Lifting The Lid - Episode 132 - Wrappers around our work - The one with the sweeties

Coaching is more than just the session itself.  It’s also about the wrap-arounds that create the container – and as is often the case, Steve and Clare find a metaphor that’s useful to their own understanding, that of a boiled sweet (the coaching or supervision itself) with a wrapper that has twisted ends. There are so many aspects to creating this wrapper – the contract being one, but also the work of the coaching custodian before coach and thinker even get to talk to each other, then there’s the preparatory work that we might ask the thinker to think through and the analysis afterwards.  And all of this applies to us when we go into supervision too.

Welcome to this monthly podcast in which Clare Norman and Steve Ridgley ‘lift the lid’ on coaching supervision.We are both experienced coaches and coach supervisors, passionate about the value that comes from supervision. We will share our experiences, knowledge, wisdom and insight as we set out in this podcast series to explore what supervision is, what it isn’t, what it’s like, how you might show up, what you might bring and how to get the most out of supervision.We will share stories on this journey. Sometimes our personal stories, both as a coach and as a supervisor, but also examples of what coaches have brought to some of our supervision sessions.It’s basically just Clare and Steve having a chat, swapping anecdotes and lifting the lid on key questions that might exist for coaches who are yet to explore supervision or who don’t feel they get value from being in supervision. Questions such as…How is supervision different to coaching?Group supervision, mentor coaching, 1-2-1, peer supervision - which do I choose?What should I take to supervision?Am I resourced enough to coach?Can I talk about my business with my supervisor?Am I in a rut as a coach?How do I move my client forward?Am I leading my client?Is the goal everything?… and much much more.Join us on our monthly exploration of coaching supervision as we set out to tell some truths and lift the lid on supervision.You can reach us directly at:Clare Norman - clare@clarenormancoachingassociates.comSteve Ridgley - steve@idcoach.co.ukIf you would like to know more, or for us to explore a specific topic, send us your question.This podcast is supported by:The Trusted Coach Directory www.trustedcoachdirectory.comThe Association of Coaching Supervisors https://www.associationofcoachingsupervisors.com/supervisors/searchand McGraw Hill Publishinghttps://www.mheducation.co.uk/mentor-coaching-a-practical-guide-9780335248797-emea-group
