Time to Think Coach Supervisor
Are you already a qualified Time To Think Coach and would like to become a Time to Think Coach Supervisor?
Are you currently supervising students as they complete their practicum and would like to refine how you run your supervision sessions?
On this professional development course you’ll learn the elegant, powerful 4-step Thinking Environment supervision process, adapted for individual, peer or group supervision.
“ The Course is exceptional and not to be missed. Sophie’s expertise as a teacher, her care for others and love of the Thinking Environment ensured this was a joyous and collegiate two days. The Practicum embedded the learning through one to one, group and peer supervision sessions as well as personal supervision with Sophie. The Time to Think Coaching supervision approach works well with all levels of coach and, exquisitely, ignites the Inner Supervisor.”
About the Time to Think Coach Supervision Course
To become exceptional coaches, who can truly support our client’s independent thinking, we need to have the time and space to really develop our capacity and capability as coach practitioners. Supervision is one place to do this.
Supervision is an opportunity for professionals to reflect on their practice.
To do this well they need to think well. And to think at their best they need another professional to listen to them and, by invitation, to offer insights.
When a Thinking Environment is the agreed framework of the supervision session, the supervisee has the best chance of producing the most valuable insights of all: their own.
A Thinking Environment also allows any needed input from the Supervisor to be brief and perfectly targeted.
Therefore, in a Thinking Environment the Supervisor’s primary job is to generate fresh and fine thinking from the Supervisee. (It is only their secondary job to offer their own thinking and only by agreement.)
“The essence of supervision in a Thinking Environment is to create a partnership for thinking well and to support getting to the core of what is most important for the supervisee. It is for the supervisee to develop expertise in thinking for themselves about their work - and all it’s facets - with their clients. It is about the supervisor generating new insights in the supervisee through giving Attention and Encouragement- and giving input when asked for, rather than imposing it...it is about helping the supervisee develop expertise in helping their clients to think for themselves.”
