Have you ever felt like you’re going it solo in your coaching practice? Like you want to check with someone that what you just did with a client was the right thing and served them best?
Are you newly graduated and a little confused how to get your practice thriving, lead clients into excellent, service-based programs that transform their life and results with authenticity, in a way that feels right and true for you?
Coach Supervision is where a coach (“the supervisee”) engages a supervision-specialised coach (“the supervisor”) to support the supervisee’s overall development as a coach and their coaching practice.
Coaching Supervision is the interaction that occurs when a coach periodically brings his or her coaching work experiences to a coaching supervisor in order to engage in reflective dialogue and collaborative learning.
Many coaches find their grand ideas for supporting people become smaller, or give up coaching altogether, because they don’t know if they’re really any good at it, or get distracted by other endeavours as they don’t have a professional structure in place, complete with peers, that helps them brainstorm, improve and keep serving, with excellence, enthusiasm and genuine interest in their field.
In business, we have business mentors. In coaching, we have coaching supervision.
Supervision is literally that – super-vision – having a birds eye view of what you’re doing in your coaching for your health and wellbeing, and your clients’ best experience.
Imagine you are being coached by a coach, and things are going ok. Then you find out that they don’t do CPD, have a coach or mentor of their own, and you wonder how they deal with challenges or get their support, keep growing and developing, since they have themselves sold you a support system. How might you feel? What might you be wondering? Perhaps your trust or level of enthusiasm may drop a little, as you thought they were committed to excellence, on the cutting edge and full of integrity.
