🌟Coaching Mentoring vs Coaching Supervision

🎥 In this Bitesize Knowledge video, Nick Bolton, founder of ICCS, dives into a key question: What’s the difference between coaching supervision and coaching mentoring? 🤔 🧭 Exploring Coaching Mentoring Nick starts by clarifying coaching mentoring: 1️⃣ Focus on Outcomes: Mentoring helps coaches meet external standards, such as credentialing requirements from bodies like the ICF or EMCC. 2️⃣ Short-Term Support: A mentor coach, as a more experienced professional, guides a less experienced coach to specific developmental milestones. 3️⃣ Tick-Box Success: The goal is to meet clear, measurable benchmarks. 🌟 Understanding Coaching Supervision Coaching supervision, by contrast, is an ongoing, reflective practice: 💡 Beyond Standards: It’s not about external criteria but about deep reflection on the coach’s practice and personal development. 🌍 The Bigger Landscape: Covers well-being, the coach-client relationship, and systemic considerations within professional norms. 🔄 Lifelong Journey: Supervision is a continuous process that evolves with the coach throughout their career. 💡 Key Takeaways Coaching mentoring = outcome-focused, short-term, and externally driven. Coaching supervision = reflective, ongoing, and holistic. 🎯 For Coaches at All Levels Whether you're looking to get accredited or deepen your professional practice, understanding these distinctions is vital. 💬 Got questions?
