01 · Guided learning

Reflection turns experience into learning

Explore the chapter’s main ideas, then test what you understand in a simulated coaching relationship. For each section, pause and consider the application to your own leadership practice.

02 · Check your understanding

Six chapter-based questions

Choose an answer and review the explanation. This is formative learning, not a professional qualification.

Caroline and Peter: the session that stayed with her

Caroline has been coaching Peter, a senior director, for months. After a forceful challenge, he leaves early and cancels two sessions. Make eight choices about reflection, supervision and repair. Each choice receives specific feedback.

04 · Practical analysis tool

Six-stage Gibbs Reflective Cycle

Use this journal on a real coaching experience or on Caroline’s simulated case. For confidentiality, describe situations without real names or identifying details.

05 · Supervision planning

Normative · Formative · Restorative

Select what is happening in your coaching practice. Your selection generates suggestions for the type of supervision conversation to arrange—not a substitute for an appropriately qualified supervisor.

Supervision session preparation

The chapter describes individual and group supervision, structured peer reflection and ongoing CPD. When appropriate, qualified individual supervision is preferable for particularly sensitive or complex material.
06 · Reflective diagnostic

Eight habits of a developing coach

Rate yourself from 1 (rarely) to 5 (consistently). These are self-perceptions, not validated measurements of competence. Compare them with what you actually chose in the simulation.
