Bright Side work has been formally supervised since 2002.  We believe that it is an ethical imperative for executive coaches to receive consultation and supervision in relation to their client work as well as for their personal development.

From 2002, until his untimely death from cancer in 2009, Georgina was supervised by Dr David Campbell MA PhD, author, academic, organisational consultant & lead clinical psychologist at the Tavistock Clinic in London.

David Campbell originally trained as a clinical psychologist before specialising in organisational consultancy.  He was a pioneer in developing systemic thinking and applying it to working with teams and services, mainly in the public sector.

David's work and thinking remains a key influence upon Georgina's coaching practice .  He published widely over many years and the two most recent volumes prior to his death wereTaking Positions in the Organisation (Campbell & Groenbaek, 2006) and Organisations Connected: A Handbook of Systemic Consultation (Campbell & Huffington, 2008, in press [eds]) - for which Georgina Noakes & Myrna Gower from Bright Side Productions contributed a chapter entitled Coaching Lawyers to Lead.  Both books and a full range of other titles by David are available from www.karnacbooks.com 

There are poems dedicated to David and his wife in Georgina's first slim volume of poetry Golden Threads, published on 31 October 2011.  See Home Page for link to order a copy.

Georgina is now supervised by someone working in a different but connected arena to David - details of which are to be announced shortly (November 2011).
