  • Summary

  • Welcome to this monthly podcast in which Clare Norman and Steve Ridgley ‘lift the lid’ on coaching supervision.

    We are both experienced coaches and coach supervisors, passionate about the value that comes from supervision. We will share our experiences, knowledge, wisdom and insight as we set out in this podcast series to explore what supervision is, what it isn’t, what it’s like, how you might show up, what you might bring and how to get the most out of supervision.

    We will share stories on this journey. Sometimes our personal stories, both as a coach and as a supervisor, but also examples of what coaches have brought to some of our supervision sessions.

    It’s basically just Clare and Steve having a chat, swapping anecdotes and lifting the lid on key questions that might exist for coaches who are yet to explore supervision or who don’t feel they get value from being in supervision. Questions such as…

    How is supervision different to coaching?
    Group supervision, mentor coaching, 1-2-1, peer supervision - which do I choose?
    What should I take to supervision?
    Am I resourced enough to coach?
    Can I talk about my business with my supervisor?
    Am I in a rut as a coach?
    How do I move my client forward?
    Am I leading my client?
    Is the goal everything?

    … and much much more.

    Join us on our monthly exploration of coaching supervision as we set out to tell some truths and lift the lid on supervision.

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 130 - Mental Health Expertise - The one with the moment of self doubt
    Mar 18 2025
    Clare and Steve explore what we as coaches might be expected to know, or do, when starting work with a client who has a diagnosed mental health condition.

    Even without clinical knowledge, is it possible to contract and move forward in a coaching relationship? How can supervision support you? What if your client has said nothing, but you have a suspicion that there might be a mental health condition present?

    If you yourself have a diagnosable mental health condition as a coach, what might you expect from a supervisor?

    In this episode, Clare and Steve are joined by Ginny Baillie who has much to say about associate work whether that is via a coaching platform or through an associate coaching company.

    We talk about the need for thinkers to have awareness, willingness and responsibility for the coaching to make an impact, and how current models of associate work may not be setting thinkers up for success against these criteria.

    Relationship building is top of Ginny’s top tips for associate work.

    She mentions two useful books:

    The Prosperous Coach https://amzn.eu/d/070wFzOs

    and

    The Journey of a Prosperous Coach https://amzn.eu/d/06r7fxFq

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 128 - Three way contract - The one where the rider is chocolate
    Jan 21 2025
    In today’s episode, Steve and Clare ask the question ‘who is the customer’ when the organisation is paying for coaching. The discussion meanders (as always) through
    • the coach’s obligations in the three-way contract
    • the data (source unknown) suggests that 91% of clients change what they want from coaching part-way through the coaching
    • going with the flow
    • the coach understanding the leadership development strategy of the organisation by way of context for the coaching
    • the coaching custodian’s role in all of this. A term coined by Clare and Sam Humphrey in Clare's new book, Cultivating Coachability
    • the influence that the coach can have on said coaching custodians, once the coach has figured out their own guiding principles
    Enjoy dear listeners!
