Coaching Supervision |
On the International Coaching Federation (ICF) website, coaching supervision is described as a reflective learning process where a coach discusses their coaching work with an experienced supervisor in order to grow professionally and improve the quality of their coaching.
Coaching supervision = a structured conversation where a coach reflects on their coaching practice with a trained supervisor. |
This is especially helpful for ICF credential candidates as they reflect on their coaching skills and prepare to submit a recorded conversation for their Performance Evaluation. Through reflective dialogue, the supervisor helps the coach examine what is happening in their coaching relationships and how to grow from these insights.
- A coach may bring topics such as:
- Challenging coaching situations or client cases
- Ethical questions or boundary issues
- Personal reactions to clients
- Blind spots in their coaching
- Questions about presence, approach, or impact
- Issues or challenges faced on their ICF credential journey
- How coaching supervision differs from mentor coaching
- Mentor coaching: focuses on improving coaching skills and competencies for credentialing.
- Coaching supervision: focuses more broadly on the coach’s self-awareness, ethics, and overall practice.
