What is Supervision? What do you want to ask yourself about your coaching?

Hi

I just ran a short informational call about "What is Coaching Supervision". On the call I promised to share some of the questions that it is useful to reflect on a coach as you consider your coaching practice.

It's useful to know first the definition of What is Coaching Supervision?

"The process by which a coach / mentor/ consultant with the help of a supervisor, who is not working directly with the client, who can attend to understanding better both the client system and themselves as part of the client-coach/mentor system and transform their work"

·         Do you review or reflect on what you do as a coach (both strengths and areas of opportunity)?

·         How do you do this?

·         How often?

·         Do you review by client or do you also look at what themes may happen across your clients and how you work with them?

·         What actions do you take as a result of your reflection?

·         Where do you take issues / questions about your work as a coach?

·         How safe do you feel as a coach?

·         What support networks do you have in place?

·         Where do you want to go as a coach?

·         What kind of coach would you say you are?  Is this the kind of coach you would like to be?
