About the Event
March 2026 SESSION
Stepping into a supervisory role in 9-1-1 is one of the most challenging transitions in public safety. “Promoted but Not Prepared” is a practical, honest, and highly relevant session designed to help new—or soon-to-be—supervisors navigate the shift from peer to leader with confidence.
This session explores the most common struggles new supervisors face: earning respect, communicating expectations, managing former peers, addressing performance issues, and finding your own leadership style in a high-stress environment. Participants will learn actionable strategies for balancing empathy with accountability, making fair decisions, and establishing credibility early.
Whether you're newly promoted, preparing for advancement, or looking to strengthen your leadership foundation, this session provides real-world tools that make the transition smoother, clearer, and more successful.
