In this interview, we talk with Damian Goldvarg about his article entitled, "The Evolution of Coaching Super-Vision."

As professional coaching has continued to grow in popularity worldwide, coaching supervision has gained a significant role and acceptance in the last few years.  One of the challenges in the understanding and development of coaching supervision is that the word "supervision" may have a negative connotation associated with management, guidance or quality control.  Damian prefers to separate the word in two – super-vision – to emphasize the nature of the reflective practice focused on offering a space to learn about our work for new coaches as well as for very experienced coaches.

In this podcast, we will discuss the three functions that coaching super-vision serves, the competencies that EMCC holds around supervision, and learn the differences between mentor coaching and supervision. 

Dr. Damian Goldvarg is a world-renowned executive coach with over thirty years of experience in the field. Born and raised in Argentina, he has worked with individuals and organizations in over sixty countries, offering services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. He is a Master Certified Coach (MCC), received his Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology from Alliant University in California., and is also an Accredited Team Coach (ACTC), Professional Certified Speaker (CSP), and an Accredited Coach Supervisor (ESIA).  He facilitates certifications in Professional Coaching, Mentor Coaching, Team Coaching, and Coaching Supervision. Dr. Goldvarg was the 2013-2014 International Coaching Federation Global President, and authored and coauthored eight coaching books.

Coaching allows you to come across individuals from all walks of life, who each have their own opinions but are synergized by some commonality – either their overall effort or a common goal – which tends to lead you to coach them as a group or team. Now, let’s take this coaching to the next level by facilitating the practice of becoming U.N.T.A.P.P.E.D. This acronym stands for the coaching of:

• Unlimited
• Needs of the group/team (that allows them to)
• Trust themselves and others to be
• Attentive, while the coach
• Pays attention to
• People’s
• Engagement and the
• Diversity of the group or team.

Many reports indicate that the benefits of coaching are tremendous, and that the benefits of group and team coaching can be extraordinary. So, imagine what the benefits of U.N.T.A.P.P.E.D. coaching can be.

As a coach, you are in the driver’s seat, so set your expectations early. Don’t drive distracted, and don’t drive aimlessly. Just stay in your lane by coaching untapped, and watch how much further you will get in less time.

Quickly and effectively identifying team challenges isn’t just important – it’s paramount to a team’s success. Using a comprehensive framework in your coaching practice, such as the Better Teams Model, enables leaders to rapidly identify the key opportunities and confidently move into goal setting and informed action planning.
