What is Coaching Supervision?

Coaching Supervision is defined as a collaborative learning practice to continually build the capacity of the coach through supervised reflective dialogue, for the benefit of both coaches and clients. The process involves a partnership between the coach and supervisor to ensure the coach’s effectiveness, ethical integrity, and continuous improvement.

In essence, coaching supervision is vital for ongoing professional development, enabling coaches to deliver impactful and ethical coaching.

Benefits of Coaching Supervision

Coaching supervision provides crucial support for solo practitioners, offering a space to share experiences and gain insights. It aids in navigating ethical dilemmas, fostering ethical maturity, and resolving complex challenges. Moreover, it helps identify areas for improvement, enhancing client outcomes. Overall, supervision elevates self-awareness, self-efficacy, and self-regulation, which are essential for effective coaching.

Supervision requirements for coach accreditation

Major coaching accrediting bodies — ICF (International Coaching Federation), AC (Association for Coaching), and EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council) — either mandate or recommend supervision as part of the accreditation process. They also specify supervision frequency relative to the number of coaching hours completed.
