Make Super Vision A Habit

Regular Professional SuperVision = a great habit to start in 2022. 😀✅

There is a common misconception that supervision is only for those who are still in training, or for those who are somehow lacking or incompetent. To the contrary, a willingness to engage in supervision and explore vulnerabilities requires, strength, maturity and commitment. Suitable for all ages and stages of lawyer. Attendance at supervision is mandatory in some helping professions, such as social work and psychology, to maintain registration and practising requirements.

There are number of professionals who engage in supervision even though it is not a mandatory requirement and supervision is spreading into other helping professions, including law. The word supervision has all sorts of negative connotations. Most lawyers are familiar with hierarchical supervision because newly admitted solicitors have a supervised practice condition imposed on their practising certificates during the beginning years of practice. This has connotations of oversight and assessment.

❓ Supervision is not about gaining clarity about the technical legal aspects of the law. Supervision is all about getting clarity around how You are and how You are in the work. How do You show up in Your work? To Your clients? To Your colleagues? To You? What habits have you formed in Your professional life, good or bad? Do you ever think beyond Yourself in your workspace? Do you regularly review, reflect and give the professional-You self-care?
