This session is ideal for practicing coaches, both qualified and in training, who are keen to grow, develop and provide an enhanced service to their clients.

Peer
Supervision Session April 2013 - Review
Peer Supervision is performed within a group of peers - there is no 'senior' person - to solicit help from respected, experienced coaches to assist with problems arising during coaching practice.
This session was held at the home of Dr Jonathan Haverkampf (http://uk.linkedin.com/in/cjhaver) who facilitated the session. As facilitator, he invited discussion topics, kept the discussion on track, managed time and gave everyone a voice. As a peer he avoided giving an authoritative verdict on each issue.
Discussion 1: How do you feel about running a coaching session over Skype?
Discussion 2: When is it right to terminate a Client? How do you terminate? It is important to identify the appropriate professional discipline for the client/occasion.
Discussion 3: What do you do with a Client who has no goal? Should you force them to have a goal?
Discussion 4: How do you ensure that a client adopts a strong goal?
Discussion 5: What should you do if you become aware that a client is suicidal? Should the ground rules in this situation be declared up front (as part of the coaching agreement)? Is it appropriate to coach a client who is very depressed?
The next CCG peer supervision session will be held at 6:30pm on Thursday 9th May at the home of Jonathan Haverkampf. No charge – just bring some ‘nibbles’.
6:30pm Thursday 21st March 2013 - INTERVISION Session - Review
Introduction
Jacqui Campbell, founder of the Chelsea Coaching Group, introduced Dr Jonathan Haverkampf who facilitated the session.
Intervision Process
Supervision is often used by coaches to solicit help from a senior, respected, experienced expert to assist them with problems arising during their coaching practice. Jonathan explained that Intervision is similar to supervision, but it is performed among peers - there is no 'senior' person. The concept of a discussion within a group of peers without a range of seniority was alien to some of the coaches. Any coaching-related topic would be permitted and each member of the Group was going to be group members and ‘supervisors’ in the session.
As facilitator, Jonathan would is required to gatekeep the issues to be discussed, keep the discussion on track, manage time and allow everyone a voice. As a peer he would not giving an authoritative verdict on each issue.
Discussion
Issue 1:
My client does not stay with one goal and rapidly changes topic during a session. It's frustrating.
Discussion:
We need to be careful of trying to control our clients.
We need to be careful about imposing our own expectations on our clients.
We need to frequently check in with the client for confirmation that they are benefiting from the sessions.
Issue 2:
Should I take notes during a session?
Discussion:
Notes help me prepare for the next session and concentrate during a session.
It is the client's responsibility to take notes.
If the client knows that I take notes, they make think that absolves them of their responsibility to take ownership of the outcome.
Process Review - Learning Opportunities
1. Rather than 'Intervision' it would be clearer to use the term 'peer supervision'.
2. Coaches found that by expressing the problem to the Group it took them a long way to solving the problem even before they heard their peers’ comments.
3. It should be agreed at the start who has issues to raise and how many were are likely to discuss and how it will be decided when to move to the next issue. One approach is to ask the Group at the start what our expectations are. It was suggested that a token (eg. a shell) to indicate that the discussion is moving on to the next topic.
4. It was agreed that the session was useful to coaches and should be run monthly, in parallel with the CCG workshop programme.
6:30 Thursday 21st February 2013, New Horizon Centre: Speaker: Clare Foster-Gilbert, Director of Westminster Abbey Institute and founder of the Ethics Institute.Claire created a reflective and relaxed environment as our coaches listened attentively to her interpretation of The Hero's Journey', by Joseph Campbell. Claire showed how the Journey can manifest itself at different points of our lives through 10 key steps, from the 'ordinary world' of doing what we normally do through to the 'darkness' stage when we are filled with apprehension and fear as we step out of our comfort zone. Although 'claiming the prize' is the final step, the Journey does not end there as we have more life challenges to encounter and overcome. She stressed that we all have our unique stories to tell. Using film clips to illustrate how different stages of the Journey may unfold, it became apparent how we could apply the messages from the Journey to inspire our coaching clients. This was an engaging and informative workshop which generated a high level of interest and discussion. For further information on the Hero's journey read Joseph Campbell's book or join our debate on LinkedIn. Claire Foster is the Executive Director of a new charity, the Ethics Academy (www.ethicsacademy.org.uk), which teaches personal development combined with ethics, using the story of the hero’s journey. She has her own consultancies The Ethical Dimension (www.ethicaldimension.org), and The Environmental Dimension, working with schools, the public and businesses etc. Claire’s background is in theology, moral philosophy and environmental and medical ethics. She has published numerous articles and edited and written several books, including The ethics of Medical Research on Humans (Cambridge University Press, 2001) and more recently Hero’s Journal (Ethics Academy, 2010). Claire is also on the ethics committee that advises Prime Minister David Cameron. During this workshop Claire will take participants through the stages of the hero's journey as they have been developed by the Ethics Academy for programmes in schools and with adults. This will be an exceptionally informative evening with a highly respected and qualified speaker. Claire has single handedly instigated this programme in many schools throughout the UK and is a remarkable woman. |  |
