About this listen

 Welcome to this monthly podcast in which Clare Norman and Steve Ridgley ‘lift the lid’ on coaching supervision.

We are both experienced coaches and coach supervisors, passionate about the value that comes from supervision. We will share our experiences, knowledge, wisdom and insight as we set out in this podcast series to explore what supervision is, what it isn’t, what it’s like, how you might show up, what you might bring and how to get the most out of supervision.

We will share stories on this journey. Sometimes our personal stories, both as a coach and as a supervisor, but also examples of what coaches have brought to some of our supervision sessions.

It’s basically just Clare and Steve having a chat, swapping anecdotes and lifting the lid on key questions that might exist for coaches who are yet to explore supervision or who don’t feel they get value from being in supervision. Questions such as…

How is supervision different to coaching?
Group supervision, mentor coaching, 1-2-1, peer supervision - which do I choose?
What should I take to supervision?
Am I resourced enough to coach?
Can I talk about my business with my supervisor?
Am I in a rut as a coach?
How do I move my client forward?
Am I leading my client?
Is the goal everything?

… and much much more.

Join us on our monthly exploration of coaching supervision as we set out to tell some truths and lift the lid on supervision.

    Prompted by a great question Clare was asked, we explore whether supervision, because it allows for advice giving, is in fact just lazy coaching?

    We explore the challenges, the focus, the facilitation, the timeframes, the co-learning, the breadth and plethora of topics as we lift the lid a touch further on what supervision can be.

    This podcast sometimes looks at what has presented itself at Clare and Steve's supervision 1-1s and groups.

    In this episode, they step into their own vulnerability to share the themes they are taking to their own supervision of their coaching and supervision.

    Those themes? Landscapes and love, confidence and complacency, the risks and the rewards.

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 136 - Perspective - The one where the artist knows
    Sep 16 2025
    Clare and Steve explore how shifting our perspective can change how we show up and how we coach. Maybe it's through whose eyes we are seeing the problem, maybe it's where we're looking from, when we're looking, how our energy and state influence our perspective, or maybe something else?

    Reviewing and reflecting on the dimensions of our perspective on a situation can be an invaluable reflection and lead to unexpected shifts in our work. Maybe share your sense of your perspective on some aspect of your work next time you go to supervision?
