Coaching and Supervision

External supervision can provide valuable support to leaders by offering an objective perspective and constructive feedback. External supervision helps the client reflect regularly and deeply on both their work and their work relationships. This in turn helps the client create for themselves a more supportive, caring and positive working environment. An environment where they can learn to be the best version of themselves they can be.

With twenty plus years of leadership in both education and the not for profit I am well equipped to provide a space for the client to regularly reflect on their performance and relationships in their place of work.

By receiving regular external supervision, clients can feel more confident and empowered both personally and in their work, leading to both improved job satisfaction and better outcomes for the individuals they lead and serve.

Coaching is a relationship that helps people to learn how to achieve their goals. Coaching ensures accountability and support for managing issues, reaching goals and sustaining growth. Coaching guru John Whitmore (2009) denotes coaching as ‘unlocking people’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them learn rather than teaching them.’ 

Using the GROW acronym (GOAL / REALITY / OPTIONS / WILL) I will work with the client to develop iSMART goals (Inspiring / Specific / Measurable / Achievable / Results driven / Time bound) for both personal and work relatied achievement. 

Using the Goal Stem ‘By (date) I will (what you wish to achieve) so that (benefit to self)’ I will encourage the client to set realistic targets that both spell out the benefit to themselves and set a deadline as to when they want to achieve the goal in mind.

Through the use of coaching skills honed over forty years of teaching and leading and by asking powerful questions I will encourage the client to strive to be the best version of themselves they can be.
