Develop your coaching
through a
learning partnership
Supervision for life/executive coaches and people professionals, agile coaches and agile professionals
Grow Personally and Professionally
You like to learn and coach others. Being a coach you have to deal with a web of relationships. You are busy dealing with clients. You want to grow and develop as a coach.
Who listens to you?
How do you get perspective on what you are doing?
What coaching supervision actually gives you
Great coaching isn’t just technique, it’s the quality of your presence, your discernment, and your capacity to stay with discomfort.
Supervision offers something that conferences, peer groups and reading can’t: a dedicated, non-judgemental, ethical space to look at your own work honestly.
We explore what’s happening in your sessions, yes. But also what’s happening in you, your patterns, your blindspots, the places where the work is pulling on something deeper. That’s where real growth lives.
1 / 3
I’ve lived a few lives and I bring all of them into the room.
A degree in AI. Fifteen years as a Buddhist monk. A transition back into the corporate world as leadership/executive, team and life coach. As well as being part time Head of Faculty for a boutique coaching company, looking after the well-being of 30 senior coaches, some dual qualified as therapist and supervisors. Over twenty years of deep practice in mindfulness, self-inquiry and human development.
That combination gives me a different perspective: I understand the messiness of real organisations, the intricacies of technical teams, and the depth of what it means to actually change not just adapt.
We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. Albert Einstein
I have been offering supervision, which I prefer to call a learning partnership, to a variety of facilitators, coaches and community leaders for nearly a decade.
I work 1 to 1, with coaching teams and groups of coaches. Most of my business has been remote and so I have the skills to do this online and enjoy working in person where possible ( I am English living in the Netherlands)
The PlayfulMonk approach to supervision
Explore
How you see your clients. What your relationship with them is actually doing. And where you, as a coach, are getting in your own way or finding your edge. how you contract with your clients/teams
Play
Build the kind of flexible, relaxed embodied intelligence that helps you stay present in complex, unpredictable situations without defaulting to your script. Increase your creativity, innovation and emotional intelligence
Love
Grow the courage to stay with what's hard in your clients and in yourself. Real compassion isn't soft; it's what makes depth possible.
Presence
Sharpen your ability to notice in the room, in your body, in the spaces between words. Presence is the skill AI can't replicate.
Connection
Look at how you communicate contract and show up and what's actually landing with the people you work with.
This is the PlayfulMonk approach explore, play, love, presence and connection
Use the learning partnership to reflect on your approach to improve self-awareness, trust, agility and reduce biases
