Recommended Programs for Seasonal Staff


These are Ruby's most popular seasonal programs. These programs can be customized to fit your specific needs. To be most effective, Ruby prefers 3 hours for each program but can work with you to make it fit your seasonal training plans. Most agencies offer 2 sessions of the same program so that staff can come to either session. This allows you to invite folks from other facilities and programs and still have coverage during the training sessions.

The Manager's Essential Guide to Supervisory Skills
The Real Truth About Leading Successfully

Most supervisors are promoted from the ranks. They understand the people that they are now leading. The trouble is that they were never taught the supervisory skills they need to effectively lead and motivate. This program will change that fast!

Using her own experience in recreation facility management, Ruby truthfully and powerfully enlightens your supervisory team to their own potential for greatness. They will be enthusiastically taking notes as she explodes the myths of leadership that are causing them such frustration at work.

Ruby will replace these myths with empowering, "apply it now" strategies for success. From the little-known approach that makes a conversation twice as effective; to dealing with "high-maintenance" employees-your staff will learn specific, tangible and applicable strategies to competently handle any situation and employee. Most importantly, they will bring that empowerment to work day after day.

You will have charismatic, highly skilled managers to lead your front-line staff in building your organizations' constituency. Your supervisors will have the skills they need to combine with their natural talents to practice true leadership. Your front-line staff will have outstanding leaders who powerfully motivate them to be their own personal best with your customers. And when your staff has the tools to be extraordinary, they will naturally shine at their work!

Ruby will help your managers learn how to:
     • Demonstrate that they are a positive role model for the staff they supervise
     • Utilize positive communication skills
     • Manage time wisely
     • Demonstrate effective delegation
     • Clarify expectations for every staff member
     • Create an environment to promote staff development and retention

This powerful session will help your organization in a number of ways. Your supervisors and managers learn how to handle difficult situations, so they are more confident, effective and productive.
