[acb-hsp] Characteristics of An Ideal Supervisor

[Yvonne]

My supervisor at the domestic violence shelter had most of the qualities, I
learned so much from her. To bad funds have been cut so much there is pretty
much no hope of me working there.

 

I am actually thinking of becoming a life coach, that way I can work for
myself. Does anyone have any experience with life coaches?

How many of your supervisors have or have had these?  Or, do you?  <smiles>
