Solution Focused Coaching Supervision

"Social Focused Coaching Supervision offers the opportunity for supervisors to further extend their practice through a social constructionist, collaborative, Solution Focused approach to coaching supervision. Skilfully written, practically focussed and insightful, Dierolf and her colleagues offer the reader both an opportunity to deepen their understanding and apply this evidenced based approach to their practice.”

-Professor Jonathan Passmore, Henley Business School, UK

"Solution Focused Coaching Supervision provides a unique perspective on coaching supervision grounded in a social constructionist paradigm which has much to offer coaching practice. The book is practical, informative and beneficial for supervisors, coaches and educators.”

"This is a welcome addition to the literature on Coaching Supervision . It’s a great resource that will enable coaches and supervisors to find the best support for themselves and to explore different approaches that will add to their knowledge and CPD. It offers a detailed description of Solution Focused Coaching Supervision for both individuals and groups. It includes case studies to bring the subject to life. This book will help to raise the global profile of Supervision.”

-Carol Whitaker, Oxford Brookes University, UK.

"Even a quick mention of the word “supervision” anywhere in the coaching world gets a strong reaction. Some coaches love supervision. Some coaches see it as a box to check on the way to a credential. And still other coaches find supervision to be something they're just trying out. Bottom line from my experience: Coaches who are committed to supervision demonstrate that they are serious about their craft and their professional development.

What Kirsten Dierolf and colleagues have done in this work is keep the focus on supporting coaches by leveraging the supervision process. Whether it's exploring a change model, client growth, supervision strategy or the ethics of coaching supervision, this book will sharpen your supervision skills and by extension, your coaching.”

-Jonathan Reitz, MCC, ACTC, Case Western Reserve University

"This book about coaching supervision from a social constructionist/ Solution Focused perspective is an instant classic. Whether you are a professional supervisor or starting to become engaged with others, this book gives you a myriad ways to take an open and enabling stance to supervise ethically, encouragingly and professionally.”

-Dr Mark McKergow, Author of The Next Generation of Solution Focused Practice

"As readers journey through this book, they can look out for a golden thread weaving through each element of the authors’ supervision practice – the solution focused approach. This clear methodological perspective provides an internally consistent reference point for decision-making, ethics and best practice. A distinct addition to the developing field of coaching supervision”
