Going from Colleague to Supervisor

Speaker(s): Patricia Roberts-Rose and Luanda Johnson

Date: June 17^th 2026

Time: 5:15-8:30pm

Summary: Transitioning from colleague to supervisor is one of the most rewarding—yet challenging—professional milestones. This training explores the complex shift in dynamics that occurs when stepping into leadership over former peers. Participants will examine the changes in roles, responsibilities, and boundaries that accompany supervisory positions and learn strategies to navigate power differentials, maintain trust, and establish credibility. Through discussion, case examples, and practical tools, the session will highlight effective communication techniques, ethical decision-making, and approaches to giving feedback and managing conflict. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies and a clearer understanding of how to lead with confidence, fairness, and professionalism during this critical transition.

Learning Objectives: By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

Identify key shifts in role, responsibility, and professional boundaries that occur when moving from a peer relationship to a supervisory position.
Gain knowledge around effective communication strategies for establishing credibility, addressing power dynamics, and fostering trust with former colleagues.
Implement supervision frameworks and decision-making approaches that support fairness, consistency, and ethical leadership.
Recognize common challenges associated with supervising former peers—such as resistance, blurred boundaries, or role confusion—and develop strategies to navigate them.
Strengthen skills in giving feedback, setting expectations, and managing conflict in ways that promote team cohesion and professional growth.
Develop a personalized action plan for transitioning into a supervisory role with confidence, clarity, and professionalism.
