Working on yourself
Good (coaching’s) tools are half the job. The other half is the coach’spersonality. It is not just about applying the right tools, techniquesand methods at the right time in guiding the client. The coach’spersonal development level is just as important. The more the coach hasworked on his or her own personal development, the more able he or shewill be to help the client. During our classes we will address theseissues in depth. You will also write a report with your fellowclassmates about your development and you will discuss this with themas well.
 
Development as life coach
Just like working on personal growth, your development as a coach is anintegral part of the training courses. To truly understand theprofession of life coach we will pay attention to various aspects ofsetting up one’s own coaching agency..

Communication techniques
The success of Life Coaching is strongly dependent on propercommunication skills and report between coach and client. Only when theclient completely trusts the coach, can he or she arrive at a deepinsight and lasting changes. During our course, the most importantconversation techniques will be addressed in the fields of coachingcounseling and psychotherapy.

Meditation
Often a day of classes will start off with meditation. Throughmeditation you will develop a balanced mind and will come in to contactwith the core of your being. It will also teach you how to relax bodyand mind on a deep level. In the classes different forms of meditationfrom different traditions are treated. Examples are silent meditation,mantra meditation, meditation focused on the body, breathingmeditation, visual meditation and musical meditations. You willexperience firsthand which form fits you the best. We will also addresshow to teach a client to meditate and how to coach them in thisprocess.

Practicing techniques
During classes we will practice the techniques with which the studentslearn how to help themselves and also get acquainted with LifeCoaching. Apart from the teachers there are tutors who take care of thesupervising sessions. The students are encouraged to practiceeverything they have learned in terms of tools, techniques and methodsas much as they can and “try” them out on fellow students andcolleagues.

Supervision, evaluation and progress reports and conversations
Each student will also be attending supervision classes. This meansthere will be one or more supervisors present during class and theywill follow the progress a student has made by observing how well he orshe is able to use all tools learned so far in a client-coach setting.Regularly we will evaluate the development of each individual student.We will also talk to every student at set times to gauge the learningprocess firsthand and to deal with any questions or concerns that mayhave arisen during the course.
