individual coaching (one-on-one); tandem coaching (1 client & 2 coaches or two-on-two)
"Great results begin with great questions" (Marilee Adams). We understand coaching as a consulting process with a focus on individual resources and solutions, on a par with our client(s). We support clients in developing systemic perspectives, building awareness and making desired changes happen. Issues may include: leadership, communication and conflict behaviour, coping with challenge and change, work- and life balance, career choices, etc.
teams & groups
team development
Team development is an investment in human potential- and organisational development. Taking into account the particular dynamics of your organisation, we will work out a concept that helps you build potential (communication and leadership skills, team contribution, customer orientation, etc.) and strengthen your team’s overall performance. Team development is an iterative process of intervention, implementation and reflection/evaluation of actual vs. desired changes. Objectives may include: team forming or rebuilding, vision & strategy development, interface management, trusted co-operation, etc.
conflict management
It is widely known that conflicts between individuals or groups will reduce your company’s performance and ability to grow. Usually, conflicts are the immediate result of structural or procedural changes (staffing choices, management & leadership changes, re-engineering projects, mergers, etc.) and always the consequence of a lack of communication about the interests and needs of the parties involved. We can help you settle conflicts in a win-win manner and build stronger bonds that will enhance your organisation’s conflict culture.
process & meeting facilitation
For small and large(r) groups; in today’s workplace, it is commonplace to deliver performance across different functions/departments and locations. Workshops, vision- or strategy summits, annual meetings, etc. are special occasions for group or team members to connect on a personal level. A professional facilitator understands the need to maintain the critical balance between business objectives and people needs. He/she utilises all available resources to produce viable results, encourages the equitable involvement of all participants, and so helps team members to connect on a deeper personal level for an even better co-operation in the future.
peer coaching
Peer coaching is a consulting practice for professionals with comparable backgrounds and levels of responsibility. As a group process, facilitated by an experienced coach, it draws on the plentiful resources and competences of managers and leaders, who engage in continuous (self-)reflection and the development of creative solutions in the face of challenging work issues. Peer coaching encourages group learning and supports participants to build solution-focused coaching and consulting skills of their own. This fosters the build-up of a culture of trusted co-operation and shared organisational values. Setting: in-house, 5 to 8 participants, kick-off event, periodic meetings every 4-6 weeks; one-off or embedded in leadership programmes, change projects or as a follow-up to workshops/trainings.
organisations
organisational development
Organisations are complex, non-linear systems, whose problems and solutions are embedded in a logic beyond cause-and-effect. Our change interventions aim to generate truly innovative solutions from within the organisation by soliciting the co-operation of the different levels affected by change. As consultants, we are committed to the principles of transparency (identify and deliver to objectives), sustainability (monitor implementation, review progress), and value creation through appreciation. We support/work on: strategic reorientation, company vision & mission, culture change, cultural due diligence, post-merger integration, conflict management, decision-making capabilities, etc.
leadership development
We strongly believe in the paradigm of modern systems- and organisational theory: leadership is not a privilege but a service, and every act of leadership a conscious and purposeful intervention into the self-directed collaboration of people in organisations. Effective and sustainable leadership is not only about knowing and applying “the tools of the trade”; it rather starts with the ability to lead oneself, to cope well with pressure and change, to provide a sense of direction, maintain dialogue and to engage in continuous learning. Overall, we view leadership development as a highly rewarding investment in organisational culture and effectiveness. Our leadership development programmes are tailored to suit your organisation’s individual requirements.
