Courses

Co-Active Coaching describes the dance between the coach and the client, which is created in the moment. It is a unique, proactive alliance in which coach and client work together as equals to meet the needs of the client.

Hands-on training provides a powerful introduction to the techniques and skills of Co-Active Coaching. The focus is on participation and practical experience rather than lecture, with numerous opportunities to coach and receive feedback on your newly acquired coaching skills. At the end of the course you will have a very clear idea just how coaching might fit into your life. The co-active workshops will be given in English by two experienced international coaches of the Coaches Trainings Institute (CTI).

Principles
The offered courses are designed to teach that subtle dance and focus on experiential learning where participants experience and practice coaching instead of just talking about it. CTI's coaching curriculum is designed to integrate Co-Active coaching competencies deeply in your being rather than in your head, so that you can be responsive in the moment to a variety of client types and needs. Once you have completed this curriculum you will have the ability to coach with confidence in your own personal, authentic style.

Who can benefit?
· individuals who want to become professional coaches;
· people wanting to acquire new communication and relationship skills in their work and personal environment-management: managers, HR business partners, health professionals, teachers, parents, etc.;
· individuals in vocational transition who want a new career.

Competences
In this training you will work on the following competences:
· Audacity
· Learning capacity interactively
· To listen
· To cooperate
· Link capacity

Homework
At the first day of every workshop you will receive the literature necessary for that workshop. During the evening hours of the course you could go through these materials, but this is not compulsory.
On the second day of the workshop you will be requested to have a coaching-conversation (by telephone) regarding a specific subject, with someone you know either work-related or privately. This will take about one hour of your time and the next morning the results of this coaching conversation will be evaluated in traids.
