Supervision Demo with Pictures and Dr. Nannette Reuther

A coaching podcast with Dr. Nannette Reuther and Tobias Weghorn. In this episode, Tobias brings two real client cases to explore what coaching supervision looks like in practice, including a supervision demo for coaches using images and metaphor. You’ll hear how supervision helps coaches notice when they’re taking over “the steering wheel,” and how simple ICF core competencies contracting can reset the partnership when sessions start to feel heavy. Along the way, Dr. Reuther shares practical ways to use coaching with images to bypass pure logic, access emotions, and build accountability.Key Learnings:Use coaching supervision to spot early warning signs you’re “doing the work for the client” (busy, heavy, exhausting) and pause to re-center in the coach role.Re-contract in the moment using ICF core competencies contracting: clarify where the client wants to “drive,” what they need right now (venting vs. moving forward), and what role they want you to play.Try coaching with images to shift from analysis to emotion: ask the client (or supervisee) what the image evokes, then use it as an accountability anchor for the next session (helpful alongside inner team model coaching when clients stay overly cognitive).Resources:Dr. Nannette Reuther's Website: https://supervision.partners/Dr. Nannette Reuther's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-nannette-reuther-453956102/Find your Coaching Tool: https://metaFox.euTry the metaFox Strengths Discovery: https://strengths-discovery.comConnect with Tobi on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/tobiasweghornEpisode Chapters:00:00 When Coaching Starts Feeling Like Work01:00 Why Coaching Supervision Matters (And Why Tobi Finally Tried It)06:00 Coaching with Images: Why Pictures Bypass Logic and Create Accountability09:00 A Supervision Demo for Coaches: Using a Library Image in Group Supervision13:00 Case 1: The “Storyteller” Client and Letting Go of the Steering Wheel20:00 ICF Core Competencies Contracting in the Moment (Where Does the Client Want to Drive?)24:00 Coach Position vs. Personal Patterns: “Put Your Baggage in the Trunk”31:00 Case 2: Inner Team Model Coaching Meets a Very Rational Client36:00 Coffee-Spilling Metaphor: When Coaching Feels Exhausting40:00 Re-Contracting So You’re Coach, Not Consultant53:00 How to Get Started with Coaching Supervision (Accredited Supervisors, Groups, Budget)
