Video 2: Taking supervision into the great outdoors

Our second conversation is about taking groups of coaches out of the office, or out of the rooms where we normally talk, and into the great outdoors (or into public places such as museums or galleries). I’ve been supervising groups in this way as part of my practice for the past year. Edna and I discuss what I’ve learned, and the quality of work that comes from it.

In the video, Edna responds to Alison's observations with a wonderful insight: ‘There’s almost a relief of being able to let go of the literal, of the models, of our usual, habitual terrain. Anything to do with the imagination and with metaphor, with the whole metaphysical way of looking at ourselves in our work, somehow just gives us so much more scope, and seems so much more rich.’

Video 3: Developing better ways of working

In this third conversation, we share our thoughts about developing a way of working, and a way of being with your client, that is different, deeper and more exploratory, and thus more developmental both for you as a coach and for your client as a leader.

We also talk about what coaching supervision is, how it can be powerful for the life and practice of coaching, and how it can be joyous, ‘because a conversation about learning is joyous’. In the video, Edna observes that in supervision, ‘we’re really grounding and slowing people down, inviting them into a process that’s waiting to happen, and giving them time to think about what is happening’.

Coaching Today: From A Vintage to A Contemporary Practice.

A thirty year-old car is no longer fit for purpose as a means of transportation, even if we effectively call it vintage. Isn't it possible, asks Claire, that coaching itself needs to go through a reformation to create practices and approaches fit for the way we work today? The supervision challenge is to help coaches turn a vintage practice into a contemporary one.

Join Claire as she reflects on 30 years of coaching. These powerful insights from an original thinker will challenge you to acquire top-level personal and professional skills, fit for 21st century coaching.

The Challenges facing coaches who are working with Remote and Culturally Diverse Clients & Teams.

In this video, Jackie Arnold provides many tools, tips and resources for leaders who struggle with transitioning from their role as leader to their role as coach. She focuses on how leaders can create robust professional relationships particularly when differences in language skills and feelings of disconnection may be exaggerated by distance and by video-conferencing.

Clean Language enables leaders and coaches to work successfully with diverse groups where jargon, different world-views and the nuances of language all play a part in team and group functioning. Jackie shows how to use key Clean Language questions. Powerful tools such as working with images, with metaphor and with the Magic Box are explored in this very practical video.

Reflection and Reflective Practice: From Designer Luxury to the Essential Must Have.

This video shows how reflection is essential to free us as practitioners to become more creative, more courageous, more present, and more conscious as we work with our clients who are working on the frontline of today’s personal, ecological, technological, global, organisational and societal seismic shifts.

The video answers the "why bother?" question, as well as offering practical hints and tips about how we can all create the conditions to develop our own reflective practice to feed, nourish and sustain ourselves for the long haul. Elaine uses key findings from her original research, " Reflect to Create!"

Being Fit for Purpose.

The recurring theme that emerges with Alison’s clients in supervision is how demanding and challenging coaching can be for the coach, particularly those working in complex organisational systems.

So how does supervision support coaches to keep fit for purpose?

Based on the findings from her doctoral research, Alison offers a new model - The Three Pillars of Supervision - that contributes to this process: the supervision relationship, an understanding of adult learning theory and an appreciation of reflective practice. Once these pillars are established, the coach and supervisor engage in generative dialogue in which the coach is able to explore all aspects of their work that in turn enables them to flourish and grow.

Miriam Orriss has supervised using the TA lens, for many years; her take on TA is original and powerful. In this video, she shares some of her most important insights. Here, you will gain a unique understanding of Transactional Analysis – and of the Karpman Drama Triangle (KDT) in particular.

Miriam uses the KDT to mirror and amplify the client’s picture of their world and to show unconscious factors at play in the boardroom - and beyond! In this video, Miriam highlights new information about overcoming script decisions, and supplies the missing link that enables coaches and leaders to unravel repeated patterns of behaviour that block successful professional and business outcomes.
