Reflect, Re-Energise and Refocus Coach Development

ABOUT

Join us for a powerful reflective, clarifying and energising morning with three international supervisors and coach developers on Friday, 8 February at St. Paul's Church Rondebosch, Cape Town from 9am -12h30pm. Limited spaces available.

These transformational group sessions will help you:

1. Let go, reflect and restore balance
2. Get clarity and focus
3. Be more effective and improve client results
4. Have more energy for important areas
5. Feel inspired and light in your practice

This mini-retreat will last 3.5 hours, give space, support and knowledge - focusing on your practice and how you show up in it. The event will consist of 3 group supervision sessions where you can bring or observe a piece for one-on-one supervision within a safe, supportive space and benefit from the collective experience of other professionals.

We are passionate about supporting and developing coaches who are working to transform people, communities, societies and countries for positive change and are looking forward to working with a very special group.

What people are saying about this experience

‘I can hand on heart say it was and continues to be the single best investment I have ever made in myself, my clients and my professionalism. I’d recommend it to all coaches in a heartbeat.’

‘I leave with renewed understanding and one less layer of my old story, as well as a new emerging version of my ever - expanding sense of myself within my work as a coach.’

'I see supervision as an essential part of keeping myself ‘fit’ as a coach for the benefit of my clients, myself and the profession.’

Meet the supervisors

Learn from three outstanding supervisors who work with others internationally, to get more out of your coaching experience.

Karen Pratt Karen holds a Supervision Diploma from Coaching Development. She also holds the ICF PCC credential and is a Teaching & Supervising Transactional Analyst with a specialisation in education. She practices as a trainer, facilitator, coach and supervisor.

She loves partnering with professionals providing the relational space in which they can explore who they are in their work, and begin to craft a new story. She works mostly virtually with supervision clients from various parts of the world.

‘I also learnt directly from Karen’s way of being with me, as her client, which gives me a sense of coaching presence that I can start moving towards emulating. `Julie B’

Veronica Wantenaar has been a qualified coach for more than ten years working in a variety of organisational settings both in the UK and Africa. She is an ICF PCC and COMENSA Senior Practitioner and a member of COMENSA Supervision Portfolio Committee.

She is passionate about continuous learning and development and has found supervision to be a place of safety to explore her own practice and she wants to offer this to her supervision clients.

Veronica believes that no matter how good a coach we may be we can benefit from someone to help us unpack situations clearly or open us up to our blind spots. When we only unpack our experience from our worldview that can be limiting.

Having an objective observer who can ask questions to challenge our worldview, to test our assumptions, and to hold up the mirror can give us a deeper level of awareness and understanding.  It can help us to create new learning and that is the role of supervision.

On working with Veronica:

‘For me it has provided the reflective space to examine my practice, to explore my fears and concerns and to make decisions about how I want to work going forward. I have become more boundaried, more present and self-aware in my sessions. I see supervision as an essential part of keeping myself ‘fit’ as a coach for the benefit of my clients, myself and the profession.’

Alex van Oostveen is a credentialed coach with COMENSA and ICF and is a Registered Supervisor. He supervises individuals and groups globally and uses transactional analysis as his psychological framework in this work.

Alex serves the International Transactional Analysis Association as a Board Trustee and as Ethics Committee Co-Chair, in the South African Transactional Analysis Association as Vice Chair and is a member of the COMENSA Supervision Portfolio Committee.

He is a mentor on an internationally accredited coach training course and a coach supervisor for students on the South African College of Applied Psychology Post Graduate Diploma in Coaching.

‘Alex is a kind, compassionate and fair human. He holds a safe, warm, neutral and gently challenging space for us to bring our thoughts and feelings and explore them whether individually, or collectively depending on the structure of that particular session. I have especially loved the group supervision space as this has given me the opportunity to be exposed to other coaching methods and different perspectives.’
