Coaching Supervision FAQ’s

How often is it best to have coaching supervision?

The 2006 CIPD report recommended at least every 2 months or in the ratio of 1:35 of supervision to coaching

What is the difference between mentoring and coaching supervision?

I love this definition put together by Edna Murdoch and Fiona Adamson at The Coaching Supervision Academy

Mentoring: A mentor is someone who has been there before, works with practice building and development, shows the way, and offers tools and skills.

Coaching Supervision: magnifies, amplifies the place where the coach and the client meet (relational dynamics) so that coaching is much more effective, works with coach’s personal and skills development; on what is going on within the coach as they coach their clients (Coaching Presence), and also offers unique tools and maps. It also helps through clear contracting, to create clear boundaries for coaches working in organizations.
