In this first of a 2-part workshop series, Gillian Walter & Shirley Smith share how Gillian’s creative interpretation of the 7-Eyed Model of Supervision was born, how this metaphor brought about powerful inner supervisor experiences and how working this way can support our own supervision work. You will play with metaphors, perspectives and new ways of connecting to and developing who you are and how you work as a practitioner.
This workshop will bring the principles of Hawkins and Shoet’s 7-Eyed Model of Supervision to life BUT this is not a lesson on the 7-Eyed-Model of Supervision and participants do not need to know the model OR the stories of Winnie the Pooh to experience a new way to explore supervision!
Participants will be invited to work through actual supervision cases using the The 7-Eyed Model of Supervision as a creative way of noticing new perspectives in a simple, playful and lighthearted way – According to Winnie the Pooh!

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.
