Through my own travels in the coaching and consulting landscape I integrated supervision on a systematic basis. It gave me more 'courage' and made me integrate my 'honesty' and stimulated me to move beyond the theme of 'shame' within organisations and individual coachees. Also the constant longing to offer coaching matching high professional standards and self-care were 2 importants reasons to plan supervision on a regular basis.
Supervision created a deep sense of not having to carry the responsibility of 'coaching', 'advising' or my personal doubts alone. It also kept and keeps bringing a deeper and more integrated coaching presence to my own clients. So yes, I have a supervisor too.
What can I offer you in supervision?
Why plan supervision as a coach/consultant?
It is a professional must-do for coaches and consultants who want to keep high professional standards, as a direct way to cover your own professional growth and to assure quality to your coachees and clients.
The goal is to maintain adequate standards of the coaching profession / consultancy business, thus also to protect and ensure the best interests of the coachees and clients. The ultimate goal of supervision is to help the coachee/clients in a more effective way.
My profile: I am a supervisor since 2018 and graduated in 2023 at Tavistock with a Certificate in Supervision for Coaching & Consultancy, based on the Tavistock Models of systems and groups psychodynamics, organisational theories including complexity theory, theories of identity and difference, and Gestalt psychotherapy practice.
