In-Between choice thoughts

Phew! Yes, it’s done and “in the mail”!!!

Watch for your copy of the September issue to arrive to U.S. Addresses by October 15th and all other parts of the globe by late-October.

While we were preparing the current issue of choice, we were saddened by the passing of Stephen Covey. In memory of this great influencer to humanity, and in line with our philosophies and current issue, here is a quote to think about as you read about supervision and mentoring:

“There are three constants in life ... change, choice and principles.”

Part of my evolution as a coach was not only to have a mentor coach from time to time but also to train and become a mentor coach.

With the awesome leadership of inviteCHANGE and Amorah Ross I became a Certified Mentor Coach that greatly helped me increase my ability to mentor other coaches.

One of the reasons we decided to do an issue on this topic was because of the lack of consistency in not only the definition of each but also the role of a supervisor or mentor in the coaching profession.

Through many groups and emails, we continue to pursue common language around supervision and mentoring in coaching. There are a few groups who have tackled the definitions for each and it is our hope that some day there will be one accepted global definition.

Our LinkedIn Group is one of those places where there are some great ongoing dialogue about the international role of Mentoring and Supervision, Please join us there for an ongoing conversation.

The global view on these two supportive modalities still seems polarized, not only between coaching and professional backgrounds such as therapy, but also across continents.

Should we use one or the other predominantly? Do we create a hybrid? Would having supervision link us too closely to therapy? Is it too soon, or too late, to be defining the application of either?

If you have feedback and/or opinions about this, or any other, topic, please email, us at feedback@choice-online.com.
