Supervised Coaching for Coaches
Empowering Coaches to be masterful in their coaching
How do I know how well I am coaching?
How do I improve my coaching skills?
What blind spots do I have as a coach?
How can I ensure that my coaching dialogues are not going in circles?
Coaching Supervision offers a safe reflective space for the coach to explore anything that relates to the coach’s professional work to enhance the effectiveness of the coaching and maintenance of professional standards. It has proven to transform the quality of a coach’s work and client relationships, continuously helping the coach to improve themselves and their practice.
Supervision is often said to serve coaches, and ultimately coaching clients, through addressing three key areas: the normative, formative and restorative aspects of supervision (Hawkins and Smith, 2006).
The formative aspect of supervision refers to the development of the coach through acquiring new insights, skills and understanding of their practice, and the evolution of their coaching signature style.
The normative aspect of supervision refers to enabling coaches to successfully adopt best practices, raising quality standards in the profession and addressing ethical issues in coaching.
The restorative aspect of supervision refers to helping coaches remain resourceful while working with difficult or emotionally charged situations and working through feelings that relate to issues belonging to the coach rather than to their clients.
“Coaching supervision has no intention to go anywhere. On the contrary, it is about the coach coming home and turning on the lights again rather than bumping around in the dark.”- Sam Magill
This quote beautifully sums up what coaching supervision is all about. My role as your coaching supervisor is to create a safe space for you to reflect on your coaching practice, and support you in your growth and development.
