Today's episode is a solo episode in which I share how we can use models of practice to strengthen the supervisory relationship. This is relevant for both supervisors and those being supervised. I discuss: * Why this topic is so important for supervisors and supervisees * Using Social Graces to strengthen the supervisory relationship * Using the Mandela Model to strengthen the supervisory relationship * A breakdown of both models and how to use them within the supervisory relationship * Questions you can ask to develop these conversations and discussions I refer to a Research in Practice document within this episode which is great for supervisors in encouraging conversations about Social Graces in supervision and team meetings.
