One of the requirements for the Advanced Certification in Team Coaching is coaching supervision. You’ll need 5 or 10 hours, depending on your pathway.
The Team Coaching Global Alliance is launching a network of supervisors. The first options are available starting in March 2023.
Supervision is notoriously tricky to explain to people that haven’t experienced it. Here are some of the expert definitions:
Hawkins and Smith (2013) place the functions of supervision into these three broad areas:
- Developmental – developing the skills, understanding, and abilities of supervisees; understanding the client better, being aware of our own reactions and responses; looking at interventions and exploring other ways of working.
- Resourcing – responding to the effect of the client’s emotions; listening, supporting, and challenging.
- Qualitative – providing the quality control function; this could include gaps in training, blind spots, and vulnerabilities; ensuring our work is professional and ethical.
“One of the key tasks of supervision is to help individuals and groups look at their work from new and different perspectives. It is a process that involves looking at what we do and how with super-vision, new eyes, new perceptions, new visions, we can see things differently.”
