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.

The 3 Core Purposes of Coaching Supervision

These help us understand both the role and the purpose of this professional space:

The Formative FunctionAddresses the quality of the coach’s skills and effectiveness.
  • The quality of professional competencies
  • The quality of the coach-client relationship
  • Management of the partnership relationship
  • The quality of the coaching agreement/contract
  • Professional development objectives

… and much more

The Normative FunctionCrucial for maintaining quality in coaching by addressing standards, ethics, and codes of practice.
  • Reporting of discriminatory or illegal behavior
  • The coach is told something that raises concerns for the client’s or organization’s needs
  • Blurred boundaries between coach, client, and sponsor
  • Coach working outside contract or competence

… and much more

The Restorative FunctionFocuses on the coach’s emotional wellbeing, processing emotional impact and challenges faced during coaching.
  • Losing a client due to death
  • Facing multiple rejections from potential clients
  • Frustration from lack of progress

In a healthy coaching practice, the recommendation is to access Coaching Supervision whenever needed, and to maintain a ratio of at least 1 supervision session for every 35 coaching sessions.
