STOP. This is a place of quiet reflection for coaches.
Your day is busy, and you have a thousand things to do. If you’ve landed here, I ask you to STOP, take a deep breath, and allow yourself a few moments of quiet reflection with me, Sam Magill.
Services
Sam works with internal and external coaches to establish a place of reflection to maintain the well-being of the coach and their well-earned competence.
It is not unusual for coaches to hold considerable stress and to slowly adapt themselves to the client and organization culture. None of this is wrong; it just needs to be managed.
“Maturing a crop of grapes is a very complex task. It involves so many factors and you can’t assume that year after year the maturation process will be the same. The same is true in maturing a coaching practice.“

Personal Statement:
Samuel P Magill
In the beginning of my coaching practice, I observed the power of individual development within systems while I was a consultant at The Boeing Company. Now in semi-retirement, the capacity to support coaches through coaching supervision provides enormous satisfaction and continued learning. It is my laboratory for learning about how people function in professional practice.
My vision of good work in supervision is discovery. The learning space co-habited by coach and supervisor can be heartful, courageous, insightful, and safe. I do not “provide” supervision, I “evoke” supervision – It is as if the coach / supervisee and I are hovering over a coaching case – almost like the Holodeck in Star Trek. We try to animate the many dynamics present in each unique case. Everything necessary to understand a case or topic is available in the here and now if only we are courageous enough to look at it.
This work begins with a stance of unconditional love, it is not about fixing anybody, it is not about me knowing more than the other. I want to evoke such insight that we can say together, “Wow, I never saw it that way before.”
If there is a fundamental model it is this, drawn from adult learning theory: experience plus reflection equals learning. That’s all we’re doing, it’s “simply supervision”!
