Supervision, Coaching and Consultancy

• are professional activities;
• are as broad as where people have questions about their feeling, thinking and behaving in their professional roles;
• can be defined as shared reflection about self, the role, the team, the organisation and the primary task, as well as the mutual relationships between these aspects and the relatedness with other context, with the goal to learn from that for future practice;
• are professions in their own right. As a doctor, an actor, an engineer, one can be a supervisor, coach or consultant;
• share the "mother tongue" of supervision and differ in accents:
• Coaching is the individual, directive approach, consultancy focuses more on organisations as a whole, supervision in the in-depth approach for individuals and team.
