As we serve in the role of a thought partner or facilitator, in what way can the silence support supervision? Can the silence also result in unintended consequences? While we can agree that supervision is a reflective space, we can also agree on the myriad circumstances within that reflection. Join Reginald Jackson in exploring the silent spaces between the supervision conversation and what can emerge not only IN the silence but BECAUSE of the silence. This session is meant to be engaging and interactive, sourcing the knowledge and experience of the collective. Be prepared for a rich discussion.

You will leave this session with new attitudes toward listening, more targeted language to describe it, and experiments to try in your own coaching practice.
