Most coaches and supervisors are trained to work in the present moment, with a future intention in mind. All well and good, but what if one of the most important things happening in the room is not immediately visible? What if the past is already there, silently shaping the conversation?

In a fascinating episode of The Coaching Supervision Casebook Podcast, Jeremy Lewis speaks with Fiona Adamson about a supervision case that explores a deceptively simple idea: the past is always alive in the present.

This podcast episode offers a rich exploration of supervision, relational awareness and the profound possibility that understanding the past can transform what becomes possible in both the present and the future.

For coach educators, one of the biggest challenges is helping new coaches move beyond the question: ‘Am I doing it right?’ Effective supervision can provide the confidence, reflection and psychological safety that trainees need to develop their practice.

In this episode, Charlotte Wilding shares her experience supervising coaches on an ILM Level 7 programme and demonstrates how the NEEDS framework supports her.

The framework is particularly effective for exploring common concerns among new coaches, such as fear of causing harm, managing emotional conversations, or handling challenging clients. Through structured reflection, trainees often discover that they already possess valuable skills from previous professional experiences and do not need to become a completely different person to coach effectively.

In this episode, Coaching Supervision Casebook author Jeremy Lewis is in conversation with coaching supervisors Traci Manalani and Larissa Thurlow. Listen to their compelling story about how co-supervision and the intentional use of the NEEDS framework helped the supervisors navigate a particularly demanding group supervision engagement.

What If Your Doubts Are Trying to Help You?

Most coaches are familiar with self-doubt.

Am I doing this right? Am I asking the right questions? Am I living up to what I was taught? Am I good enough?

In a fascinating conversation on The Coaching Supervision Casebook Podcast, coaching supervisor Steve Benson challenges the assumption that doubt is always something to eliminate. Instead, he invites us to consider a different possibility: what if some doubts are actually useful?

In conversations about coaching supervision, ethics is often treated as a corrective mechanism: something we attend to when a boundary has been crossed, a dilemma emerges, or a complaint arises. Interviewed by Jeremy Lewis for The Coaching Supervision Casebook Podcast, Beth Clare McManus offers a different perspective. Her reflections on values incongruence suggest that ethical practice begins much earlier, with the capacity to notice.

Many coaches know supervision matters—but far fewer truly understand what it looks like in practice.

That's why I wrote and edited The Coaching Supervision Casebook, published by Routledge. The book's mission is simple: to make coaching supervision practical, accessible, and far less intimidating, so more coaches can confidently engage with it.

To accompany the book’s publication, I'm launching The Coaching Supervision Casebook Podcast. In each episode, I'll be joined by one of the contributing authors to explore a real case study and bring the NEEDS Framework to life.
