*Special note for on-site sessions:  The program is intended for people in a supervisory role. It is not an appropriate class for people with no leadership or supervisory responsibilities. It is advisable to have different levels of supervisors in different sections. For example a boss should not attend with his or her subordinate(s). It can be a powerful experience for supervisors from the same department to attend together.
