#177 Who is coaching supervision for?
Great coaches tend to engage with supervision. The benefits of supervision are sometimes lost on novice coaches. With coaching experience comes the realisation that supervision is an important aspect of ongoing development. As your coaching relationships grow, your appreciation of supervision will grow. Reflective practice becomes a regular practice. As you gain proficiency and start helping your clients systemically transform their personal and/or organisational lives, supervision becomes vital.
Regardless of what you might have been told, there is no regulatory requirement to engage in supervision. nor should there be, imho! Yes, it is valued by all the coaching professional bodies; however, when did any coach ever get barred from practising by not having a supervisor? (Answer: Never!)
And yet, 80%+ professional coaches in the UK choose to engage with some sort of supervision. Why? Because it is an opportunity to externalise your reflective practice with a fellow coaching professional. Better still, one who is experienced and qualified in coaching supervision, who will encourage and enable your reflective practice.
As a coaching supervisor, I work with coaches from all over the country – life coaches, Health & Wellbeing coaches, leadership and executive coaches, student coaches, and newly qualified coaches – who are broadening and deepening their coaching skills and growing and professionalising their practice. Some are training to be coaches, some are recently qualified, some are mid-career, and some are very highly experienced. With the support of professional supervision, we are all working on getting out of our own way and becoming the coaches we always imagined we would be.
