"The purpose of supervision is to ensure that the best interests of the Coachee and the Client are protected and to provide educative and restorative support to the coach" - Myles Downey

You might decide that one way to support a coaching culture in your organisation is to create a pool of coaching talent that provides professional coaching services to teams throughout the organisation.

Best practice organisations all adopt this approach. However, creating a pool is just the first step - There is then a conundrum about what you do with the coaches themselves to make sure they remain focused and objective and have appropriate support to stay up to date.

Coaching supervision is an important method for ensuring that coaches get the best support to help the organisation thrive.

What is coaching supervision?

Myles Downey's quote says it all. Put another way, coaching supervision is a formal process for coaches to discuss their coaching experiences with another coach who is also able to supervise. The role of supervisor is to see beyond what the coach sees themselves.

You want to ensure that your coaches are in the best possible place to support the organisation. Coaching supervision ensures

• The continuous development of the coaches
• Self-development and reflection opportunities for coaches
• Learning and self-monitoring of the coach

How does this fit with creating a coaching culture?

It's quite simple, when setting up your approach for a coaching culture you'll want to know that there are things in place to ensure consistency. Coaching supervision is one of these things that helps oil the wheels to a smooth ride into empowerment and high performance.
