Who am I and why did I create this course?
My name is Marie Gervais
and I'm the CEO of Shift Management Inc.
I am a learning professional with a PhD in culture and learning in the workplace. My own management experience has been with multicultural teams with up to 8 projects at a time, supervising between 5 and 35 team members per project, responsible for million dollar budgets, and responsible for keeping multiple stakeholders happy.
Since that position a number of years ago, I have worked with many industries and seen hundreds of supervisors and managers in industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, robotics, engineering, power, social work and not for profit sectors.
Something that has always really bothered me is how unhappy many people are at work.
Mostly this is because so few people at the front or middle management level actually get the kind of tools, resources, and training they need to lead real human beings. They just don't have the understanding or strategies to work effectively with people!
How can you resource your team to do their job if you yourself don’t have the necessary skills to get them there?
In 2008, I started a company to focus specifically on that middle spot where those employees who are good at their jobs get promoted to management and need some targeted assistance with developing that new supervisory skill set.
My Supervisory Leadership Certificate course, is research-based and uses real industry examples as the foundation for the content.

Frequently asked questions
Here are a few answers to our most common questions
For most supervisors, the hardest part of the course is learning to schedule their time and to give themselves permission to do the course - at work. Their bosses give them the time and their team members respect the close door while they work on the course, but they themselves don't believe they can take the time. Fortunately this is all addressed as part of the course. You learn to schedule and stick to your decision as part of the course content and coaching sessions.
Although I can't answer this question completely, I do know that as you learn to chunk, schedule and take control of the areas of your supervisor position that you have not yet been using, you will find you have a lot more energy. You will also learn to start paying attention to your own self-care requirements. And it is energizing to be part of the group sessions. People often say they are inspired by the group.
You receive regular updates, feedback and reminders throughout the course via email. And if you are feeling a lag or drop in the course, remember that you can access your instructor/coach and get some tips!
It is easy enough for people who are new to the concepts to absorb and apply and challenging enough for people who are more advanced to take the concepts to he next level.
This is not school. It is about you finding your manager groove, unlocking the keys to your potential and choosing work goals that make your job more enjoyable and your leadership more effective.
Two options:
a. Pay for it now and submit for reimbursement later
b. Send this link to your employer and request payment.
Most employers have between $1,200-$3,000 allocated for professional development and training per employee at the management levels.
We have a help desk, where you can submit a ticket, and an instructor you can access via email or phone.
This course is in plain English at about a Canadian Benchmark Level 5-7 which is the basic English level required by most employers. If you are already employed, you likely have the necessary English skills. If you aren't sure, take one of the online English assessments to find out what your reading, writing, listening and speaking levels are.
Marie Gervais or your instructor/coach
If you are an individual, only you and your instructor/coach see the inventories and goals. If you are part of a group from your company, the employer receives a copy of all goals and inventories at the end of the course.
We do everything we can to help you be successful in this course and stay in touch with you regularly so you can discuss any obstacles. If you had a serious illness or death in the family, you can come back into the course at a later date and attend the live sessions with a different group. But if you don't finish the course, you cannot receive the certificate.
Usually you can arrange the course schedule on your own time should that happen. If you miss one live session, you can watch the recording for a limited period of time. If you miss more than one live session or any of the rest of the course requirements, you cannot receive your certificate.
REFUND POLICY
There are no refunds for courses following payment. Courses can be kept in your profile as a credit to complete at a later date for up to two years after payment.
GUARANTEE
We guarantee our course results 100% when course content is completed, all application exercises and goals have been applied, and students have actively participated in live sessions. Shift Management courses are structured to improve your management/leadership skills - subject to course completion and application of concepts to your workplace. A student's lack of effort or random completion of course requirements are not the fault of the course or the instructor. If however a student completes all course requirements and does not see any results, it is possible to access a credit to an equivalent Shift Management course/coaching package or a comparable course with one of our affiliate partners.
