Equip your event supervisors for success
Managers and supervisors gain confidence and valuable skills
Most Event Supervisors move into their positions because they are great at doing their job. Research however shows the overwhelming majority receive little to no leadership training to support them in their new roles. Our customized, venue-specific learning experience will increase the effectiveness of anyone in an event supervisory role. Participants deepen their understanding of themselves and their staff while learning how their management style influences their decision-making and problem-solving. Participants walk away with concrete strategies to help them adapt to the unique styles of their team members, enabling them to bring out the best in their people.

Who Needs It
Supervisors and Managers typically begin their venue careers on the front line, as ushers, security, ticket takers, greeters, parking attendants, etc. Because they excel in these roles when an opportunity for promotion occurs they are often our first choice. As they become new Managers/Supervisors they know what needs to be done, but they often lack the knowledge and skills to lead others to do it.
How We Do It
The ASCEND program bridges the gap from front-line to supervisor, using Everything DiSC as the foundation. Our facilitators are seasoned venue professionals delivering the latest in researched-based adult education techniques, including personal reflection, small and large group interaction, and multi-media. All VSG-AT programs can be facilitated on-site or virtually.
