Keep Coaching Supervision and CPD for internal coaches
A bespoke, efficient, value-for-money service, designed for organisational coaches to ensure maximum ROI on training investment.
Supervision for your pool of internal coaches, one to one supervision and inspiring CPD workshops. All delivered by Liz Dunphy and Diana Hare, both seasoned and qualified supervisors.
Why Keep Coaching Supervision?
Supervision is now widely recognised by professional coaching bodies as essential to maintain
- Coaching effectiveness
- Well-being
- Confidence
- Ethical standards
In fact, leading experts suggest lack of supervision can threaten the sustainability of your coaching pool. And we know internal coaches face specific challenges that deserve specialised support and attention. In fact a recent survey by Internal Coaching expert, Kathryn St John Brooks, found that internal coaches were asking for more support around these significant themes: Well- being and Resilience, Three-Way Contracting, Impact of Power and EDI (Including Neurodiversity).
That’s where we come in
Our group supervision and CPD workshops are designed specifically for the needs of internal coaches based on recent research, combined with our knowledge and real world insights.

The benefits of supervision for your internal coaches
Research (1) shows coaches working in organisations can really benefit from having an external supervisor. It found:
* They can be more open with someone outside the organisation
* Coaches noticed an immediate ripple effect from their supervision sessions to the organisation
* They developed their capacity to look at the bigger system – recognising some of unseen internal and external dynamics that affect their coaching practice
* Gained a better understanding of the influence of culture and power dynamics
* Felt they were better able to navigate multiple roles, hats, commitments, and expectations

Our approach supports both your coaches and your wider organisation
Supervision sessions are designed to address the particular challenges for internal coaches:
* Conflict between their own role and their role as coach
* Keeping focused on work objectives and within the boundaries of their capability
* Building experience, confidence and skills with fewer flying hours than full-time coaches
* Internal system dynamics
* Handling difficult emotional challenges faced by their coachees in the same organisation as themselves
* Reconnecting coaches with the power of reflective conversations
* Preventing isolation: confidentiality can make coaching lonely and burdening.
* Supervision helps coaches feel supported, and protects your organisation against unethical or unprofessional practice
As part of a group with Diana and Liz, your coaches will be supported to:
* Learn from each other
* Work sensitively with organisational themes
* Connect across departments
As external supervisors we can bring a fresh, non-biased perspective to support your coaches’ learning.
Your organisation gets a stronger, more confident coaching pool. No fuss — we provide you with a cost-effective solution designed to work for your organisation’s needs.
