Abstract

The author describes the personal experience of coaching demo session followed by the supervisory analysis and feedback. Comments received can be divided into two groups. First — the comments that were given from the position of supervisor; each of the statements conveyed the feeling behind the observations, and professionalism. The second group, comments not related to my work or the client process, demonstrating observers’ own ideas. It is important that the Moderator closely followed the speciаfied format, and returned the process back to supervision format. The author notes the benefit of the event in this format, a rare opportunity for students mastering coaching —this format helps them work easier “to enter the profession”.
