When was the last time you allowed yourself to look at a coaching case from a different perspective?

Not from the usual analysis.
Not from the quick search for a solution.
Not from the question: “What should I do now?”

But rather from an image, a metaphor, a drawing, a photograph, a poetic phrase, an inner impulse, or a question that has not yet taken clear shape.

In my experience, coaching supervision offers us precisely that: a space to pause, take a broader view, and regain perspective on our practice. We work with real cases, specific questions, ethical dilemmas, roadblocks, and coaching relationships that challenge us. But we also work on ourselves as coaches: our presence, our reactions, our blind spots, our energy, and our ability to sustain our work with quality and care.

Creativity plays a very special role in this process.

Sometimes, when we bring a case to supervision, we’ve already thought it through thoroughly. We’ve mulled over what happened, gone over the conversation with the client, and tried to understand what’s going on. And yet, something still isn’t clicking.

That's where a creative approach can open up new possibilities.

A drawing can reveal what we haven’t yet been able to put into words.
A photograph can reveal an underlying tension, possibility, or emotion.
A poem can connect with the most intuitive and profound part of our experience.
A metaphor can help us understand the broader system in which the client, the coach, and the relationship are embedded.

It’s not about “creating something beautiful” or being artists. It’s about accessing other forms of knowledge. It’s about allowing reflection to flow not only through the rational mind, but also through the imagination, the body, emotion, and intuition.

For me, this is one of the great benefits of creative supervision: it helps us uncover hidden biases, assumptions, latent emotions, and new perspectives on our practice. It allows us to broaden our perspective and, often, return to the client with greater clarity, a lighter touch, and greater inner freedom.

In the Creative Supervision groups that Louise Schubert and I facilitate, we combine structure, depth, and experimentation.

Each session centers on a theme that helps us engage in reflection. From there, each participant can share real-life cases from their professional practice. We explore these cases using the methodology of coaching supervision, various models of reflection, and creative techniques such as drawing, imagery, poetry, objects, metaphors, and other forms of inquiry.

At the end of each session, we suggest a creative team-building activity so that each coach can reflect on what they’ve learned—not only for their professional practice, but also for themselves.

Because supervision isn't just a space for improving what we do. It's also a space for reflecting on how we are being as we support others.

For those of us who work in coaching, mentoring, or other support-oriented professions, reflecting on our practice is not a luxury. It is a professional responsibility and also a form of self-care. We need spaces where we can exchange ideas, take a breather, look at things from different angles, and continue to grow with honesty.

That’s why Louise and I are launching a newonline Creative Supervision Group, designed for coaches who want to continue growing in their practice within a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment.

There will besix 2-hour sessions, co-facilitated byLouise Schubert and Nadia Peeters.
The first session will beon June 1, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The remaining dates will be agreed upon by all participants.

If you’d like to explore your coaching cases from new perspectives, learn from the group, broaden your horizons, and give yourself a space for creative reflection to support your professional and personal growth, we invite you to join us.
