SUPER-vision for SUPER-coaching
The safest and most supportive space in which a coach can explore all aspects of their coaching practice, and more, is in supervision. As an internal or external coach, supervision is essential if you are to improve your coaching practice and the experience of your client.
But what exactly is supervision? When should a coach have supervision? How can a coach benefit from having supervision? What options are available for supervision? In this session Linda Grant will explore these questions and others you may have on the benefits of supervision and why supervision is key to making sure you and your practice are ‘fit for purpose’. Join Linda as she shows how supervision enables ‘satisfactory’ to become ‘superb’.

Coach Mentoring Ltd supports the charity Chameleon Buddies
If you enjoy the webinars you attend, we ask if you would be kind enough to make a small donation to Chameleon Buddies to support their work in Kenya.
Gill Castle first came to our attention in 2023 when she became the first person to swim the English Channel with a stoma. It took her 21 hours and was an absolutely amazing achievement! She set up Chameleon Buddies to promote social inclusion among people living with a stoma or childbirth injury. We are particularly keen to support her work in Kenya to provide stoma supplies to women who are unable to afford or access them.
