  Mentor Coaching Coach Supervision
International Coach Federation Definition For purposes of credentialing, mentor coaching means an applicant being coached on their coaching skills rather than coaching on practice building, life balance, or other topics unrelated to the development of an applicants coaching skill. Coaching Supervision is the interaction that occurs when a coach periodically brings his or her coaching work experiences to a coaching supervisor in order to engage in reflective dialogue and collaborative learning for the development and benefit of the coach and his or her clients.
Purpose To reach a particular standard or demonstrate specific coaching competencies and other credentialing requirements. To generate coach insights through guided reflective enquiry that will improve the quality of his or her coaching, and hence expand coach capability and confidence.
Timing Typically associated with a specific step in the coaches development, such as gaining a credential. ICF requires 10 hours over a minimum of 3 months, 3 of which must be one-to-one mentoring. Throughout the coaches professional life, to uphold the highest professional standards.

“Supervision is an inquiry into practice. It is a compassionate appreciative inquiry….in supervision we rewrite the stories of our own practice. It wakes us up to what we are doing. When we are alive to what we are doing we wake up to what is, instead of falling asleep in the comfort stories of our coaching routines.”

Vital Practice, Ryan 2004
