Team Coach Supervision

Team coaches come face to face with the group dynamics of the teams they coach as well as those of the organisation. Rather than seeing these dynamics as getting in the way of progress, team coach supervision offers the opportunity to see what emerges in the group as a glimpse into what is happening in the wider system.

Bring to mind the analogy of a rock thrown into a pond; by looking closely at the ripples, one can understand much about the rock that was thrown, its size, direction, speed and even shape. In much the same way, team coach supervision supports coaches to understand matters which underly the team’s behaviours and resolve them. Working in this way brings progress not only to the team’s stated goals, but also to the organisation as a whole.

How it Works

By having a confidential and supportive space to discuss issues arising in team coaching, practitioners can become resourced and resilient, thinking through their challenges clearly and effectively.

Reflection and learning are integral to coach supervision. Supervision for team coaches affords insight into the effectiveness of coaching interventions, strategies, and techniques, and offers a wider scope of options where appropriate.

Coach supervision goes beyond professional development, by supporting personal growth. Coaches gain confidence, self-awareness, understanding both their strengths and areas for further development.

Supervision is particularly valuable in managing the complexity and dynamics inherent in team coaching. Coaches can seek guidance on team dynamics, power dynamics, conflicts, or resistance within the team. Supervision provides insights, strategies, and tools to help coaches navigate these complexities effectively.

My Supervision Experience

I have a PCC with ICF, EMCC EIA Senior Practitioner and ESIA, and Diplomas in Coaching and Coach Supervision.

As a professional I have worked in high performance teams in my career as a military aviator from 1996 to 2014. As a coach supervisor since 2015 I have worked with over 200 coaches and 40 supervision groups in their professional development and reflection on cases.

What My Clients Say

To learn more about my approach, read my client experiences below.

I left each group supervision session with Alex being expanded by his role modelling coaching supervision. My horizons were broadened by the individual learning and edge work of participant coaches, by the collective group learning and the sense of community that developed. A warm smile crosses my face, as I recall the clarity of intention and skill with which Alex fostered the coaching supervision environment by using creative structure. He is skilled at applying both supervision and Transactional Analysis theory to help coaches grow in their practice, in themselves as well as areas of vulnerability. I experienced Alex as grounded in his coaching supervision approach and resourceful in sharing knowledge, tools, observations and reading material for growth.

Alex is beyond amazing when it comes to really connecting to the core motivation and challenges I have experienced as a coach. I respect his professionalism and keeping me aligned with ICF core competencies. He goes deep, but carries the conversation with empathy and genuine motivation in helping me find my strengths and desire to continually grow and find what style and methods work for me. Alex has been one of the most significant influences in my coaching journey with SACAP and I appreciate the work he has done to help me maximize my abilities, and compassion to understand the human side of the trials and successes in personal and professional development.

Alex has been my supervisor since my business coaching internship in 2018. I have taken many varied and different things into supervision with Alex, from referrals to incorporating assessments into my coaching practice, to conflicts of interest, and even team coaching with a co-coach. I find Alex to be extremely knowledgeable, especially when it comes to Transactional Analysis (TA), the "7-eyed model of supervision" and other theory he draws from in the moment. Everything I've brought into supervision, we have looked at through the lens of one of these frameworks, and every time I've come away with more insight and awareness of what I am responsible for in these coaching relationship systems. A supervision session feels challenging, insightful and highly rewarding, as long as you work for it and are willing to be honest with yourself in terms of thoughts, feelings, judgments and decisions.

I found my supervision interaction with Alex very useful. Through incisive questions and focussed listening, he helped me gain valuable insights into myself as coach.

Alex has been supervising me for quite a long time, during which he has become an integral and highly valued contributor to my continuous learning and development. Despite the considerable distance between South Africa and Switzerland, I chose Alex as my supervisor because of his remarkably solid academic foundation, strong coaching experience and his straight forward, friendly and results-oriented approach. Coaching supervision is so much more than a tick-box compliance exercise and I cherish my sessions with Alex as opportunities to reflect, challenge my assumptions and design actionable outcomes. I recommend Alex to any professional coach looking for a top-tier, committed and highly competent supervisor.

Alex is an insightful and supportive supervisor. I’ve very much enjoyed working with him as he gently asks thought provoking questions to help me reflect on my coaching practice. Alex adds value to enhance coaching mastery!

I grew in a number of ways through working with Alex as my coaching supervisor. His gently challenging attention kept me focused when I digressed. He is a master of asking questions that nudge (and sometime necessarily push) one forward and I learned a lot from listening to him question fellow coaches in the supervision group as well as from the results I derived from his questioning me. His approach of supervising in groups increased the scope and depth of learning. His broad theoretical knowledge expanded my coaching repertoire and his careful attention to detail and the bigger picture contributed significantly to my unfolding professional development.

Alex has been a consummate professional in his Supervision of my Coach learning journey whilst completing my SACAP Post Grad Diploma in Coaching Internship. Alex provided me with relevant and informative reflection, and oversight of my coaching as practice. He attentively focused on: 1) my growth & development as a coach - enhancing my competence as a practitioner; 2) carefully supported and nurtured my role of coach as a person - deepening my confidence and self-belief of who I am as a coach; and 3) skilfully displayed what it means to be a professional coach - providing me a lived experience of integrity and collaboration in the way in which he supported our reflective dialogue. It has been an absolute privilege partnering and collaborating with Alex!

I place great value on the contribution that the supervision work I do with Alex has made (and continues to make) to my coaching practice. His gently rigorous way of being has helped me negotiate tricky coaching challenges, develop practices that take care of myself and supported me to clarify the sort of coach I wish to be. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
