    The final episode - the one where we mark the ending and celebrate success

    Clare and Steve bring the podcast to a close, celebrating the journey, the friendship, the learning, the relationship - and with true parallel process, notice how these are all elements of the coach/client and coach/supervision relationship.

    The experience had been deeply reflective for both Clare and Steve and somewhat unexpectedly, they have gained so much personally from the explorations they have shared. They exchange what they are taking with them from the five years and what opportunity an ending offers.

    Go well listeners and a great big 'thank you!' from us both.

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 139 - The full circle episode - the one where we reminisce
    Dec 16 2025
    In today’s episode, Steve and Clare reflect on the 5+ years that they have been recording together. How time flies when you are learning together!

    We reminisce about the original hopes and intentions - around encouraging more coaches to invest in supervision. We wonder at the supervision that we have offered each other, out loud with you listening in, via these conversations. We also look into our crystal ball to explore a little of what might be coming in the future of supervision and coaching, much of which is already happening!

    We hope that you have been changed by listening in, as we feel changed by recording.

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 138 - Is Supervision just lazy coaching? - The one with the plethorists
    Nov 18 2025
    Prompted by a great question Clare was asked, we explore whether supervision, because it allows for advice giving, is in fact just lazy coaching?

    We explore the challenges, the focus, the facilitation, the timeframes, the co-learning, the breadth and plethora of topics as we lift the lid a touch further on what supervision can be.

    This podcast sometimes looks at what has presented itself at Clare and Steve's supervision 1-1s and groups.

    In this episode, they step into their own vulnerability to share the themes they are taking to their own supervision of their coaching and supervision.

    Those themes? Landscapes and love, confidence and complacency, the risks and the rewards.

  • Lifting The Lid - Episode 136 - Perspective - The one where the artist knows

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 136 - Perspective - The one where the artist knows
    Sep 16 2025
    Clare and Steve explore how shifting our perspective can change how we show up and how we coach. Maybe it's through whose eyes we are seeing the problem, maybe it's where we're looking from, when we're looking, how our energy and state influence our perspective, or maybe something else?

    Reviewing and reflecting on the dimensions of our perspective on a situation can be an invaluable reflection and lead to unexpected shifts in our work. Maybe share your sense of your perspective on some aspect of your work next time you go to supervision?

  • Lifting The Lid - Episode 135 - Client epiphany - The one where five minutes matters

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 135 - Client epiphany - The one where five minutes matters
    Aug 19 2025
    What if your client comes alive with only 5 minutes of the session to go? How does that impact you, the coach, and what flexibility should we have for our clients' needs? Where does contracting come in and are we too focused on the transactional elements of that and on our needs?

    Could we pay more attention to our client's emotional and psychological needs and be contracting more on endings and on the spaces between coaching sessions?

  • Lifting The Lid - Episode 134 - Collective responsibility in the group - The one about asking for what you need

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 134 - Collective responsibility in the group - The one about asking for what you need
    Jul 15 2025
    In this podcast, you will hear Clare and Steve discussing group supervision in particular, and how to recontract with the group for what you need. This is not just about what you need from the supervisor, but what you need and want from the group. In self-led supervision (as Louise Shepperd would call it, you have a collective responsibility as a group to define your boundaries, limits, preferences and deal-breakers (Terri Cole).

    This is for all to decide, and must not bypass group discussion by relying on the supervisor to “put things right”. How do you show up in groups? Are you there for yourself alone, or do you see yourself having collective responsibility to the group’s learning?

  • Lifting The Lid - Episode 133 - Duty of Care - The one with the Peacock's Tail

    Lifting The Lid - Episode 133 - Duty of Care - The one with the Peacock's Tail
    Jun 17 2025
    If you have considered supervision, but not yet taken the plunge, one core reason you might, is duty of care. When might the duty of care to your client, the client's wider system - eg their family or team, or duty of care for yourself, challenge your coaching? Would you even spot it? Is supervision itself an act of duty of care to self?

    Coaching can be a lonely business, and supervision can support you in that. Steve and Clare also touch on where ethics, boundaries and duty of care meet. Steve introduces the concept of the Peacock's Tail, a systemic representation of systems of belonging.
