>> Dr. Newman: My pleasure. Thank you so much. It certainly is my pleasure to be with you this afternoon and I get to talk about a topic that is just really one of my favorites. We do have quite a bit to talk about, so I'm going to move along. If you have questions, I believe that I can certainly give you my e‑mail at the end, but we'll do what we can about answering them during our time.
Objectives
Here is what I hope to accomplish in the next hour:
- I’d like you to be able to identify and be familiar with some information on individual differences and how that impacts the supervisory process.
- Recognize individual differences that can exist in a supervisor and supervisee relationship.
- Develop some strategies on how we might address those to effectively negotiate our communication with supervisees.
- Work towards the ability to listen to different perspectives based on culture.
