The Supervision Playground

Carissa Bub & Tanya McGinnity • March 25, 2025

Navigating complex times ...


Einstein once said, “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious.” He also believed deeply in the value of play — not as frivolous, but as a powerful way to explore, create, and understand the world around us.


In today’s world of relentless change, complexity, and uncertainty, even the most skilled coaches and supervisors need space to step back, reflect, and reconnect to what truly matters — in their practice, in their presence, and in their purpose. As practitioners who hold others through challenge and transition, we often carry much. The work we do is meaningful, and meaning doesn’t have to feel heavy. Through lightness and play, we can rediscover clarity, insight, and connection.


The Supervision Playground is co-founded by Tanya McGinnity and Carissa Bub.


Both life-long practitioners of personal transformation turned professional coaches and coaching supervisors. With years of experience in facilitating systemic change in high-stakes leadership environments, they bring a unique blend of adult development expertise and reflective and somatic skills to help grow cultures of wise and compassionate leadership.


Through structured reflection and dialogue, facilitated by Carissa and Tanya, you will gain a dedicated space to lightly and meaningfully engage in the ‘inner work’ essential for delivering life-giving impact to your clients and colleagues.
