Lifting The Lid - Episode 11 - The one with the cairn of coloured stones
Clare and Steve explore the difference between coaching and supervision. Whilst there are many similarities in terms of approach, Clare and Steve discuss some of the similarities and differences when it comes to the relationship, the expertise, the learning and the content of the discussions using a metaphor around a cairn of stones. They talk about the supervisory role to uphold coaching standards, about teaching and assurance in supervision and why it’s not policing. They also talk about the development of reflexive practice as an ongoing focus of supervision and about depth and vulnerability as it might show up in supervision versus coaching. They conclude exploring why maybe the industry hasn’t served coaches well in understanding how to be an effective supervisee.References to - Anna Sheather - Art in coaching - https://www.artincoaching.co.uk/Louise Sheppard’s work on how to be a supervisee - 'How coaching supervisees help and hinder their supervision' (2017).
