Advanced Course II

Seeing the bigger picture
and working with focus

Systems are like tides:
They come and go, are always in motion and are powerful

The focus of the Advanced Course II is to enable the participant to work with groups, teams and departments in a coaching context and to develop the art of leading others without putting yourself in the foreground.

Responsible coaching in change and transformation processes with groups of people requires the ability to be in relationship in order to set in motion effective change impulses.

You learn the methods of seeing groups and teams as a system and recognizing the interdependence of systemic mechanisms. You learn to skillfully design change processes and carry them out with the buy-in of all parties.

Also, to lead teams to new possibilities and outcomes with methods of relating, working and communicating, to give empowering feedback, and to set stalled dynamics and dormant potential in motion.
