What Is Group Coaching Supervision? (A Must-Watch Conversation)

ICFWA Newsletter

If you’ve ever wondered how great coaches keep getting better—or how they stay aligned with ethics and ICF core competencies—this conversation is for you. In this interview led by Erica Goos and Inga Bielinska for ICF Washington, they break down what group coaching supervision truly is, and why it matters.

They explain that group coaching supervision is a dynamic, reflective process where coaches learn through collaboration, guidance, and shared support. Instead of coaching in isolation, participants tap into collective wisdom to grow their personal, professional, and ethical capacity. The goal isn’t judgment, it’s curiosity.

You’ll hear how supervision connects the ICF Code of Ethics with real-life coaching experience, turning ethical questions from something to fear into something to explore. The conversation also highlights the “craft vs. art” of coaching, an invitation to examine patterns, power dynamics, and even the “currents” that shape sessions through reflective practice and parallel process.

Plus, they share what sessions look like, who it’s for (beginner to experienced), and how it supports confidentiality, vulnerability, and lasting development.
