Individual & Group Coaching & Mentoring Supervision programs
The Group Supervision program at Positivity Global Coaching is a dynamic and collective learning environment designed to support both professional and personal development for coaches. Through this initiative, coaches are invited to embark on a journey that not only enhances their technical abilities but also deepens their self-awareness and emotional intelligence. This program is more than just skill-building—it is an opportunity to expand one’s understanding of coaching from multiple perspectives, drawing on the wisdom and experience of fellow participants.
Structured in a way that encourages open dialogue and mutual reflection, the group supervision sessions create a safe, supportive space where coaches can share challenges, insights, and successes. The power of shared experiences allows participants to gain new insights into their practice, refine their methods, and receive feedback from both peers and seasoned supervisors.
As coaches engage in these group sessions, they benefit from real-time learning and collaborative problem-solving. This not only helps them to refine their techniques and strategies but also fosters a sense of belonging and professional community. By building strong connections with peers, coaches are empowered to deliver more impactful coaching sessions and experience personal transformation that enhances both their well-being and their clients’ success.
Ultimately, this program strengthens the coach’s capacity to lead transformational sessions, grounded in a deeper understanding of themselves and others, resulting in a ripple effect of growth for both the coach and the clients they serve.
Our Group Supervision Programme at Positivity Global Coaching is designed to foster professional growth among coaches through collaborative learning. Spanning several months, this program includes monthly sessions where participants engage in case studies, peer feedback, and reflective practices. Aimed at experienced coaches, the objective is to enhance coaching effectiveness, ethical understanding, and personal development, ensuring a comprehensive approach to improving coaching skills and client outcomes.
The benefits of participating in our Group Supervision Programme include enhanced self-awareness, improved coaching skills, a deeper understanding of coaching ethics, and a supportive community of peers. This enriches your professional practice and contributes significantly to your personal growth and client satisfaction.
In our Group Supervision Programme, coaches commit to 6 sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, scheduled every four to six weeks. These sessions are led by Master Coach Angelos Derlopas and conducted via Microsoft Teams. We maintain an intimate setting by limiting group sizes to 5 participants, fostering a conducive environment for personalized feedback and deeper learning. The value of the investment is €540.00 (+ VAT if applicable) per person.
Mentor coaching and supervision serve distinct yet complementary roles in the development of professional coaches, each with its own unique focus and approach.
Mentor coaching is primarily concerned with the enhancement of coaching skills. It focuses on helping coaches refine their techniques to align with the ICF Core Competencies. This process is heavily skill-oriented, with the mentor coach providing specific feedback on the coach’s performance. The goal is to ensure that the coach is proficient in the core skills necessary for effective coaching. As part of this process, mentor coaching also touches on the development of the coach’s style, particularly as it relates to the technical aspects of coaching. Ethical dilemmas, while not the main focus, are addressed by referring the coach to appropriate ethical resources. Reflective practice and systemic considerations play a minimal role here, as the emphasis remains on immediate skill development. While mentor coaching offers some degree of emotional support, it is largely seen as a requirement for credentialing, especially for those seeking ICF certification at various levels.
In contrast, supervision takes a broader, more holistic approach, focusing on the personal development of the coach. It encourages coaches to reflect deeply on their own experiences, biases, and emotional responses, and how these impact their coaching practice. Supervision is not just about skill enhancement; it delves into the coach’s personal growth and self-awareness, helping them understand how their inner world influences their coaching relationships. Unlike mentor coaching, supervision frequently addresses ethical dilemmas directly, providing a safe space for coaches to explore and resolve these issues. The practice also has a strong systemic focus, considering the broader context in which coaching occurs, including organizational and relational dynamics. Reflective practice is a key component of supervision, allowing coaches to gain deeper insights into their practice. Emotional support is a fundamental part of supervision, recognizing the challenges coaches face and helping them process these effectively. While not always a formal requirement for individual credentialing, supervision is becoming increasingly recognized, especially in the context of team coaching.
In essence, while mentor coaching is more about “doing” and focuses on the technical refinement of coaching skills, supervision is about “being” and centers on the overall development of the coach as a person, including their ethical, emotional, and systemic awareness. Together, these practices support coaches in becoming not only more competent in their skills but also more reflective and self-aware professionals.
