Virtual
Supervision Groups for Internal Coaches
If you are an internal coach, by definition you will be coaching in the organisation that employs you. This has many advantages for your coaching but also presents some unique challenges.
In particular, regardless of your coaching skill, experience or qualifications, you will be encountering and managing a myriad of ethical issues. These include navigating appropriately your confidentiality requirements, complex relationships, appropriate boundary setting and potential conflicts of interest.
What you can expect in Julie’s Coaching Supervision Groups
My Supervision Groups for internal coaches provide a virtual space where you can step away from your workday busy-ness, take a broader view of your coaching practice, uncover any blind spots, and reveal what you’re unable to see in your own work.
In a 60-minute session with a group of up to 6 participants, I will use different models of supervision to examine the case/topic/issue brought to the session by you/your fellow participants. Ideally, all participants will share issues over the course of the agreed supervision sessions.
In Supervision Groups you are supported in your own development to:
- Explore the case/topic/issue you need support with ‘in the moment’.
- Debrief and become grounded again.
- Explore assumptions and consider different perspectives.
- Consider questions of ethics and address ethical dilemmas.
- Draw out your wisdom and creativity and generate new insights.
- Make meaning from experiences.
- Develop awareness of self.
- Find a safe space to admit error, be challenged and held accountable.
- Understand your impact within the networks you influence.
- Regulate stress and anxiety and look after your own wellbeing.
- Enhance your understanding of core coaching competencies and use different coaching tools.
- Uphold your professionalism and be more impactful in your coaching practice.

Why is supervision necessary and how often should coaches participate in it?
Coaching Supervision is a vital service for the ongoing development and skill enhancement of coaches, resulting in the raising of coaching standards across the profession. It is a specialised activity provided by a qualified practitioner and is increasingly regarded as a key success factor to practice effectively as a professional coach. Supervision can be delivered either to individual coaches or to groups of coaches.
As an internal coach, in addition to supporting you to manage the ethical challenges outlined above, supervision will therefore support your ongoing learning and the quality control in your coaching.
There are varying guidelines on how often you should participate in supervision. Your level of coaching experience and volume of coaching work may be relevant factors for determining the frequency of being supervised. The reputable Association for Coaching recommends that overall coaches should have 1 hour of coaching supervision for every 15 hours of coaching practice. Very experienced coaches find coaching supervision invaluable as do new coaches navigating their early coaching challenges.
