Client Appreciation
The principle led coach supervisor program has enabled me to challenge myself and my practice in unexpected and transformational ways and has given me the skills and confidence to take the next step to furthering my professional and personal development. I was unsure of whether or not I was ready to take that next step but after chatting through my vision and goals with Beth, I reflected and had a deeper knowing that supervision practice was the right next step for me. I am so pleased that I took the leap as I have found the journey invaluable and the learning within the program expansive. The program itself is well paced, with a good balance of learning and experience and the way it was delivered by Beth and Michele gave me the ability to stay focused on the powerful aims and principles of the course whilst practicing and experiencing for myself the value that supervision intervention can bring to coaching practice.
Karen Ramsey Smith
For me, the Principle Led Coach Supervisor programme debunked the apparent mystery surrounding effective coach supervision and built my confidence, knowledge and practice to a level where I relish future supervisory opportunities with gusto.
John Letham, Considered Thinking
I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop into Coach Supervision. As a coach I knew how important it is to have a supervisor to become the best coach that I can be. This course helped me to understand the role of a supervisor at a deeper level and highlighted even further the importance of this role in the development of coaches. The course has inspired me to push on and help as many coaches as I can from being the best supervisor that I now can be.

The people behind the training
Michele Armstrong and Beth Cumming met in 2007 when Beth joined Michele’s coach training course. At that time, the coaching industry were not aligned to a philosophy of coach supervision so when Michele discovered that Beth was involved in training supervisors, their working relationship soon moved towards collaborating on the development of a Supervision Training Course for coaches.
Michele and Beth, both actively involved in coaching, designed this course based on 40+ years of coaching and coach supervision experience.
Formerly in Community Learning & Development (and in receipt of Supervision to support best practice in education), Michele set up her own business and began training professional coaches in 2003.
Beth has been designing and delivering Supervision training for the Health and Social Care sector for over 30 years. Together, they offer a deeply personal and experiential learning framework to support your intention to deepen your practice and to become a Coach Supervisor.
Raymy Boyle joined the training team to support the 2020 course and in 2022, partnered with Michele to deliver the latest version of our blended learning / online offering.
With 30 + years of experience in social services, Raymy has gained significant insight into organisational culture and leadership and recognises the value and benefits of support and supervision (to individual practitioners and their organisations).
As a qualified Coach Supervisor himself, Raymy is someone who has embraced life-long learning in his own life, and firmly believes that we have the opportunity for ongoing learning and growth, regardless of our circumstances. Raymy’s passion continues to be working with people in ways that serve them and, consequently, enables them to serve others. Coach Supervision fits this profile well.
Why online learning?
In 2022, when Beth decided to move into semi-retirement, she agreed to record a series of short sessions to share her wisdom on the core elements of supervision practice. This contribution to the course is priceless and allows us to share Beth’s wisdom, knowledge and expertise every time we run this course.
