Solution Focused Coaching Supervision: An Essential Guide for Individual, Group, Peer and Team Coaching Supervision
About this ebook
The book offers an in depth understanding of the theory of Solution Focused Supervision, which as a social-constructionist approach, privileges the coaching supervision clients’ experience, resources and preferred future over an “analytic” or deficit-oriented stance. It also provides a step-by-step “how-to” for individual, group, peer and team coaching supervision. Coaching supervision ethics is discussed in theory and via real case examples. Deliberate and reflective practice models will enable readers to develop their practice wherever their starting point may be. The reader will also find transcripts of actual coaching supervision sessions to bring the theory to life.
An essential and comprehensive resource that will enable beginner coaching supervisors to start practising this highly respectful and ethical approach to coaching supervision, while also inspiring more advanced coaching supervisors to use this simple and effective approach to coaching supervision.
