Description
The main roles of the clinical supervisor (client protection, professional development of the supervisee, and gatekeeping for the field) often require having difficult conversations and identifying areas of deficiency and need. Skill is necessary for those messages to be given in such a way that they are most likely to be received in the spirit in which they were intended. This presentation will offer skills to the clinical supervisor where such honesty can be presented, using what author Kim Scott has termed “radical candor.”
