ICF & EMCC Coaching Supervision · Dr. Lisa Leit, MCC
Where coaches reflect, replenish, and stay resilient.
Coaching is demanding, and often solitary work. Coaching supervision with Dr. Lisa Leit gives you a safe, collegial space to reflect on your practice, care for your own well-being, and keep your work ethical and sharp, together, every Monday.
Why supervision
Great coaches do not grow in isolation.
The very things that make coaching powerful, presence, empathy, and holding space, are also what wear coaches down. Supervision is where you step back, make sense of the work, and return to your clients steadier and sharper.
The work follows you home
Triggers, projections, and the weight of what clients carry can quietly accumulate without a place to process them.
Ethical grey zones
Real practice raises dilemmas that no manual fully answers. You need trusted peers and a framework to think them through.
Practicing alone
Without reflection with others, blind spots stay hidden and good habits drift. Growth needs a mirror and a circle.
Coaching supervision is not about policing. It is a trusting, collegial partnership that equips you to deliver best practice with confidence, agility, and integrity.
What supervision is
A reflective space with three purposes.
Following the EMCC and ICF traditions, supervision is a collaborative learning practice that builds the coach through reflective dialogue, and safeguards the quality and ethics of the work. It does three things at once.
- DevelopmentalEnhancing your skills, knowledge, and capacities as a coach.
- ResourcingSupporting your well-being, so you can keep showing up whole.
- QualitativeEnsuring the ethical and professional quality of your coaching.
Clear distinctions
Supervision and ICF mentoring, side by side.
They are different practices with different purposes, and they complement each other. With Dr. Lisa Leit you can do both, back to back on Mondays.
ICF Mentoring
- Focuses on developing the ICF Core Competencies
- Required for ICF credentialing (ACC, PCC, MCC)
- Group or one to one formats, with a minimum of 3 hours one to one
- Includes specific feedback on recorded coaching sessions
Coaching Supervision
- Focuses on reflective practice and professional well-being
- Optional, and widely recognized as valuable for coach development
- Often in groups, and available one to one
- A broader discussion of coaching challenges, ethics, and personal growth
Mentoring sharpens the competencies. Supervision tends to the whole coach. Together, they keep your practice strong.

Questions
Questions coaches ask.
What is coaching supervision with Dr. Lisa Leit?

What is the difference between coaching supervision and ICF mentoring?
ICF Mentoring focuses on developing the ICF Core Competencies, is required for ICF credentialing at the ACC, PCC, and MCC levels, and includes specific feedback on recorded coaching sessions. Coaching Supervision focuses on reflective practice and professional well-being, is optional but widely recognized as valuable, and opens a broader discussion of coaching challenges, ethical issues, and personal growth. With Dr. Lisa Leit you can do both, back to back on Mondays.
When does group supervision meet?
Group supervision meets weekly on Mondays from 11am to 12pm CST, at least 35 times a year, in groups of one to ten participants. On the fourth Monday of each month, that hour is used for dedicated Business Development instead. ICF Group Mentoring follows from 12pm to 1pm CST, and a Happy Hour community runs from 1pm to 2pm CST.
Can supervision hours count toward my ICF credential?
Yes. Attendance is tracked, and ICF credential-holders may submit up to 10 hours of Coaching Supervision as core competency Continuing Coach Education (CCE) units toward credential renewal.
Who can attend?
Coaches at every stage, from those pursuing certification to experienced practitioners, and coaches seeking group supervision independent of any program. You are welcome to bring topics from your work as a team coach, a coach of individual clients, or a relationship coach.
What happens in a session?
Sessions typically include check-ins, exploration of the topics you bring, reflective discussion, and actionable feedback. Approaches may include reflective practice with one participant at a time, rotational participation, a co-development case-presentation model, ICF mentoring, or a blended approach, depending on the group's needs.
Is what I share confidential?
All participants agree to maintain confidentiality regarding personal and client information shared in sessions, and client cases are anonymized. Confidentiality does not extend to information indicating harm to self or others, or to breaches of legal or ethical standards. Dr. Lisa Leit takes reasonable measures to protect confidentiality but cannot guarantee against breaches by other participants.
