Group Supervision: Shared Learning, Shared Humanity

Why supervision in groups creates connection, perspective, and collective wisdom.

More Than One-to-One

Many coaches experience supervision as a one-to-one conversation — private, personal, focused. Yet supervision can also happen in groups, and when it does, something powerful unfolds: coaches discover that they are not alone.

The Richness of Shared Reflection

In group supervision, each coach brings a story, a question, or a challenge. As these are explored, the group creates:

• Multiple Perspectives – Fresh angles that one coach alone might not see.

• Normalisation – Realising that doubts, dilemmas, and struggles are shared.

• Collective Wisdom – Insights sparked by the interplay of experiences.

• Supportive Community – A reminder that coaching is not a solitary journey.

The group becomes both mirror and resource.

Humanity in the Room

Beyond the professional benefits, group supervision also offers something deeply human: belonging. Coaches witness one another with compassion, honesty, and curiosity.

It is a space where professional growth and personal connection intertwine.

Challenges and Rewards

Of course, group supervision also carries challenges: time is shared, vulnerability may feel riskier, and dynamics can be complex. Yet these very challenges are part of the learning. Coaches grow not only from their own reflections, but also from engaging in a living system of peers.

A Wider Lens

In today’s complex world, coaching is rarely about one person in isolation. Group supervision reflects this reality. It offers a wider lens, reminding us that we are always part of something bigger — a team, an organisation, a community, a world.
