Last November, we discussed how silence in coaching and coaching supervision impacts coaches and coachees alike. It was a rich and dynamic conversation, leaving much to explore. Join us for part 2 for what we trust will be an enlightening session. In preparation for our discussion, please review the description of our last session:
As we serve in the role of a thought partner or facilitator, in what way can silence support supervision? Can the silence also result in unintended consequences? While we can agree that supervision is a reflective space, we can also agree on the myriad circumstances within that reflection. Join Reginald Jackson in exploring the silent spaces between the supervision conversation and what can emerge not only in the silence but because of the silence. This session is meant to be engaging and interactive, sourcing the knowledge and experience of the collective.
