Free webinar: Essentials of Supervision: Part 1

This series of four one-hour webinars sets out the basics of supervision for coaches who have little or no experience of using supervision as part of their practice. This is webinar 1: What is supervision?
 

About the series

The webinar series is facilitated by Professor Bob Thomson of Warwick Business School. Please note that the series is about receiving supervision, rather than being a training programme for supervisors. 

Each webinar contains ideas and models explained via PowerPoint slides, questions and exercises to invite participants to reflect upon ideas and upon their practice, and an interview with a coach who has had little experience of supervision.

To get the most out of this series we encourage you to attend all 4 webinars.

Here are all the webinars in the series:

Webinar 1: What is supervision?
Webinar 2: Reflecting on practice
Webinar 3: The relationship between coach and supervisor
Webinar 4: The practicalities of finding and working with a supervisor

Webinar 1:  What is supervision?

This webinar will explore a number of definitions of supervision, looking at what is common and what is different in them. It will go on to consider three different functions of supervision: the developmental function is about developing skills and competence; the resourcing function is about processing the emotions and issues that arise for the coach through their work with clients; and the qualitative function is about ensuring that the coach’s work is appropriate and ethical.

The webinar will also set out the seven-eyed supervision model; this looks at the coach, the client and the supervisor from seven perspectives. It is a widely used framework to guide a supervision conversation. The webinar will contain an exercise called silent supervision in which participants write down their answers to a series of questions that go through the seven eyes of the model to help them explore (in complete confidence) their work with one coaching client.

The webinar will include an online interview with a coach who has limited experience of supervision in which they share their responses to a number of questions about their views of supervision.
