The program

  • Day 1
  • Day 2
  • Day 3
Day 1 | Goals, Desire and Mission
On the first day you will start practicing coaching skills right away. You will quickly learn what the difference is between an advisory conversation and a coaching conversation. You get a clear overview of competencies that you need to master to be a good coach. At the end of the day you have an answer to the questions: Who are you as a coach and who do you want to be as a coach?
Day 2 | Have a good coaching conversation
On the second day you will be given the most powerful coaching tools we could find and you will immediately practice with them. You will receive an explanation of themes such as the different levels of listening, asking powerful questions and the intake interview. So the second day is all about practice, practice and practice. A fun, intensive day.
Day 3 | Grounding and Landing
The last day is about grounding and landing for both yourself and the coachee. You will learn how to best deal with resistance in a conversation and what causes a conversation to not go well. You will also discuss your own limiting beliefs and practice with in-depth coaching methods such as the logical levels. You end the day with confidence about your newly learned skills.
