Any decent Coach should have a Supervisor in order to help them continue to develop their skills and support them, and so serve their clients better.
The reason why I like Super Vision rather Supervision is because it literally offers coaches a space to reflect and put the headlights on those blind spots that we all suffer from. I believe the need for supervision is fundamental: the more we coach, the more likely we are to come across situations we need to bounce off someone else.
Following the Supervision Training Programme I completed with the Coaching Supervision Academy my own coaching improved dramatically, particularly in the psychologically minded area.
There is much talk at the moment about Coaching and how it should be regulated. A key part of control of coaching standards is Supervision. For Blue Chip companies that use coaching regularly one of their main pre-requisites is Supervision. But I believe it is even more important to develop ourselves as Coaches in our own right rather than because of regulation.

I’ve found Neil’s coaching super-vision style insightful and perceptive. After some initial skepticism about the need for super-vision, I now consider it a vital part of the coaching toolkit, in terms of keeping fresh and aware in my coaching practice. Julie Hall, Templetree Consulting
