Recording: S'Vision when you aren't the smartest in the room

This webinar was delivered live on October 27th 2026.

Supervisors may naturally feel challenged when their supervisees have more experience or expertise in certain areas of practice than they do. It’s not uncommon for Supervisors to carry some pressure to be the “expert” in the room - but what if supervision doesn’t require that at all?

This webinar invites a redefinition of “expertise,” exploring how the role of the Supervisor can shift from knowledge-holder to reflective facilitator. We’ll consider how a clear supervision contract and thoughtful onboarding process can set expectations that support this stance from the outset.

Together, we’ll explore frameworks that allow supervisees to bring their own skills and expertise, while you hold the process with steadiness and confidence. The content will be supported by a live demonstration of a role play supervision session.
