Give Your Supervisors The Tools To Lead Well—Without Burning Out or Burning Through Staff
Supervisors are the #1 driver of turnover in human services — but most have never been trained to lead people.
They are promoted for their dedication, their tenure, or their ability to “get stuff done”. But managing people requires a different skillset.
When supervisors struggle, the costs pile up:
IDD agencies pay an average of $6,000+ every time an employee leaves (UMN research).
Staff feel unsupported and burned out.
Outcomes worsen for individuals being served when teams are unstable.
And it’s not just human services. In every industry, leadership gaps lead to costly turnover, low morale, and missed opportunities.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Meet Nate Beers
Like you, I’ve seen the toll turnover takes on clients, staff, and organizations.
Early in my career, I was fortunate to have several incredible mentors who shaped the way I saw leadership. But soon after, I also worked under a series of terrible bosses—and the contrast was staggering.
The impact of leadership (good or bad) wasn’t just personal—it rippled into team morale, staff retention, and even business outcomes. That experience sparked a passion in me that’s lasted more than 15 years: helping supervisors grow leadership skills, one habit at a time.
As a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I began applying behavioral science to solve staffing and leadership challenges in human services. The results were too encouraging to keep to myself. That’s why I created the Leadership Lab: to give supervisors the kind of support I wish every leader could have.
“The content is presented so simply that any supervisor, in any field, could pick it up and make it a best practice.”

Without leadership training and support, supervisors feel…
❌ Overwhelmed and reactive
❌ Stuck in constant turnover cycles
❌ Alone in their leadership struggles
With The Leadership Lab, supervisors become…
🌟 Confident leaders who know what to do and how to do it
🌟 Skilled at building strong, stable teams
🌟 Energized by leadership instead of drained by it
“Before the training, I wasn’t always clear with my expectations. After, I’ve learned that clarity is kindness. Now I can set clear expectations for my team, and it’s made a huge difference.”
— Brian Kennedy, past Supervisor Course participant
