Lifting The Lid - Episode 27 - My client has gone AWOL

Clare and Steve explore scenarios when our clients go missing and how this topic arises in the supervision space. They discuss the space we hold as coaches for our clients when they are not present for a longer than expected period. Space that might simply be logistical or might also be deeper in our psyche. Our podcasters reflect too on how often in supervision the supervisee appears to have given away their power, become smaller in the relationship and maybe has started to tell themselves a story about their ‘hard to pin down’ client. Clare and Steve discuss clients who disappear after chemistry, or after a few sessions, or before the final session or after the coaching even. They reflect on how this is another great space for the supervisee to explore their own thinking and patterns of being.

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
