The EFFECTIVE COACHING training program has a mission to enable organizations to enjoy the benefits of coaching-based leadership.
The main benefits for organizations are:
1. An increased advantage in the market place through:

I’d like participants of this training program to grow as a group, to learn from each other and to embark on a journey which includes many aspects of self-assessment, the development of various effective Coaching skills and ultimately applying those Coaching skills in your organization.
By integrating effective Coaching on the level of the organizational culture, on the level of the various teams and on the level of the individual, it provides organizations with a crucial element of leadership to master the challenges of the 21th century.

Tasks
To successfully complete this training program, please make sure to follow the tasks provided here:
• Be fully present and proactive when going through the various exercises provided in the course manuals/ during the workshop.
• Go through the success factors of effective Coaching and gain knowledge on why they matter and how they work.
• Be sure to plan sufficient time for the tasks required between each individual Workshop.
• Start to create your personal Effective Coaching Playbook (either as a virtual playbook or using a hard copy), in which you will gradually add content throughout the training program. The content will consist of different elements such as Workshop Exercises, reflections after a Workshop, your Challenge Map and Coaching sessions. The tasks provided below will help you create your personal Effective Coaching Playbook (ECP).
Please remember that it is essential to continuously work on implementing Effective Coaching by going through the tasks between each Workshop.
Following the 1st Workshop, the specific tasks you need to work on before the 2nd Workshop takes place are the following:
1. Within the first 24 hours after the Workshop:
Take your time to reflect on the first Workshop of Effective Coaching “Neuroscience & Coaching” and answer the following five questions in your Effective Coaching Playbook:
1.1. What was my personal key take-away from the Workshop?
1.2. Which learning struck me the most?
1.3. What do I want to achieve through effective Coaching?
1.4. Do I have any doubts with regards to effective Coaching?
1.5. Is there anything else I’d like to write down…?
2. Before the 2nd Workshop takes place
For Effective Coaching to be a success for you, there is more to it than learning the skills and tools. Organizational support and your own thinking about the approach are crucial elements that need to be taken into account. To do so, go through the following two questions and write your answers into your Effective Coaching Playbook:
2.1 Is there anything that you need in terms of organizational support to be able to apply Effective Coaching in your area of responsibility? If yes, how can you get it and who do you need to talk to first?
2.2 What can you personally do in your role to promote an effective Coaching spirit in your team and with those you closely work with?
Step-by-step start to make Effective Coaching a natural way of being in your daily human to human interactions. To do so effectively, team up with someone who is on the same learning journey with you.
2.3 Find yourself an Effective Coaching Partner (ECP) for the duration of the training program and potentially beyond. The purpose of your Effective Coaching partner is to help you improve your Coaching skills, challenge your thoughts and provide a learning opportunity in a safe environment. In case of an uneven number of participants in a Workshop, you can also join a group of three.
You and your ECP should have at least one meeting (virtual or face-to-face) between each Workshops.
Introduction
Why effective Coaching matters
To ensure their business runs as smoothly as possible, successful management teams have established various processes within their organizations.
And while there are hundreds of different processes to keep the business running efficiently, leader often struggle to properly address the human aspect in problem solving.
Yet, without a superb process that focuses on people skills, executives, managers and others in leadership positions will at one point run into difficulties:
Weather it’s dissatisfied or frustrated team members on the personal level or poor business results on the level of the organization, the consequences of poor or missing people skills are real and costly for organizations of all sizes. These consequences not only hurt bottom line results, but also prevent companies from attracting top-talents who are eagerly searching for a collaborative work environment.
This leads to an important question:
How can leadership teams best address the human aspect to ensure their teams and companies remain attractive and don’t fall behind?
The question leads to a simple answer:
By establishing an effective Coaching process.
A process that will have an influence on the organizational culture, your personal values and your current leadership style.
What Workshop 1 is about in a nutshell:
Based on recent advancements in neuroscience, you will be introduced to how Effective Coaching works and how it enables you to put emotional intelligence into action.
For Coaching to be successfully applied in an organization, two elements are crucial:
1. Scientific basis
The Coaching tools and methods presented need to be backed by research in terms of its effectiveness.
Effective Coaching is based on neuroscience and psychology, but also economics (behavioral economics) and biology (e.g., evolutionary biology)
2. Real life results
The Coaching tools and methods need to be effective in real-business situations that work for different types of human interactions in the workplace.
Effective Coaching is based on the experience of thousands of Coaching hours gathered by experienced Coaches with various backgrounds and client groups.
The backgrounds vary from systemic Coaching to Neuro Linguistic Programming, to emTrace – just to name the most prominent Coaching approaches that inspired me each when creating this Training Program for organizations.
These Coaching approaches and the processes behind them have been tried and tested to help Coachees for various topics. Some of the most relevant topics are individual performance improvements, conflict handling or relationship topics in teams and problem-solving capabilities.
And while this training focusses on organizations, it’s important to notice that many of the skills of effective Coaching could also be applied in other areas of life such as personal conflicts or personal goal setting.
This training program has a foundation that is built on both aspects – input from research & practical success stories and relevance.
It’s especially important that the methods, techniques, tools and concepts presented add value to your work and your leadership role. Feel encouraged to apply them right away to coach yourself and those you work with. Whether it’s various types of questions, goal-setting conversations, handling emotions during conflicts or empowering team members during challenging times – the tools and techniques always need to pass the test of real business challenges before you or those you work with fully accept them.
That is normal human behavior and it’s therefore perfectly fine, if you take your time to appreciate the value of effective Coaching.
It also means that you as a participant are partly responsible for th
