Generally speaking
Supervision is a respectful interruption of our work to set up reflective dialogue through which we learn. Cf: adapted from “Supervision as transformation”– Robin Shohet
Supervision has a transformative function because the focus is on developing awareness, learning and development of the supervisee.
Supervision has a support function because it allows the supervisees to release their emotions in a safe space, to take a step back, and to develop new looks.
What I believe about supervision
Supervision is above all a personal reflection on our posture as professional.
The supervision is an enabler to put things into perspective, to identify our grey zones, and to put down the questions that it is sometimes difficult to carry alone.
There is a parity relationship between the supervisor and the supervisee: the quality of the relationship and the ability to show vulnerability allows the two partners to explore and co-create together
How does supervision with me look like?
Supervision with me is knowing and feeling that as a coach or a manager, we are not alone in exploring the dead ends we find ourselves in and the questions we ask ourselves.
It is knowing and feeling there is someone at our side with head, heart and intuition to explore our fallow land and co-create safely.

You are a coach :
Supervision is an absolute necessity, underlined by all the codes of ethics of professional associations.
In this context, you periodically share your professional experiences, your questions, your feelings … with your supervisor in order to initiate a reflexive dialogue and collaborative learning.
This helps you to adopt the most appropriate posture vis-à-vis the clients with whom you conduct your interventions.
Supervision takes place either individually or in groups.
You are a leader :
Sometimes you are alone and helpless when it comes to your organizational responsibilities and the motivation of your teams.
Having a supervisory space where you share your experiences, challenges and questions allows you to broaden your perspectives and explore your practices. This will help you adopt the right posture as a leader and make a major contribution to the efficiency of your teams.
