Coaching Supervision is a collaborative learning environment where coaches can reflect on their practice, develop their skills, and gain support. It can involve a more experienced coach acting as a supervisor, or a group of coaches working together.

Coaching supervision can help coaches:

  • Improve their practice: By reflecting on their work, viewing situations from different perspectives, and gaining reassurance that they're making the right choices

  • Build their capacity: Through reflective dialogue that offers support and development opportunities

  • Understand themselves and their clients: By sharing their successes and failures, and learning from each other

Our highly trained coaches serve as our Veterans transition partners.
