What Is Supervision?
This research has been guided by the 2018 EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council) definition of supervision which states:
“Supervision is the interaction that occurs when a mentor or coach brings their coaching or mentoring work experiences to a supervisor in order to be supported and to engage in reflective dialogue and collaborative learning for the development and benefit of the mentor or coach, their clients and their organisations.”
Team Purpose
The research team is hopeful that this study will contribute to a better understanding of the coaching supervision field, and perceptions by coaches who receive supervision. At the time of this study’s publication, there are several other supervision research projects underway which will continue to enhance our understanding of coaching supervision.
On a personal note, this research and study have been a passion project by the research team, who believe in the importance and value of coaching supervision, to both coaches and the coaching field. We believe there is tremendous opportunity in the future for more coaches to learn about, experience, and benefit from coaching supervision.
As mentioned, the research team expects to continue to further analyze the data, write articles, and present at coaching conferences.
Please feel free to contact any member of the research team if you have questions or comments. Our contact information is provided on page 44 of the report. Alternatively, you may send an email with your questions or comments to info@coachingsupervisionresearch.org.
