Lifting The Lid - Episode 42 - The one with the dried prunes and tandems

In this episode, Clare and Steve muse about hiding in supervision. Steve confesses to hiding himself when tiredness got in the way and he chose to coast and take a ride on the back of the tandem instead of driving his own bike! Hiding by not bringing issues creates inequality in groups, where vulnerability is so key. Hiding behind the story, rather than focusing on themselves, prevents us from identifying the part we play in coaching relationships. Hiding behind repeating topics every time could mask something more significant. Accessing the unknown, hidden stuff is really important and can be found through reflective and reflexive practice. Shining a light on our own shadow, where it has an impact on coaching, is vital to create transformation for ourselves and those we work with.
