We will teach you one method of coaching which in our experience gets you the best and fastest results with your coachees – even if you are an inexperienced coach.

The elements are:

• The Coaching Process: Which steps do I follow in a conversation to get my coachee from “confused” to “here’s what I should do next!”
• How to ask groundbreaking questions that lead to AHA-moments?
• Coaching attitudes: Mindsets and ways of thinking that we have to accept and cultivate ourselves if we wanna be helpful for other people’s growth. 25% of coaching is knowing the method. 75% is doing your own personal work.

We will presuppose that you have heard about things like “active listening”, “the feedback sandwich” (as much as we dislike it) or “fixed mindset versus growth mindset”. Unlike many other coaching trainings we won’t dwell much on mundane questions like “What is a coach?” or “Did you know that people have different learning styles – like: through listening to a theory, by experiencing something or by doing it?” If you are moderately interested in personal growth or even just yoga, you will do just fine.

YES! You will find that a lot of what we say you might have heard before. But you probably won’t have heard it at that level of precision or that condensed. This course literally teaching the essentials of breakthrough coaching. It will very likely give you new insights and shortcuts to give you better results with your own clients.

Great point! You do not HAVE to get certified. The certification involves the following steps: 

1. You complete all modules of the online course
2. You complete 10+ sessions as a coachee and 20+ sessions as a coach (the sessions do not have to be with members of your Mastermind. If you do take up other coachees, we demand a minimum of 3 sessions per coachee for them to be counted)
3. You document all sessions and have received feedback from your coachees
4. You hand in a 2-4 page reflection of your journey as a coach: My motivation, my insights, my next obstacles and my next steps incl. future teachers, peer group and self-growth ambitions

All of these have to be completed no later than 3 months after the end of the programme. If all steps are completed a certificate will be sent to you. 

Please note that all steps are subject to scrutiny, meaning that if there are substantial doubts of your ability to coach with competence and integrity we may withhold the certification until these concerns are resolved. 

You can meet as much as you want. But if you meet every week, you will get 12 session as a coachee and 24 sessions as practice coach.

Please note that this is the maximum. People tend to need a lot less to reach their objective. It is however possible to agree on follow-on objectives. We will ask you to schedule appropriate intervals with your Mastermind. 

Hehe. Cheeky question. Having witnessed coaching certifications across Europe and taught dozens of people how to coach here’s what we have noticed: Whether you go through a 10h or 120h coaching certification does not make the biggest difference. Practice is what makes the biggest difference and the degree to which coaches can hold space. In our world this is indicative of how much personal growth they themselves have undergone.

Yet: All starting coaches battle with similar questions. We learned it is more effective to deliver a short training and help them figure out these questions in comparison to giving them an extensive training but then leaving them alone on the job.

Hence, we completely redesigned coaching education in a way that makes people “ready enough” for the next step. Here they learn coaching WHILE doing it.

Our certification is not recognised by ICF, but you will get the hang of coaching by the end of it. It’s a solid crash course.

Being recognised by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) is important for some professional coaches. ICF asks for a minimum  of 60 classroom hours, hence ICF-recognized courses are very pricey. We think that more hours doesn’t necessarily improve quality, but we understand that ICF has to come up with some indicator to compare different certification bodies worldwide.
