Coaching Supervision

ICF Global defines the space of Coaching Supervision as a collaborative learning practice designed to continuously build the coach’s capacity through reflective dialogue, for the benefit of both the coach as a professional and their clients.

Coaching Supervision focuses on developing the coach’s capacity, offering a richer and broader opportunity for support and growth by creating a safe environment in which the coach can share both successes and failures in the journey of mastering their work with clients.

EMCC Global defines Coaching Supervision as a reflective dialogue that supports the supervisee’s practice, development, and wellbeing.
