What If Your Doubts Are Trying to Help You? Most coaches are familiar with self-doubt. Am I doing this right? Am I asking the right questions? Am I living up to what I was taught? Am I good enough? In a fascinating conversation on The Coaching Supervision Casebook Podcast, coaching supervisor Steve Benson challenges the assumption that doubt is always something to eliminate. Instead, he invites us to consider a different possibility: what if some doubts are actually useful?
In this episode of The Coaching Supervision Casebook Podcast, Eve Turner and Jo Cleary unpack Eve’s case study from the book, revealing how recordings can move us beyond our subjective memory of events and the missed opportunities that might otherwise pass unnoticed.

Many coaches know supervision matters—but far fewer truly understand what it looks like in practice. That's why I wrote and edited The Coaching Supervision Casebook, published by Routledge. The book's mission is simple: to make coaching supervision practical, accessible, and far less intimidating, so more coaches can confidently engage with it. To accompany the book’s publication, I'm launching The Coaching Supervision Casebook Podcast. In each episode, I'll be joined by one of the contributing authors to explore a real case study and bring the NEEDS Framework to life. Follow now and join the conversation.
