Lead Better

Why work with Erin Spavin?

Erin has completed accreditation as a Professional Supervisor and is committed to creating warm and safe environments for deeply reflective conversations. Over two decades, Erin has worked in large, multi-staff organizations and has a unique capacity to understand systems and the people working within those systems. As an Arrow Australia alumni, Erin brings a rich perspective to Professional Supervision drawing from her Master of Leadership.

Erin’s undergraduate studies in Theatre and Theology set the foundation for her curiosity for stories and narrative threads. Erin has the ability to hear and translate nuance in vocal intonation, word selection and the repeated ideas, concepts and images weaved into reflective conversations which help the Supervisee to make illuminating connections. Combined with her understanding of body language and how a Supervisee communicates through body, space and breath, Erin brings an emotional presence to Supervision that unlocks insightful learning.

After working in the Education sector for 15 years, Erin is acutely aware of the invisible emotional labour connected to the work of Education, Ministry and other helping professions. Practitioners working in helping roles will benefit from the confidential space Erin creates to reflect thoughtfully on decision-making with a structured framework. Erin is dynamic and empathetic and communicates with great openness and authenticity. As a Supervisor, she is skilled at using creative prompts to help Supervisees unlock and articulate ideas, feelings and questions. Erin understands the impact of poor work cultures and is passionate about seeing better leaders lead better!
