Climate & Sustainability CFE
EMCC Global were one of the originating professional bodies who signed up to the Joint Statement on Climate Change in 2020. To honour our commitment to move from words to action, we established a Centre for Excellence, a Global Workgroup for Climate Action and Sustainability. The group aims to support coaches, mentors and supervisors by providing access to resources and tools which allow them to actively consider their practice in the context of a systemic, climate conscious approach. The group is inclusive and non-judgemental and is currently working on a number of priority areas. We will shortly be conducting some research to understand how our members view the climate challenge and we are creating a flexible set of resources through a Handbook to support members in their development. The handbook will be launched later in the summer.

What is Learning?
How can you enhance your learning journey during the conference?
How can you build your CPD plan? How can you enhance your learning journey after the conference?
What are your challenges with CPD and what would you expect from EMCC?
Why reflective practice is the corner stone of learning?
Mentoring & Competence
“Mentoring is a learning relationship, involving the sharing of skills, knowledge, and expertise between a mentor and mentee through developmental conversations, experience sharing, and role modelling. The relationship may cover a wide variety of contexts and is an inclusive two-way partnership for mutual learning that values differences.”
The practice of Mentoring is dynamic and evolving in a rapidly changing global context. A Mentoring definition needs to reflect and enhance professional practice. The EMCC Mentoring Review Group, was tasked by the Global Executive Board (GEB) to review the existing definition and make recommendations for an updated understanding. In alignment with EMCC values of professionalism, diversity, and inclusion, the Review Group adopted a triangulation approach, which included a literature search, focus groups and survey of members.
The findings reflect and incorporate the perspectives of the wider Mentoring community, including views from inside and outside the EMCC’s global community. From this research, we have created a new fit for purpose definition of Mentoring.
The new wording serves not only as an updated definition but also represents EMCC’s current understanding of the essence of Mentoring. We recognise that this definition encapsulates a broad view, and, as work in progress, we would love any feedback and development suggestions.

Supervision
The field of supervision is evolving. New forms of coaching, mentoring and supervision are emerging. As this occurs, via its ‘Supervision Centre for Excellence’, EMCC Global aims to follow suit by updating its systems and processes to remain relevant and continue supporting practitioners in all fields.
EMCC Definition of Supervision
EMCC Global’s definition of supervision is
A safe space for reflective dialogue with a practicing supervisor, supporting the supervisee’s practice, development, and well-being.
The purpose of supervision is
1. To ensure the supervisee maintains appropriate professional standards
2. To facilitate the development of the supervisee’s professional practice
3. To provide support for the supervisee’s well-being
We have recently updated our Supervision Guidelines. These can be downloaded here
Link to download Supervision Guidelines 2022
We hope this is a useful guide to supervision, what it is and the vital role it plays in upholding standards and building the profession.
Should you wish to support EMCC Global’s ‘Supervision Centre for Excellence’, or have any unanswered questions, please send us an email at: centresforexcellence@emccglobal.org
The EMCC Global Supervision Framework
EMCC Global takes the approach that competence frameworks can be helpful triggers for dialogue and debate; they can provide practitioners, trainers, and assessors with valuable reference material; they act as a container for ideas and help answer the question ‘what does good look like?’
At the same time, EMCC Global accepts that competence frameworks only tell part of the story, and some of the core qualities of the person cannot be captured in frameworks and definitions.
EMCC Global has a framework for supervision which has evolved based on research and feedback over the years, the full version of which can be downloaded here. It contains eight core competences, as described below:
Contracting
Manages the Supervision Contract and Process
The Functions of Supervision
Facilitates Development
Provides support
Promotes Professional Standards
The Capacity of the Supervisor
Self-Awareness
Relationship Awareness
Systemic Awareness
Working with Groups
Facilitates Group Supervision
These competence headings are supported by about 40 behavioural indicators. It is not expected that every supervisor should exhibit each one of these, or treat them as a checklist. Rather, they are intended to stimulate awareness and promote understanding.
Link to download Supervision Competence Framework
Networking Groups
There are a range of membership networks and groups supporting continuing professional development and research in the field of supervision. Active supervisors are encouraged to participate in these in order to remain current and connected to the latest developments in theory and practice.
