How to Get the Most Value from Supervision – or Mess It Up

Join us for the ICF Coaching Supervision Community of Practice webinar, How to Get the Most Value from Supervision – or Mess It Up, where you’ll explore seven key skills for being a supervisee and gain insights into how you can maximize the value you receive from Coaching Supervision.

Who Is This For?

• Emerging coaches who want to get better in their coaching practice.
• Seasoned coaches who struggle with clients, the larger systems in which the client works, and ethical dilemmas that are created in those systems.
• Supervisors and mentors who want to help their coaches/supervisees prepare better for learning and growth through supervision.

What You Will Learn:

• What “stance” the coach (supervisee) can take to really benefit from supervision.
• What the coach (supervisee) can do to best prepare for insights and actions arising out of supervision.
• Learn the perspectives of supervisors and supervisees who have fully engaged in the process.
• Seven key skills to embrace and apply to enhance your practice and work as a coach.

Course Details:

In this dynamic and interactive webinar, you will hear from experienced supervisors and supervisees who will share the challenges and delights of truly engaging in the supervision space openly.

Participants will be invited into a space of open-mindedness and active participation, as the session explores how coaches can get the most from supervision, not just as a requirement, but as a transformative part of their development. Learn Seven Traits of a Good Supervisee, as articulated by Michael Carroll and Maria Gilbert. Learning with your colleagues in a breakout session, you will identify the traits that come easily and are more challenging for you personally. Explore how these traits can meaningfully enhance your ability to reflect in supervision, and how the absence of these traits can derail your ability to grow and learn well.

Coaches and supervisors will share real, unpolished stories from their supervision journeys in a candid panel conversation. Leen Lambrecht, co-leader of this Community of Practice, and one of her supervises, will share challenges they’ve encountered and offer personal insights on how supervision can become most effective. We will also invite webinar attendees to share their insights and experiences. Participants will leave with a handout explaining the Seven Traits and some reflection questions.
