Words from clients
Mary’s supervision is an exercise in many aspects of reflection. Reflection which leads to thinking more deeply about, and provides insight into, alternative views of things that have occurred or been said. Also reflection in the sense of holding up a clear mirror to one’s own actions, thoughts and feelings. Mary shares, guides and challenges but never tells. Her quiet authority, insight and manner instil trust, foster self awareness and provide a strong sense of support.” (Practicing coach and Meyler Campbell Business Coach Graduate)
“I have learnt as much from Mary’s questioning style as from her substantive responses to the issues I bring to supervision. She also raises awareness of the coaching landscape generally and is a rich source of advice, connections and industry understanding.” (Practicing coach and current supervisee)
“Enjoying supervision with Mary is a pleasure and a great learning experience.
She is searching with an open mind and never a sense of judgement.
Mary is open and candid. Her supervision is a critical foundation for my coaching work and professional development. It has propelled my coaching and my clients more than they will ever know.” (Meyler Campbell Business Coach Graduate)
"I have group coaching sessions with Mary and two other people, each of whom coach people in business and the professions. So there are four people in the room. We are all women, with about a 25-year age range between us and with different professional backgrounds prior to coming to coaching. We have developed a learning format whereby each of the supervisees brings one issue to discuss with our supervisor. Their discussion takes the form of a mini coaching session lead by our supervisor after which the other two supervisees add their reflections. We communicate by email in between these sessions, sending each other useful information about other learning opportunities, sharing occasional fears, sometimes referring work or planning writing work together. We learn as much from hearing our supervisor working with our colleagues as from her answers to our own issue. The style is respectful, quiet and creative. There is a collective sense of doing something replenishing and worthwhile for us and for the people we coach.” (focussed learning group particiopant)
