I liked to look at teachers when they were teaching in the class and day dreamed I would become a teacher one day too. In year 2001, I spent my time after PMR in hospital to take care of my grandmother. That was the first time I stayed in hospital and I saw how nurses and doctors were working.

My knowledge prior to beginning this course was based on two things. Firstly my experience of being supervised as a Support Worker over two years and secondly (and more recently) the supervision I had been providing for 5 months to my team of practitioners as a Service Delivery Manager for the same organization. I had also studied An Introduction To Counseling Skills, a ten week course, which introduced me to concepts such as active listening, and Rogers’ three core conditions. I felt that the supervision I was providing was competent, but wanted to affirm this feeling of competency, discover what more there was to supervision and learn about some less standard techniques to broaden my supervision skills. My supervision up until the point of beginning the course had very much been an emulation of the supervision I’d received myself as a practitioner.

I have enjoyed a twenty-four year career of public service. I can recall countless of lives that I touched as a Paramedic. Two instances that touched my life while helping people were, the patient experiencing a diabetic coma after a drop on blood sugar, and the mother with no prenatal care that waited until the last minute to give me the honor of delivering her child.
