Many companies now invest heavily in coaching, providing external coaches for their leaders, developing a cadre of internal coaches and mentors to support leadership development and training managers in coaching skills and processes. Jericho Partners bring their expertise in leadership development and coaching to the service of organisations through Coaching Supervision - enabling organisations to monitor, improve and maximise the value they get from their investment in coaching.

Supervision ensures that the coaching practised inside the organisation is of high quality and ensures against inappropriate or manipulative use of coaching and mentoring. Supervision can be provided as a one-to-one service, or to small groups of coaches or managers, who also learn to provide support and supervision for each other. It is relevant both for professional coaches and for managers who use coaching skills in their work as well as providing useful support for other professionals including mentors, consultants, advisors and trainers.

Potential benefits for coaches and coaching managers include:

• Developing better contracting, clarifying outcomes and responsibilities for the organisation and the individual;
• Improving coaching practice, developing new choices when "stuck"; resolving ethical dilemmas; learning new skills and frameworks;
• Acquiring a deeper understanding of the systemic context - the culture or ecology of organisations in which they operate.

Potential benefits for the organisation include:

• More effective coaching practice in the organisation, and measurement of investment in, outcomes and benefits from coaching;
• Greater learning from collective themes emerging across coaching relationships, used to improve current leadership practice, coaching practice and leadership development initiatives;
• More effective selection, management and monitoring of external coaches operating within the organisation.
