Systemic supervision for managers and teams

Reflection. Development. Quality assurance.

Systemic supervision is professional counseling for individuals, groups or teams – in companies as well as in the social, medical or educational sector.

In a protected environment, you can reflect on your professional challenges, discover new perspectives and strengthen your confidence to act. Supervision therefore not only supports the quality of your work, but also serves to promote mental hygiene and prevent burnout.

“Always treat hypotheses like birds flying around your head and avoid building a nest for them.”

Mit Rollenspiele und verschiedene andere Techniken neue Handlungsspielräume entdecken - Supervisorin Swetlana Kostadinowa-Rohde

I offer you individual and group supervision as well as team and case supervision – with experience, fine antennae, humor and a clear, systemic view. Structured processes, an appreciative atmosphere and lively impulses support you in gaining clarity and remaining capable of acting.

For teams and managers

Supervision offers the opportunity to reflect on how to deal with difficult situations, patients, clients or employees, particularly in an operational or healthcare context – e.g. in clinics, surgeries or care facilities. It can be used as a case discussion, to clarify roles and tasks or as support in crisis and conflict situations.

In business, people often talk about systemic business coaching – with the same goal: more clarity, professional distance and sustainable solutions.

What would you like to change?

  • Would you like to improve your relationships in a professional context?
  • Are you looking for distance and new impetus in dealing with current conflicts?
  • Does your team need more clarity about goals, roles and responsibilities?
  • Or would you like a trusting framework for joint development?

I will accompany you – professionally, empathetically and with an eye for systemic connections.

What you might want to know...

 

1. What is supervision?

Supervision is a professional counseling format for reflecting on professional issues. It offers space to clarify one's own actions, understanding of roles, communication or team dynamics - with the aim of improving the quality of work and cooperation.

2. Who is supervision suitable for?

For individuals, teams or groups who want to reflect on and develop their professional practice. Supervision is used particularly frequently in psychosocial, educational, medical, legal and non-profit-oriented fields of work, but also in companies and organizations.

3. What does supervision actually help with?

For example, it provides support with

  • Clarifying roles and responsibilities
  • Dealing with pressure and stress
  • Reflecting on relationships with clients, colleagues or superiors
  • Improving communication within the team
  • Dealing with conflicts or change processes
  • Personal and professional development

4. What is the difference between supervision, coaching and therapy?

Supervision focuses on professional action in the respective context. Coaching is usually more goal-oriented and often tailored to managers. Therapy, on the other hand, works with psychological or emotional issues that go beyond the professional sphere. The boundaries can be blurred - the context is decisive.

5. How does supervision work?

As a rule, supervision begins with a clarification of the assignment: What is the goal? Who is involved? How often do the sessions take place? In the sessions themselves, we work with specific cases, issues or dynamics - methodically varied, structured and in dialog.

6. How often does supervision take place and how long does it last?

That depends on the setting. For teams or groups, it is often regular sessions (e.g. monthly or every six to eight weeks). Individual supervision can also take place selectively or on an ad hoc basis. A session usually lasts 120 minutes.

7. What happens when sensitive or personal issues arise?

Supervision creates a protected space. Confidentiality and careful handling of personal issues are a matter of course. The rule is: everything can, nothing must - you decide what comes into the room.

8. Do we all have to “pull together” as a team for supervision to work?

Not necessarily. Different perspectives or tensions are normal and often even the starting point for important insights. What is important is a willingness to be open and engage in dialog.

9. What are the long-term benefits of supervision?

Supervision strengthens professional attitudes, promotes clarity and orientation, improves communication and thus makes a lasting contribution to job satisfaction, conflict resolution and team culture.

10. What does supervision cost?

The costs depend on the format (individual, team or group supervision), the time frame and the client (e.g. freelance or as part of an organization). You will receive a transparent offer after a preliminary discussion.

M. V., Manager and Dentist in a Dental Practice

Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde very quickly succeeded in strengthening us as a management team in structured coaching sessions and her professional feedback helped us a lot in the further development of our management style, the structure in our practice and also in holding team meetings to discuss current issues in order to avoid new conflicts.

Dr. P. B., Lecturer and Head of Department at a Berlin University

With a great deal of commitment, classic and unconventional training methods, she was able to sensitize the colleagues in our workshop “Team building through feedback”. For teachers, receiving personal feedback in a group of colleagues is an unusual situation. With her professional moderation and a great deal of sensitivity, she mastered this excellently and led the workshop to a "tangible" result in the form of feedback rules that we developed together with her. The result will accompany the colleagues in the department in their future work.

Dr. M. B., Engineer/Managing Director of a Company in the Aviation Industry

With her background in mediation and coaching and her skills as an intercultural trainer, she was able to guide the German-English team through the workshops. In linguistically very difficult situations and in heated discussions, she was able to contribute significantly to the success of the workshops through simultaneous interpreting. Ms. Kostadinowa impressed and inspired my colleagues and me with her engaging, people-oriented manner, her humor and her strong personality.

G. V., Dental Practice Manager

Both the team and my partner and I have come to know and appreciate Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde's warm-hearted manner, her humor and her structured leadership. She asks smart questions, picks up when things get very emotional, shows ways forward when one or the other is stuck in a mental dead end, is always empathetic and patient and continuously gives appreciative and helpful feedback. We all felt strengthened and understood by working with her. Her working style has also deepened the understanding between us and promoted cohesion. My partner and I now have a strong and motivated team that we enjoy working with every day.

S. K., Coffee Import Company Manager

I was given lots of energy and positive tips and left each session with lots of feedback and inspiration. Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde takes on the personal story - in her manager coaching sessions - and thus deals specifically with the individual professional situation. I always came away from a session feeling stronger and knowing that I could count on honest feedback from Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde. Thank you for your great support in my day-to-day work!

A. S., Remedial Teacher, Assisted Individual Living for Mentally Ill People

I met a woman who touched me with her authenticity, sensitivity and high level of professionalism. In the team supervision sessions, Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde ensures a balance between extroverted and introverted participants. I am particularly impressed by her sensitive attention to the words that are spoken and, above all, to the words that are not spoken. Recognizing the issues without judgment, with a clear focus on solutions, without losing the naturalness, I clearly name as an outstanding strength. I am grateful that Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde makes the world more understanding, clearer, happier and lighter. I wish Mrs. Kostadinowa-Rohde much health, strength and joy to continue to bring her great work into the world.

T. S., Dental Practice Manager

I had a team coaching session with my practice team and Ms. Kostadinowa over several sessions. The reason for this was to gain understanding for my colleagues and to achieve better cooperation in a growing team. Even though the team was a little skeptical at first about what to expect, Ms. Kostadinowa quickly won everyone over. Through several exercises and team tasks, we were able to grow together better and address problems openly. Even though everything is a process and takes time, it was helpful and also very informative for me as a manager. I can only recommend it to any manager who wants to grow together with their team. The employees were also able to learn something new, whether for their work or how to deal better with conflicts in their private lives in future.

C. S., IT Company Executive

Ms. Kostadinowa supported us in a complex process very competently, sensitively and with a lot of patience and thus contributed significantly to team improvements on various levels. I can recommend you and your skills!

J. S., Head of Daycare Center

We worked as a team with Ms. Kostadinowa-Rohde and it cleared up a lot of things and brought them to the surface, so that we now have a much better team atmosphere. I would work with her again at any time.

F. M., Research Center Manager

Ms. Kostadinowa has been accompanying my team and me as a conflict moderator and management coach for several years - whether in times of crisis due to Corona or when changes in the team, change processes, etc. have led to tensions in the team. She works with us primarily with the entire team, but sometimes also in pairs or in individual sessions - both in person and online. We are more than satisfied with her performance and look forward to further discussions with her. Thank you very much for your support.
