Supervision: capacity vs competence – what is the difference and why does it matter?

Session on 26 November 2019 11:00 UTC - View on timetable

Session

Supervision is, essentially, a relational process. Dr Chandana Sanyal will explore how the EMCC Supervision Framework, informed by ongoing research, can provide a guide to support reflection and dialogue in the context of our EMCC Global Accredited Training Programmes for Coaching, Mentoring and Supervision, including EMCC Global Individual Accreditation to role model ‘best practice’.

The 2019 version of the EMCC Supervision Competence Framework refers to the term ‘capacity’, which relates more to how a person is being than what they are doing. The capacities we refer to describe levels of awareness that enable an effective review and evaluation of practice, and an insight into the potential use and application of the framework. This discussion asks how capacity is developed and whether it is something that can be taught.
