Reflective Practice and Supervision for Coaches

Skilled craftspeople look after their tools and seek out new and improved versions. The tools for coaches are the coaches themselves - hence we need to pay attention to maintenance and to developing more advanced models of ourselves. Reflecting on our practice and getting professional support to develop our super-vision are powerful ways of ensuring we sort out any problems and continue to improve. This book will take you through a series of theoretical frameworks, illustrated with practical examples and translated into structured activities, that will provide you with models for analysing what you do. You will be guided through the processes of reflection - alone, with colleagues and with a formal supervisor - and will be encouraged to go ahead and 'expose' your weaknesses and gain the significant growth that follows.
