Ongoing supervision development is not about “fixing what’s wrong” but rather strengthening what’s already working.

While reluctance can be discouraging, it is also an opportunity for supervisors to deepen their skills, strengthen relationships, and create environments where learning can flourish.

In the current workforce climate, the retention of health professionals is not just a staffing concern - it’s a service delivery imperative.

Supervision is more than a space to talk through challenges. It’s a space to grow.

When supervision includes regular, thoughtful feedback, it becomes a powerful learning space and one where professionals feel supported, stretched, and valued.

Protective factors help us stay well. They create the conditions for us to bring our best to our work, to grow through challenges, and to support one another with compassion and clarity.

In every supervision journey, the relationship between supervisor and supervisee is critical.

Support and supervision are not “extras”. They are what enable professionals to do their best work and make sustained care possible.

Best practice supervision isn’t just about ticking a box. It’s about creating the right conditions for growth, for both supervisors and supervisees.

As we aspire to transformative supervision experiences, what is happening in your own workplace?

When a team thrives, the impact goes far beyond the workplace……….

The development of supervisory skills is an ongoing journey for supervisees, for supervisors and for workplaces, which is why we offer a range of supervision programs and resources to meet this need.

As we continue to navigate the ever evolving and demanding landscape of healthcare, the importance of effective supervision cannot be understated.

When we delight in others’ success, we create an atmosphere where everyone feels valued, safe, and motivated.

It’s a strange paradox—we long for feedback because we know it’s crucial for growth, but we also hate hearing it because it often stings, even when it's well-intended.

Giving yourself permission to be a work in progress means recognising the foundation you're building on and acknowledging that growth is an essential part of becoming a more effective leader.

Think of yourself as a lighthouse. Just as a lighthouse must maintain its light to guide ships safely to shore, a leader must take care of themselves to effectively guide and support their team.

In an ideal world, we want our supervisees to bring an enthusiastic and open approach to supervision.

Along with our need for safety, belonging, fulfillment, and love, feeling valued is undoubtedly one of our core human needs.
