Coaching Group Super-Vision Opportunity with MCC Coach Paulette Rao
What is Coaching Super-Vision?
The European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC) defines coaching Super-Vision as: "The interaction that occurs when a coach brings their coaching work experiences to a supervisor in order to be supported and to engage in reflective dialogue and collaborative learning for the development and benefit of the coach, their clients, and their organizations."
Super-vision is a trusting, respectful place whereby the coach feels safe enough to reveal and reflect on their doubts, feelings, and issues about their practice for the purpose of self-development. It explores where the personal may be intruding on the professiona. It is an opportunity to explore issues, challenges, feelings, successes, insights, ethics, and boundaries. It explores where the personal may be intruding on the professional.
Reflecting on who we are, how we feel and think, identifying inherited assumptions, biases, and beliefs, raises awareness and allows for us to explore alternative and more powerful ways forward. It is an integral part of coach (and human) development.

If "who you are, is how you coach….", the tool most worth sharpening is you. (Pam Mc Lean)
What is the Purpose of Super-Vision?
Super-Vision catalyzes the growth and effectiveness of the coach, client, and stakeholders. It raises awareness, expands capacity, sharpens skills, and provides a supportive environment to process complex feelings. It will challenge and disrupt existing perspectives, beliefs, assumptions, and paradigms that may not serve you. This exploration makes available alternate perspectives that promote opportunities for experimentation and growth.
What is the Role of a Supervisor?
The super-visor has three main functions: Normative, Formative, and Restorative.
In the normative function the supervisor helps ensure that your coaching is ethical. If issues are unearthed, the supervisor will walk you through an ethical decision-making process.
The formative function provides space for learning and skill enhancement, be it
sharing a tool, enhancing your ability to demonstrate competency or embody their identity and presence more fully.
The restorative function provides a safe place to process complex feelings and receive emotional support for what can be challenging work. It serves the well-being of the coach by providing an opportunity to recalibrate.
How is Super-Vision Different from Mentoring or Coaching?
Coaching helps clients achieve their goals through a process of inquiry focused on raising self-awareness and action-learning.
Mentor Coaching helps coaches enhance their ability to demonstrate the ICF Core Competencies and the behavioral markers of effective and ethical coaching.
Super-Vision is a safe space for a coach to reflect on their thinking, behavior, and the systems at play. It increases the capacity of the coach by creating awareness of new ways of being, seeing, thinking, and doing.
