Understanding communication - the basis of successful collaboration

You will learn about the different settings in coaching, from individual to group and team coaching, and find out how a coaching process is structured: from clarifying the assignment to defining objectives and evaluation. The role of diagnostics in coaching is also highlighted. You will learn how to precisely identify concerns and potential, select suitable interventions and effectively support change processes.

In addition, you will deal with proven methods in coaching, from questioning techniques and systemic approaches to resource-oriented methods. The module is supplemented by insights into current coaching research so that you can not only work practically, but also reflect on your actions scientifically.
