Supervision and Mentoring for Coaches
Professional coaches need to sustain their skill level and to take care of themselves.
Mentor Coaching is a way to help coaches to further develop their coaching skills, within the framework of ICF Core Competencies. Those sessions are also useful to get or renew an ICF coaching credential.
Coaching Supervision is a form of reflective practice accompanied by a certified Supervisor. It is safe space for coaches to reflect on their practice. It’s a powerful way to know your strengths as a coach and activate them.
Both modalities are possible in individual sessions and in group sessions.
