Thinking about supervisory in the context of a relationship creates more influential professional interactions that benefit both the supervisor and supervisee.

It is important to acknowledge that our past experiences influence our current supervisory relationships. Supervisors can learn to construct their own positive and purposeful approach to supervising and mentoring others.
