Nadia Peeters: Coach Supervision. Coaching for coaches

COACH SUPERVISION

We coaches also need to take care of ourselves

Coach Supervision is a support system that respects both the professionalism and humanity of the coach, and builds on both aspects to create a space for empowerment, self-discovery and development.

Despite working with people every day, the coach's professional life can sometimes be a bit lonely. The responsibility of accompanying the coachee in the process of change and sustaining the emotional process involved requires a significant amount of self-management. In addition, the need to maintain a high degree of client satisfaction can be an additional burden.

As the "beings of encounter" that we are, people need others in order to grow. The same coaching relationship we build with the client is an example of this. Coaches also need an accompaniment, a moment of encounter with another, in order to continue our own growth process.

I have a very complex case that is influenced by multiple factors, such as organizational factors.

SUPERVISION IS NOT COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT

A supervision process does not question the competence of the coach. We assume that as a professional coach you are competent in your work and that your clients make progress toward the goals they set for themselves by working with you. But this does not mean that we don't get stuck from time to time.

SUPERVISION IS NOT COACH MENTORING

Mentoring focuses on giving feedback on the coach's skills, based on the observation of actual sessions, in order to improve his or her technical competence. Supervision works with the process or dynamic that exists between the supervised coach, his client and other elements that influence their relationship.

SUPERVISION IS NOT THERAPY FOR THE COACH

Although looking at the coach is a fundamental part of the supervision work, it is not the only perspective that is explored, and when it is, it is always within the framework of a coaching process that the supervised coach wishes to explore, for the benefit of his or her client.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidentiality is one of the pillars of the work of the coach and also of the supervisor. The supervisory setting is the only one where the coach can speak openly about specific instances of his or her professional practice. It is therefore good practice for a coach to inform all clients that he/she is doing professional development work with a supervisor, which will help him/her to be more effective. This demonstrates a responsible attitude and continuous improvement in their profession, and builds trust. At the same time, it is your obligation to protect the confidentiality of your clients, also in supervision. The way to do this is that the supervisor, or the other participants in the case of group supervision, should not know your client. The supervisor in turn must respect the principle of confidentiality of what arises during supervision sessions.

COACH SUPERVISION

More and more companies are requiring their external coaches to have supervision, and coach certification bodies are also recognizing and promoting this as a source of continuous development.

Coach supervision is an extended relationship, with periodic individual or group sessions that allow the coach to bring in cases that have arisen during the month, explore them to grow in awareness and take away new ideas to enhance their intervention. A good working frequency is one hour of supervision for every 15 hours of coaching.
