Coaching and mentoring supervision is a rapidly expanding field. This book is a curated collection of contemporary thinking; presenting cutting-edge contributions from international writers, leaders in the professional field, academics and practitioners who offer a range of accessible applied research, practice examples, case studies, guidelines and reflective prompts to readers. As in art galleries, some pieces require reflection – and return visits may be necessary. The work is edgy and new, and yet totally grounded in the coaching and mentoring supervisor experience, bringing pragmatic solutions to current complex challenges.
Over the last decade coaching supervision has moved from a rare and privileged audience to being common place amongst ‘best practice’ coaches. This book harnesses the current surge in curiosity, knowledge and practice in coaching and mentoring supervision and provides a collective statement of our times. Each chapter, in its highly individual way, equips us to face the demands of the VUCA environment. In turn, the book resources coaching and mentoring supervisors to support their supervisees – coaches and mentors who work with leaders, grappling with global, community and personal challenges, in this uncertain, fast moving world. Supervision for mentors is developing alongside coaching supervision and at present there appears to be no obvious distinctions with little current research focussing on the mentoring supervision experience. However, its distinctive identity is still forming. We invite mentors, and mentor supervisors, as they read these works, to consider the emerging similarities and differences in addressing requirements for mentoring supervision.
The book brings together pioneering research and practice and as such will remain current for many years. This book will be popular with experienced professionals who want to stretch and deepen their practice, keep up-to-date with current studies, challenge and catalyse their own thinking, and embrace learning from real-world practitioner examples and applied research.
"Coaching Supervision challenges us to reflect on the journey of professional supervision and what's required to navigate the pathway ahead. This new landscape incorporates cultural sensitivities, research and artificial intelligence and incorporates foundational footholds of ethics, models and relational ways of working. This book will both extend and embed vital knowledge." - Tammy Turner, Founder, The Centre for Coaching Development and Supervision, ICF Master Certified Coach, MAICD, CSA and AAOS, Australia
"The contributor list of this book reads like a compendium of current thought-leadership in coaching supervision. I am delighted to see writers (and maybe more importantly practising coaches and supervisors) from different psychological fields and backgrounds joining a rich exploration and explanation of the range of purposes and strengths of supervisory work in the C21st." - Jenny Bird, Executive Coach. Coaching Supervisor, BA (Hons) Oxford, ICF Master Coach, UK
"It's good for a profession's world to be jostled at its outer edges from time to time. It challenges us to examine whether we have begun to hold a "flat world" view of what we do and how much we might have invested in who we have become, as opposed to who we might become. There will be at least one chapter in this book that will jostle pleasantly and at least one whose jostle might not be so welcome. Both reactions are grist for the mill for supervisors." - Patricia (Pat) Marum, Certified Coach Supervisor, ICF Assessor, ICF Mentor Coach, Southern Arizona ICF Past President, USA
"This book is a profound exploration of the growing field of coach supervision. Each chapter and contributor draws our attention to the nuances of the supervision experience; provoking the reader to consider fresh perspectives while broadening and deepening the landscape of this essential practice. A true contribution to the field and a must read for the serious coach practitioner and coach supervisor." - Pam McLean, Ph.D., CEO Hudson Institute of Coaching, Author, Self as Coach, Self as Leader, USA.
