Meeting and Developing Your Own Inner-Supervisor
In this second of a 2-part workshop series, Gillian Walter & Shirley Smith briefly recap how Gillian’s creative interpretation of the 7-Eyed Model of Supervision offers powerful inner supervisor experiences and how working with image and metaphor this way supports our own supervision work. This session is experiential and participants will play with metaphor and creative lenses to use their own inner-critics as a supervisory resource. Participants are invited to develop their own inner-supervisor and how to show up at their very best in all client work.
Participants work confidentially through actual supervision cases using the The 7-Eyed Model of Supervision with a creative twist – According to Winnie the Pooh.
- This is not a lesson in the 7-Eyed Model
- Participants do not need to know the stories of Winnie the Pooh (these are just used as an example)
- This is an experiential session

Gillian’s first book Choir of Brave Voices is a light-hearted, yet transformational, seasonal journey…speak from our most authentic Brave Voice’ calms stress, deepens reflection, widens perspectives and increases mental, emotional and physical resourcefulness.
Shirley has extensive experience in cross-cultural work as a coach, mentor and supervisor of coaches and mentors. She often works with people who are working across cultures and might themselves be living in a different country from where they were born. Perhaps thinking in or speaking a language that is not their mother tongue. As a coach, supervisor and facilitator creative tools provide a gateway to a different way framing themes, discovering possibilities and expressing difficult emotions or dynamics when our constraint of language cannot readily or easily express what we are feeling or experiencing. From first-hand experience Shirley believes that imagery, art-based and embodied approaches can work both in-person and virtually. These are tools and skills that anybody can learn. Shirley has fine-tuned her skills in working with creative tools on a foundation of over 30 years in global human resource roles enabling both organisational and leadership development.
