Global Coaching Supervision Certification

Introduction

The Coaching Supervision Certification is targeted to experienced coaches with at least 500 hours of experience and a credential (preferred, not mandatory) from a coaching association: ICF, EMCC or AC. Participants will be trained as individual and group supervisors and by the end of the program, they will be eligible to apply for a credential with the European and Mentoring and Coaching Alliance (EMCC). This training program has received the ESQA, EMCC European Supervision Quality Award.

This program aligns its contents very closely to the competency model developed by EMCC and motivates graduates to apply for the EMCC Supervisory Credential as a way to strengthen the Coaching Supervision Practice Worldwide.

Core Principles and beliefs about Coaching Supervision

Coaching supervision is a reflective space and the coaching supervisor should demonstrate competencies at providing a safe environment for the coaches to work on themselves for their own benefit as well as for their clients.

The program follows EMCC core competencies model and supports coaching supervisors to develop skills to build a foundation for the coach/supervisor relationship, to navigate ethical dilemmas, to provide emotional support and to offer techniques, models, and theories to support coach´s work.

Coaching Supervision is a partnership and the supervisor may apply their creativity to provide learning opportunities for the coach, including the use of pictures, bodywork, magic box, metaphors, etc.

Coaching Supervisors may apply the 7-eyed Model of Hawkins and psychodynamic distinctions such as transference and countertransference in the work with coaches and be effective at intervening at the individual as well as group level.

Program objectives and learning outcomes

The objective of the program is to train coach supervisors to provide individual and group coaching supervision, following the EMCC coaching supervision competency model.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the program participants will be able to:
• understand the EMCC coaching supervision competency model
• understand the difference between coaching supervision, coaching and mentor coaching.
• effectively provide a reflective space for coaches about their practices,
• apply the seven eye model from Hawkins in their supervisory practice
• provide support to coaches working with strong emotions
• offer coaches opportunities to explore personal challenges in working with specific clients
• effectively provide guidance on ethical dilemmas to supervisees
• offer creative tools to supervisees such as working with pictures, magic box, bodywork, etc.

The program is very interactive and experiential with an emphasis on the application and reflective practice. After distinctions, models, and theories are presented, participants apply concepts in exercises and practices with their colleagues. Participants need to receive supervision as supervisees as part of the program, practice in triads with colleagues from the program and practice with supervisees outside the program.
