THE FUNCTIONS OF SUPERVISION
The three functions of coaching supervision are:
- Normative – contributing to the quality of work and ethical decision making;
- Formative/Developmental – facilitating the personal and professional development of the coach;
- Restorative – providing emotional support.

- Develop insights into the beneficial and problematic patterns in the coach’s approach to coaching
- Understand difficult issues in the coaching engagement and formulate effective responses to those issues
- Assist the coach in developing and maintaining professional practice, so that the interests of the client, coach and the coaching industry are served
