Why are reflection and supervision important for coaches?How might increased self awareness improve competence?What kind of activities might a coach consider to develop their own reflective practices?

It explains how these developments can be made alone, with colleagues or with a supervisor, utilising a range of tried and tested frameworks.Starting with a section on the function of reflection and supervision in the coaching arena, the book moves on to discuss ways that the processes of reflection and supervision might be analyzed. Finally, the book addresses some specific models that coaches might like to try to improve their practice.The book assumes that the reader has no prior knowledge of the theories used and contains concise summaries of them as well as giving references to further reading for those who are interested.

Reflective Practice and Supervision for Coaches is a resource that can be used over time, with activities that can be repeated intermittently as needs arise.
