‘SUPER-VISION'
Des is one of the pioneers in the development and delivery of Executive Coaching.
After 24 years of senior level one to one coaching, some of the best coaches in the business asked Des to work with them in Supervision, and he has trained with the best: Peter Hawkins and Gil Swenk, of Bath Consultancy Group.
As your Executive Coach Supervisor, Des effectively uses the powerful 7 eyed model, which gets into the coaching and organisational issues as well as ensuring that the relationship between the coach and coachee stays clean and strong.
‘I agree with Peter here, and see ‘super-vision’, as a way in which the coach, with help from the process, sees deeper into the whole set of issues facing the coachee and client organisation.’
Supervision is relatively new to Executive Coaching, and up until recently, most supervisors have come from the helping professions; psychotherapy and counselling. But we now need Supervisors who understand the organisational context and the commercial world. With the introduction of the training in this area, coaches can now get this support and on-going professional development from people like Des who have all the relevant experience in this arena.
‘In working with senior coaches, I can add dimensions to their supervision that most of the earlier supervisors couldn’t. Often, the supervisor didn’t have the business experience and international perspective to draw on, and thus concentrated upon the coach-coachee relationship. There is so much more to it.’
In using his experience, the latest training and brilliant processes, Des can turn good supervision into great on-going professional development.
