An experiential inquiry into how autobiography shapes co-coaching partnerships—and what supervision makes visible.

Something in us recognises something in them.

Beneath every co-coaching partnership lives a quieter story: our history with authority, partnership, visibility, conflict, loyalty, and endings.

This session, co-led by Sherry Matheson and Kerry Woodcock, explores how that history shapes:

the decision to co-coach… or to remain solo

who we are drawn toward—and who we quietly avoid

how we navigate rupture, misattunement, and repair

how (and whether) we stay, leave, or complete a co-coaching relationship

And importantly—what happens when these dynamics remain unseen.

Together, we will open a reflective space to explore:

how autobiographical patterns show up in the co-coaching field

the often unspoken tensions between role, relationship, and self

rupture and ending as developmental—not just relational—events

how supervision can surface and work with what cannot be seen alone

This is not a theoretical session. It is an experiential inquiry into the lived edge of co-coaching—where personal history meets systemic practice.

Expect a blend of:

guided reflection

paired and small group exploration

live supervision-style inquiry

and precise invitations to notice what you bring into partnership—and what remains just out of view

This session is for team coaches and supervisors who sense that: what happens between co-coaches is not just relational… it is autobiographical, systemic, and developmental.
