Welcome to the course on Becoming an SPT Supervisor!

What a privilege and an honor it will be to get to spend time with you as we learn how to do this “supervision”  🙂  Becoming a supervisor in someone’s life is a big deal and is one of the most rewarding relationships you will ever develop with another.

We are so grateful that you want to continue to learn more about SPT and how to apply the ideas into your own development as a supervisor.

Welcome to the next level of your growth and journey 🙂

Lisa and Khris
