My approach to supervision

I bring a coaching background and framework to supervision. I seek to co-create comfortable environments where learning and reflection are the central aspect of establishing focused growth objectives. I believe that through supervision and coaching we are able to maintain best practices, resolve / prevent ethical dilemmas, develop leadership attributes and generate resilience to sustain longevity in LLE careers.
