, productivity, communication, and employee retention. Even good supervisors can become great with the right people skills. The difference between a supervisor who naturally connects with people and one who has been trained shows up in team cohesion, safety buy-in, problem-solving effectiveness, and whether your best people want to stay and grow with you.
Q: What are the Office Hours and how do they work?
Kevin Burns hosts live Office Hours every Wednesday and Thursday from 1-2PM Eastern. Your supervisors can join these sessions to ask questions, get guidance on specific situations, and receive ongoing coaching support as they apply what they’re learning.
Q: What if my supervisors resist training or think they don’t need it?
Frame it as giving them tools to become even better at what they already care about – connecting with their people. That you want them to gain the skills to not just manage their teams but lead them. That you want them to be able to ascend upward in this company one day and they are going to need more leadership skills. Most supervisors want to succeed with their teams; they just need to know how.
