Group Coaching Supervision
“Supervision as a synonym for care; the care we show for our practice and profession, for our clients (and for theirs), and for ourselves.”
Liam Moore, Coaching Perspectives Magazine (April 2024, Issue 41)
Virtual Coaching Supervision Groups
for Experienced/Established Coaches
6 X 90-MINUTE SESSIONS, SCHEDULED EVERY 6 WEEKS (MAX GROUP SIZE 6)
Participation in a virtual supervision group with continuity of membership. The key benefits of an ongoing group are the sense of community and belonging, creating a space where you feel safe to explore [just about] anything, delve deep and create new awareness in your practice.
To ensure commitment to the group, payment is upfront for 6 sessions and if you miss one (because that’s bound to happen to everyone in the group!), you can convert the missed session it to a one-to-one coaching supervision session with me.
Cost: AU$750+GST (or 3 payments of x $250+GST).
I supervise experienced/established professional coaches & new coaches. If you are a new coach, or someone with infrequent coaching practice, a drop-in group may be more suitable (see details below).
Drop-in Virtual Coaching Supervision Groups
for New Coaches <100 hours, or infrequent practice
90-MINUTE SESSION, OFFERED EVERY 6-8 WEEKS (MIN SIZE 3/MAX SIZE 6)
This “drop-in” format works particularly well for newer coaches who want to access group supervision on a “needs” basis, or 1-hour of supervision for every 15 hours of coaching practice (as recommended by the Association for Coaching).
The group will have a different composition each time (max 6 coaches) and scheduled sessions will go ahead when there are a minimum of 3 people registered.
Cost: AU$125+GST per session.
“You bring a very curious and warm approach to the space, it feels safe to explore without judgement and you ensure equal voice and involvement from everyone. There is flow and ease while at the same time taking in and becoming aware of so much richness of learning
[Margaret, 2023].”
How do drop-in sessions work?
A 90-minute virtual group coaching supervision session is offered every month between February to November. Sessions will normally be held between 1.30-3pm Sydney/Melbourne time (1-2.30pm ACDT) on a Monday.
In each session we will focus on several issues/cases brought by members of the group – ideally the people bringing the issue/case will rotate between sessions.
The group creates a sense of community and belonging where you can expect sharing, exploration and normalisation of issues faced in coaching.
How big is the group?
There are a maximum of 6 places available in the group.
Scheduled sessions will go ahead when a minimum of 3 people register.
How do I register/pay?
When a place is available (there are a maximum of 6 places available), you can use the online booking link and register to attend a ‘Drop-in’ Group Coaching Supervision Session. By registering, you secure your place in the session.
After you register, I will send you a Supervision Intake Form and Supervision Agreement to sign and return.
You will be invoiced after the session. The cost for each 90-minute virtual group supervision session is AUD $125+gst.
Please note: the full fee will apply to cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled date/time.
What issues can I bring to a group supervision session?
The issues you bring to supervision might include challenging coaching clients, ethical dilemmas, questions about best practice, managing key stakeholders in the coaching engagement – anything that will help you to be the best coach you can be!
How do I prepare for group supervision?
Supervision is a reflective practice and your reflections should begin before the supervision session. One suggestion is to keep a journal and list topics you might like to raise in supervision sessions.
Several days before each group session you will receive a reminder email and this is a prompt to think about the topic/s that are top of mind for you.
At the beginning of the session I will ask everyone to give a quick summary of the issue they are bringing into the session. Sometimes a few participants may indicate they do not wish to bring a topic to that session – on these occasions you will still engage in reflective practice and you are encouraged to record your insights and think about how you will apply this new learning in your coaching practice.
How often should I participate in supervision?
The Association for Coaching require that:
- new coaches participate in 1 hour of supervision for every 15 hours of coaching practice, and
- experienced coaches participate in 1 hours of supervision for every 30 hours of coaching practice.
The ICF does not currently require credentialed coaches to participate in regular supervision, but they allow up to 10 hours of Coaching Supervision to count toward the 40 hours of Continuing Coach Education (CCE) required for credential renewal.
One-to-One Coaching Supervision
One-to-one coaching supervision allows the time and space for deeper exploration of the issue/dilemma you bring into the supervision session. You can read about one-to-one coaching supervision or if you want to know more please contact me at coaching@julielines.com.au or book a Supervision Taster.
