Supervision with content to focus the mind and grow our thinking

The next Virtual Coaching Supervision Circle starts June 2025​

​

What may you be denying your clients by staying as you are?

What a question to open a page with! Yet it’s an important point to note that as coaches we too are ever evolving and growing.

Perhaps supervision is new to you or something you have considered engaging in but not sure how helpful it will be or how it works. Read on to find out why I have created the Coaching Supervision Circle and why I feel awareness of supervision is needed more than ever right now.

​

Coaching supervision provides a safe, supportive space to reflect on your coaching and increase your self-awareness as you celebrate successes; discuss issues and questions that might emerge from your practice, and consider areas of development to enhance your coaching competence and confidence.

 

Why have I developed this programme?

​

My purpose is to create awareness of supervision and the importance of CPD and growth and bring real focus to it so it’s not just meeting a need to be supervised but using it for real development.

 

I am a PCC credentialed coach with the ICF and an accredited senior practitioner coach with the EMCC who has mentored coaches for over 10 years and run individual and group supervision for over 8 years. I bring a wealth of experience as a coach, coach mentor and supervisor and have knowledge of the core competencies from both ICF and EMCC.

 

As coaches we thrive on helping those we work with maximise their potential and strive for excellence. Can we say the same for us?

 

There is a maximum of eight participants per circle to ensure there is time for rich conversation and enable the group to really learn to trust each other, support, challenge and grow as a community of practice.

What is group supervision?

​

Group supervision is a collaborative learning process facilitated by a coaching supervisor. It recognises that all coach participants are experienced and may offer discussion points, questions and feedback.  Each circle will contract on this.

 

Supervision can be split into four key functions:

  1. Normative – this is to quality assure our coaching practice.  We examine our competence and consider our ethical stance in our work.

  2. Formative – this is to increase our competence in our coaching capability.  We may refresh or develop skills, knowledge and/or attributes.  We seek to grow our self-awareness about our coaching practice.

  3. Supportive or Restorative – this is to ensure our practice is good and healthy.  We might check or challenge ourselves, as well as unpack emotional impacts on self (transference)

  4. Commercial – this is where can discuss our business development.  

 

Model agenda

​

  1. Group check in and operating principles                            We will agree our intentions for each other as a group and how we want to work together

  2. Identify supervision needs in the group and order of sharing (2-3 topics per circle)

  3. Supervisee presents case                                                     You will have approx 10 minutes to discuss your thought/issue with the supervisor

  4. Thoughts from the circle on the case                                   Supervisor will open up to the group and ask for them to share thoughts, experiences, questions in relation to the topic that has been discussed

  5. Further exploration                                                          Supervisee is then given more time to explore their thought/issue further and consider insights, learning and potential actions about their own practice

  6. Reflections/Actions                                                    Supervisor will open up to the group and supervisee and invite them to take a minute and note down any reflections/actions for their own practice to take away.

  7. Final words                                                                            Group will be able to share a word or sentence about what they will do next

How do the supervision coaching circle sessions work?

 

We agree our operating principles together and this will centre around confidentiality, respect, and support.  Over time we will grow the space together so that group supervision is a place where we can develop and nurture our coaching practice.  Our contribution in the session might take a broad perspective in examining potential impacts, share a personal or coaching experience, or observe, listen and question to learn and develop greater self-awareness.

​

Confidentiality

All conversations in supervision are respectful of others’ situations and of the information that is being shared.  We agree that everything that is discussed in the group stays within the group. It is a good idea to use generic references to avoid naming specific clients, sponsors and organisations.

My role as the coaching supervisor is to:

  • maintain the overall management of the group and supervision processes, and schedule

  • have regard for where the group is in terms of your coaching development, including the context in which you are coaching

  • set the tone for positive participation in a group learning environment - open and respectful of contributions, encouraging collaboration and supporting learning

  • gain agreement around how we work together, agree a session ‘agenda’ and manage overall processes and timing

So what are the benefits of supervision?

​

Coaching supervision provides a safe, supportive space to reflect on your coaching and increase your self-awareness as you celebrate successes; discuss issues and questions that might emerge from your practice, and consider areas of development to enhance your coaching competence and confidence. The programme gifts you the opportunity to:

  • Explore your ideas and challenges in a safe supportive space

  • Develop your range and bring more aliveness, fierce courage and presence to your work

  • Opportunity to bring new awareness and insights into your practice

  • Time to check in with the core competencies of your professional body and meet credential requirements

Supervision gives you a chance to hold up your coaching practice to a mirror and reflect and review your practice. This could include:

  • What you feel has gone well and what you feel went less well, a successful outcome you achieved

  • a review of how you approached your coaching: models, tools or technique you used

  • a critical incident - one that seemed significant (for whatever reason) that you keep thinking about or has caused you to wonder....

  • something that you are not sure about: e.g. ‘what to do when .....’

  • a boundary issue that may have emerged e.g. at a personal level around limits of competence, or a conflict around values/’personality’; at an organisational level around contracting or sponsorship; at a client level around engagement and motivation

  • a common theme or issue that you have noticed in your coaching

 

If you’re ready to thrive as a coach and find your rhythm

​

To bring aliveness, courage and challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone

​

To invite connection, giving, learning, and more self awareness

​

Then join myself and a community who are ready to be supported and wish to prioritise their growth 

​

I can't wait to welcome you to the circle.
