The Reflective Coach: Group Supervision in Action

Session Description: Coaches grow fastest when reflection becomes a disciplined practice—not an occasional afterthought. In this highly interactive 90-minute learning lab, participants will experience group supervision as a practical method to strengthen coaching presence, ethical judgment, and professional confidence in real time. Participants will also become familiar with the supervision functions including: normative, restorative, developmental, resourcing, and benchmarking.

We’ll begin with a short, high-impact framing of what makes group supervision different from training, peer coaching, and mentoring—then present the Seven Eyed Model from P. Hawkins and R. Shohet to finally move into a small group experience facilitated by experienced group supervisors.

Participants will have the opportunity to experience group supervision, working with a real coaching dilemma (brought by participants or provided case), and using structured reflective inquiry to surface blind spots, cultural assumptions, and systemic factors influencing the coaching work.
Participants will leave with a clear understanding of what group coaching is and how it works.
