Jennifer Plaister & Carol Whitaker

Anthropologists looking for gold: a supervision model of co-created learning

Theme: Diversity & Inclusion for Practitioners 

Area: Supervision 

Style: Mainly Experiential 

Type: Demonstration

A fun and interactive approach to some serious issues around diversity and inclusion in inter-cultural supervision. Delegates will get the opportunity to witness a demonstration and then try the approach in pairs, including experimenting with the Cross-Cultural Kaleidoscope tool with a variety of props and to consider its applicability in their practice.

We will share our experiences of working with the Cross-Cultural Kaleidoscope with people across the globe. We will take participants on a ‘deep dive’ to explore cultural differences, similarities, values, beliefs and experiences. And facilitate discussions that consider the implications upon global leadership styles, global mindsets and working practices.

The Supervisor's Compass: Contracts, Contracting and Re-Constracting

A Masterclass for Coaches & Supervisors from the Association of Coaching Supervisors by Michelle Lucas and Carol Whitaker

Outline: As supervisors we have probably been asked more than once “what would you do?”. Inevitably our most typical reply is  “it depends”! When faced with a dilemma in coaching or mentoring work it is unwise to generalise and in fact, until we understand the Contract under which the work was established, it is almost impossible to gauge how appropriate an action or intervention might be. In their work as supervisors Carol and Michelle have noticed that encouraging supervisees to un-pick a “hypothetical” dilemma gives the supervisee the opportunity to stand back and gain a positive sense of distance. This helps minimise unconscious bias and assumptions that creep in when looking at their own real issues.

Date and Time: Wed 23 May 2018 14:00 – 18:00 

Location: Fazeley Studios, 191 Digbeth Street, Birmingham B5 5SE

What my clients say

"I found Carol’s coaching invaluable. It helped me focus on my strengths and what I wanted to do in driving the business forward. Above all it gave me time to think, Carol knew what to say and when to say it. Coaching is an art, not everyone can do it let alone do it well and for me Carol was a great artist!".  

Director of Risk Advisory Service BDO Stoy Hayward,

“My ongoing mentoring relationship with Carol has been and still is of great value, as I find it easy to express my concerns and seek advice from her on every aspect of my business and any major decision I need to make. She challenges me to think of things in a different way and gives me a different and much needed perspective. Carol would definitely be of great added value to entrepreneurs and professionals in any field, as she brings a wealth of experience and an understanding of business challenges in general.”

Entrepreneur, Remark Lebanon

"Carol helped me focus on what I really wanted and broke through the barriers which were holding me back. She’s innovative, inspirational and her style provided me with room for thought and reflection."

Senior Civil Servant, Westminster

“Carol coached me on and off for about two years, and I learnt a tremendous amount from her. What I found particularly useful was the ability to hold me to account, letting me come up with my own solutions and the practical nature of her advice. She can also do the creative, visioning side of coaching, but it was the practical things that I've found myself putting into practice year after year. I'd definitely recommend Carol as a coach for those of you trying to build new businesses and visions in high pressure environments.”

Senior Partner, PA Consulting

“I really enjoyed the sessions and found Carol challenging but supportive. Carol certainly enabled me to consider different options and encouraged me to have confidence in my own abilities.”
