Katharine St John-Brooks, Jeremy Gomm and Julia Menaul unpick how frequently a coach should be undertaking supervision. They also discuss the role of the supervisor in educating organisation clients on what supervision is or isn’t and explore the responsibility of coaches in handling and sharing client information.

Katharine St John-Brooks is the author of the first book to focus exclusively on internal coaches, Internal Coaching – The Inside Story, published in 2014 and currently being updated for a second edition.

She is a speaker, contributor to numerous books on coaching and now a fiction author having written a thriller whose main character is a coach. Previously she worked in the UK Government (where her first thriller is set) and later set up her own management consultancy and executive coaching business.

Jeremy Gomm is an ILM Level 7 qualified supervisor and a practising supervisor, coach and mentor, largely for clients in organisations.

He was a voluntary director of EMCC UK for more than eight years during which he developed corporate membership and began a keen interest in internal coaching. This led to him setting up the first international conference exclusively for internal coaches, the International Internal Coaching Conference, in partnership with internal coaching associations in France, Belgium and Holland.

Julia Menaul discovered her passion for people development as a trainer in 1991 after life as a manager in retail and worked at several companies as Training Manager focusing on management development. In 2000 she qualified as an Executive Coach with PB Coaching and in 2001 set up Spark Coaching & Training to help people excel in the workplace through great leadership.

She is an Accredited Master Executive Coach with the Association for Coaching, has two coach supervision qualifications and is a member of the Association of Coaching Supervisors and the British Psychological Society.
