Thesis title: Supervision for team coaches: The issues, challenges and experiences and what those may indicate about the capabilities needed for supervisors to be fit for this role
Start year: 2023
Research topic
The aim of my inquiry is to understand what happens in the supervision of team coaches and how that may be the same or different from the interactions in dyadic coaching supervision. Specifically, I am investigating:
- What happens in supervision sessions with team coaches? i.e. What do coaches bring as issues to reflect on, what else is explored in these sessions and what difficulties do supervisors and coaches experience in their work together?
- What do the experiences indicate about the capabilities needed of supervisors to provide a quality supervision experience for team coaches?
