Are you supervision curious?

Readers of this newsletter will be well aware that I believe in coaching supervision as the best way to maintain an appropriate ethical attitude, and to take care of your ongoing coaching development and your own and your clients’ well-being. You are probably also aware that I believe as a profession we need to do more to encourage coaches to engage in coaching supervision. This extends to the professional bodies and to training providers.

Last year, I volunteered to be part of a small project team at EMCC UK to design and pilot a programme of supervision taster/experience sessions.

We ran three sessions each month for three months with up to four volunteer coaches attending 60-minute group supervision sessions. Each session was facilitated by a member of the project team, all of whom are EMCC Global ESIA accredited supervisors. The feedback from the pilot was extremely positive.

As a result, I am delighted to say EMCC UK has now launched a programme of supervision taster sessions, starting in February. For a nominal fee, EMCC UK members who are not in regular supervision already, can get a taste of supervision.? Sessions run monthly (3rd Thursday in the month), and there are three sessions on each supervision taster day – morning, lunchtime and afternoon – to suit your preference. I’m also very proud to announce I am volunteering my services as one of the supervisors for the live programme.

Bookings can be made one month in advance and February’s sessions are already BOOKED UP, even though the booking page only launched on Sunday! This will be popular.

Engaging in supervision is a hugely rewarding experience, and this is an opportunity to get a taste. So, if you are curious about supervision, head over to the information page Supervision taster sessions - EMCC Website, bookmark the booking page A taste of supervision –?book your session! - News - EMCC Website and set a reminder for early February to book in for March.
