Coaching and mentoring supervision is a rapidly expanding field that has seen significant growth in recent years.

As with art galleries, some pieces in this book require reflection and may require multiple visits to fully appreciate. However, the work is both edgy and innovative, while also being firmly grounded in the experience of coaching and mentoring supervisors. It provides pragmatic solutions to current complex challenges, making it an invaluable resource for those in the field.

Over the past decade, coaching supervision has become increasingly prevalent among 'best practice coaches.' This book harnesses the current surge in curiosity, knowledge, and practice in coaching and mentoring supervision and provides a collective statement of our times. Each chapter, in its highly individual way, equips readers to face the demands of the VUCA environment. In turn, the book resources coaching and mentoring supervisors to support their supervisees, coaches, and mentors who work with leaders, grappling with global, community, and personal challenges, in this uncertain, fast-moving world.

Supervision for mentors is developing alongside coaching supervision, and while there are some apparent similarities, there is currently little research focused specifically on the mentoring supervision experience. However, its distinctive identity is still forming, and we invite mentors and mentor supervisors to consider the emerging similarities and differences in addressing the requirements for mentoring supervision as they read these works.

The book brings together pioneering research and practice, ensuring that it remains current and relevant for years to come. It is a valuable resource for anyone involved in coaching and mentoring supervision, as well as for those who are interested in developing their leadership and coaching skills.
