Reflections on the Art of Being Human at Work.

Finding the Ways That Work Supervision is a protected conversation in which a coach brings the experience of working with a client to another trained practitioner. The client’s predicament is part of the inquiry. But, importantly, so are the coach’s reactions. The supervisor helps the coach ask: What’s happening here? What part of this is mine?
What Stays With Us What endings can teach us about ourselves, our clients, and the work that continues after we say goodbye.
Why Team Coaches Need to Study Themselves, Not Just Their Teams Supervision gives coaches a place to ask not only what’s happening with this team, but also what’s happening in me in the presence of this team?
Beyond Performance: Developing Honest, Self-Awareness Through Coach Supervision Coach supervision means growing up inside the work. It's to keep becoming more conscious yourself. More grounded. More truthful.

When a Team Isn’t a Group: What Coaches Need That They Don’t Know to Ask For In a team, the coach is responsible for what unfolds between the people in the room. In a group, the coach is responsible for noticing what unfolds within themselves.
Managing Boundaries in Coaching: Balancing Safety and Humanity Boundaries are an essential yet often unnoticed structure that enhances safety and effectiveness in coaching relationships. When clearly established, they create a secure environment for clients to explore and develop. Conversely, unclear boundaries can lead to misunderstandings, dependency, or distrust between the coach and client, or among team members.
When Coaching Stops Working: The Hidden Doorway of Supervision One of the most overlooked aspects of coaching is how we, as coaches, bring ourselves into the work. The stuck moments, the unexpected discomfort, the dynamics that subtly unsettle us—these aren’t just client issues. They are invitations to turn toward what’s happening in us.
