The issue: You have been hired to coach a team within an organisational setting. The manager of the team is the sponsor of the coaching. The manager will not be taking part in team coaching sessions.

Grow the Coach exists to provide an affordable blend of online individual and group supervision for coaches at all stages of their development.

You are probably also aware that I believe as a profession we need to do more to encourage coaches to engage in coaching supervision. This extends to the professional bodies and to training providers.
