Coaching Supervision
The Association of Coaching (AC) defines the purpose of coaching supervision as “a formal and protected time for facilitating a coach’s in-depth reflection on their practice.” Some of the key principles of coaching supervision are:
A confidential framework. A collaborative trusting and collegial professional relationship.
A space in which the practice, tasks, process and challenges of the coaching work can be explored.
The primary aim being to enable the coach to gain in ethical competency, capability and capacity and to ensure best possible service to the coaching client, those whom they serve and the coaching sponsors.
Advance Coaching Supervision approach includes:
Protection & Accountability – Ensuring the client and the organisation and the wider stakeholders are being served ethically and to a high standard by the coach.
Coach Development - Supporting the coach in building their competency, capability and capacity so they can deliver well for client and organisation.
Coach Resilience - Building self-awareness of coach’s own vulnerability, patterns, emotional responses.
We offer individual and group coaching supervision for internal and external coaching teams.
