Lifting the Lid on Coaching Supervision

By: Clare Norman & Steve Ridgley
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • Lifting The Lid - Episode 120 - Are we losing the truth? - The one where we ask where the truth has gone and what happens if we seek it?
    May 21 2024
    Prompted by Steve asking 'Are we losing the truth?' Our podcasters notice how our relationship to the truth is being pulled in multiple directions - be it government, social media, mainstream media - we are, it seems, simultaneously hunting for the truth, but also easily persuaded into believing anything is the truth. Clare and Steve take this hypothesis into the coaching and supervision space and ask what happens if we as the coach or supervisor chase the truth? We explore what it might mean to 'lean out' to see more and to 'bathe in the not knowing'.

  • Lifting The Lid - Episode 119 - Ethics in coaching - The one with shades of grey
    Apr 16 2024
    Today Clare and Steve explore the topic of ethics - please don't switch off! Our podcasters challenge the notion that ethics are clear and that there is an answer as to what is right or wrong when we coach.

    We explore how ethics and moral codes are inter-connected, and how what might be the right or wrong way forward in an ethical dilemma might be more a function of your personal moral code, your client's, the relationship and the contextual situation than it is anything else. It certainly may not be as simple as your supervisor's view, what the coaching bodies say, what your training taught you or a chapter in a book.

    There are many shades of grey - we couldn't comment on how many !

  • Lifting The Lid - Episode 118 - The one with the existential question and guest Yannick Jacob
    Mar 19 2024
    Steve and Clare have a wide-ranging conversation with Yannick Jacob about the question “Who are you?” Why is this important? Because who you are is how you coach. And being your authentic self is how you differentiate yourself from the other coaches in the marketplace; and how you make connections (or not) with potential clients. We talk about the role of supervision in supporting this exploration, the role of reflective practice and the role of our initial training. You can connect with Yannick via his:
    • Website for coaches: www.RocketSupervision.com
    • Coaching Lab: www.GoCoachingLab.com
    • Coaching website: www.existential.coach

    Yannick Jacob is a coach, trainer and supervisor with a master's degree in existential coaching and applied positive psychology. He is part of the teaching faculties at Cambridge University and the International Centre for Coaching Supervision, and he’s the course director of the School of Positive Transformation’s Accredited Certificate in Integrative Coaching, for which he gathered many of the world’s most influential coaches and earliest pioneers.

    Formerly programme leader of the MSc Coaching Psychology at the University of East London, Yannick now presents at conferences internationally and his book, An Introduction to Existential Coaching, was published by Routledge. Committed to helping other coaches be the best coaches they can be, Yannick founded and hosts Yannick’s Coaching Lab which gives novice and seasoned coaches an opportunity to witness experienced coaches live in action, and he is the host of Animas Centre for Coaching's popular podcast Coaching Uncaged, as well as his own podcasts Talking about Coaching and Talking about Coaching and Psychedelics.
