Are you looking for a new coaching supervisor? Do you want to share your developmental journey with like-minded coaches? Do you want to slow down and take time to reflect in a beautiful location?
Then read on…
I am Clare Norman, a Professional Certified Coach with the ICF, and a certified Coach Supervisor. I am about to start a new 6 month group supervision programme in Beaulieu, in the middle of the New Forest.
Imagine coming to this pretty village for half a day to deepen your reflections on your coaching; and then to spend an hour or two walking in the forest, reconnecting with nature, continuing your reflection with others or alone. Wouldn’t that be a great way to invest a day?
If you’ve never experienced coaching supervision, or group supervision before, let me explain:
“The purpose of supervision is learning that leads to the continuous development of the conscious competence of the supervisee and the supervisor and to a higher level of practice. At its core, supervision implies an accountability to learning – that of the supervisor and supervisee – that may extend to that of the systems of which they are a part.” Cochrane and Newton
My role is to help you to take a “super-vision” of your own coaching practice, and what you are doing to help your coachees. It attends to the blind, deaf and dumb spots that you may not be fully aware of.
There are three main elements to supervision:
- Qualitative – supporting you to coach in ways that are courageous, skilful and ethical, asking “is this the best you could be doing?”
- Developmental – developing your coaching through feedback, guidance, role modelling, and helping you to self-supervise through reflective practice.
- Resourcing – supporting you when doubts and insecurities arise, and providing you with a space to process what you have absorbed from your coachee or their system.
The group supervision approach gives each of the 5 participants air time, to bring their own coaching clients for consideration; so you learn from your own case, as well as those of the other coaches in the room. You are not alone in your fears and hopes for coaching; you’ll see that when you share and learn with your peers
Is this peaking your interest? If so, reply in the comments box and we can connect to talk further. We would meet once every 6 weeks, for 3 hours, and the cost is £150 per person for each session, with an expectation that you will sign up for 4 sessions to keep the group in-tact.
If this isn’t for you, but you know of other coaches who this might appeal to, please pass this on.
