What is supervision?
Professional supervision provides a supportive space for personal learning and character development.
Our congregations and communities deserve the best of what we can offer. Through supervision, leaders are encouraged to grow into the best versions of themselves, so that they can serve their people with excellence and care.
How are coaching and supervision different?
That’s a good question.
Supervision and coaching have much in common. At the heart of both is a cycle of action and reflection; both modes aim to help leaders reflect on themselves and their activities so that they can grow and develop.
However, there are a couple of key differences.
Supervision is workplace-orientated, helping clients to keep their work ethical, professional, and safe. Coaching, on the other hand, is more flexible and driven by what the client wants to achieve.
Supervision tends to be backward-looking; exploring situations that have occurred in order to make sense of them. In contrast, coaching is forward-looking, and this orientation means goal setting and accountability play greater roles.
Supervision with Nathan.
Though I care deeply about the church, I am, at heart, a missionary, not a pastor. I am fascinated by change leadership, systems thinking, and the power of spiritual formation. If you’re looking for a supervisor who’ll gently help you challenge the missional status quo of your church, I’m your guy!
