CIPD recommend that coaches receive one hour coaching supervision for every 35 hours coaching.
If you are an external coach, all we ask is that you pay us the same hourly rate for your coaching supervision as you charge your clients.
If you have attended Coaching for Excellence, free ongoing group supervision by telephone or face to face is included as part of your initial training. Please call us if you'd like to explore individual supervision as well.
Please note that if you are going for the PCC or ACC credentials with the ICF, you will need TEN hours mentor coaching. It may well be that a good pace for you is an hour a month. Therefore you will need to start almost a year before you intend to go for your credential.
We have a limited number of coaching supervision spaces. Pick up the phone now and call us on 0845 458 0154 to ask the questions which are on your mind about your own professional development as a coach - whether you are just starting out or very experienced. Face to face and telephone coaching supervision is available.
Face to face coaching supervision is available in Leeds (Liz), London (Claire, Lynn), Letchworth (Claire, Jane, Lynn) and Milton Keynes (Jane, Lynn).
'First of all a thank you for what I felt was an excellent session last Thursday morning. I just wanted to share this 'success' with you. On Tuesday morning this week I had my next client and I put myself 'in the passenger seat' as we'd talked about. I think I spoke for maybe 5 minutes altogether in the whole hour. I made no notes at all (and I usually take quite a few) and I could remember much more of the conversation than I have in the past. It was obvious to me as the session progressed that in letting the client 'do the driving' I was listening and engaging with her at a different, much deeper level and wasn't being distracted by e.g. thinking about what to note down, what I should say next, what the outcome of the session would be for me. I'm sure there's much more which will become more obvious as I reflect on it.'

I find this impossible to read, but since I have decided to use it as a reference book, I find myself dipping in constantly.
