A message from Patty to "SeattleCoach Certified" Coaches

The Invitation . . .

If you are a SeattleCoach Certified member of our tribe, that is, a graduate of Coaching for Leaders or of one of our Flagship Cohorts (Modules I and II), and are actively building your work as a coach or coaching leader, I invite you to join me in a small monthly Supervision Cohort.

What is Coaching Supervision?

"Like you, 2020 has given me time to reflect. Since 2008, I’ve loved every minute of creating a state-of-the-art coach training program and attracting over 450 smart and attractive coaches and coaching leaders to it. Lately I’ve been thinking about what comes next—as SeattleCoach grows, and as the practices of many of you grow, how will we keep our edge? Our connections? Our magic?

"Coaching can get lonely. As with any rigorous and caring profession, the human capacity to support and challenge can erode when you get bored, overwhelmed or lacking in hope. And as humans, your coachees will attach their own meanings to what they see (“it must be me!”). When a coach becomes isolated, it’s always costly to their craft, to their presence and to their ethical confidence.

"And maybe then coaching becomes less fun. And when coaching stops being fun, you will stop getting better . . . "

The Requirements to join a Supervision Cohort . . .

I ask members to join a Supervision Cohort for six months at a time. The "door will open" for departures and new arrivals every six months (Fall and Spring) with a steady max of eight coaches per Cohort.

The time commitment is two hours a month with your Cohort + at least one hour of preparation/pre-work . Optionally, members may schedule with each other for bartered coaching.

Cost is $900 per six months. As with supervision groups in other professions, there will be no limit on re-upping.

Though I will bring resources, Supervision is less a "class" and more a wise and customized consultation that will invite you to review and apply all that you have reflected on and on-boarded during coach training. I will ask you as members to take turns bringing your projects, experiments, personal challenges and aspirations for us to work on together. All of our work will respect confidentiality and some of it might inspire collaborations.

To apply to join a Supervision Cohort, please fill in the form below with your info and preferences . I'll let you know about upcoming openings.
