How do I regain active status if it lapses?
If your active status lapses because you did not register your supervisor by the annual deadline, you can regain it by registering a current supervisor and confirming that supervision has continued. Your certification is never lost — only your "active" status is paused until the registration is complete.
Can I coach internally even if I'm not active?
A non-active coach may not practice KIT-Coaching internally or externally, present themselves as a KIT Coach, or use KIT-Coaching tools in a formal coaching capacity. However, you may still use leadership tools, communication models, and general developmental conversations in your managerial or organizational role — as long as you do not refer to it as KIT-Coaching and do not position yourself as a coach. To resume coaching, you must reactivate your status.
How do I switch supervisors?
You are free to change supervisors at any time. Register the new supervisor through the annual registration or via the online profile update form. There is no penalty or delay when changing supervisors, as long as supervision continues.
What if I disagree with a supervision recommendation?
Raise the concern directly with your supervisor for clarification. If the issue remains unresolved, you may seek a second opinion from another approved supervisor. For ethical or structural concerns, you may contact the Supervision Committee for guidance. Disagreement is not viewed negatively. The process exists to support reflective practice, not to impose judgement.
Can I coach while also being someone's manager?
Yes — but only under strict boundary clarity, and only if both parties understand the distinction between coaching and managerial roles, conversations clearly identify which role you are acting in, there are no conflicts of interest or ongoing HR processes, and the employee feels free to decline coaching without consequence. In many cases, it may be more appropriate to avoid coaching direct reports due to power dynamics. If in doubt, consult your supervisor.
What is the annual requirement?
Each year, you confirm who your supervisor is. That is all. No reports. No accumulated hours. No refresher courses. The annual supervisor registration confirms that you remain in active supervision and keeps the public registry accurate.
