In this brief talk, Amarantho Robey recounts how a sudden back injury on the first day of a large intergenerational retreat forced him into the hospital and sparked his entry into coaching supervision. He reframes the concept of supervision, describing it as "super vision"—a clear, insightful way of observing one's own practice—drawing on his experience from 20 years ago as a Buddhist monk who created his own coaching supervision method. Robey notes his professional credentials as an EMCC‑accredited coach and extends an invitation to viewers to join a Facilitators Clinic, a group session focused on coaching supervision.

Chapters

On a beautifully hot summer's August day in the English countryside, I was about to start a retreat with 100 people, intergenerational, different ages. I bent down to pick up a piece of chocolate and my back went ping, and rather than starting that retreat, I ended up in hospital. And this was my start of my journey into coaching supervision. Now you may think the word supervisor, supervision is about somebody standing behind you and telling you what to do, but for me it's about having super vision, how to clearly see what you are doing. 20 years ago when I was a Buddhist monk starting that retreat and developed my own way of offering coaching supervision, I'm an accredited coach with the EMCC. I'd like to invite you to the Facilitators Clinic, where we'll offer a group session. And I look forward to seeing you.
