What can Coaching Supervision bring to professional coaches?
As a professional coach and a trained coach supervisor, I aim to shine a light on a fundamental practice in our field - #coachingsupervision. Let's explore its essence without the technical jargon, aligning with the definitions provided by the EMCC Global and International Coaching Federation.
🔸 Developmental Dialogue: EMCC underscores supervision as a developmental dialogue between the coach and supervisor, fostering self-awareness, ethical competence, and the integration of diverse viewpoints. It goes beyond mere oversight, nurturing the coach's holistic development.

🔸Guided Exploration: Through structured conversations and inquiry, supervision encourages coaches to delve deeply into their work, revealing blind spots and uncovering hidden potentials. It promotes a culture of curiosity and continual improvement in line with the ICF and EMCC Core Competencies Code of Ethics.
🔸Ethical Compass: Adhering to ethical standards is essential in coaching! Supervision acts as a compass, offering guidance and accountability when facing complex ethical dilemmas. It reinforces adherence to professional standards and fosters a culture of ethical awareness and responsibility.
🔸Nurturing Well-being: Coaching can be emotionally demanding, requiring a supportive framework for well-being. Supervision provides a nurturing space for self-care, building resilience, and personal growth. It recognizes the interplay between the coach's well-being and professional practice, aligning with sustainable coaching principles.
In essence, coaching supervision goes beyond simple supervision (based on the outdated and more negative interpretation), it embodies a deep dedication to excellence, ethical behavior, and personal growth. Let's continue to enhance our coaching practice through the transformative influence of supervision ✨
