You learn how to build a relationship in which trust, equality and safety are central. You develop the sensitivity and awareness to be present with the other person and what is going on. This forms the basis for real change.
Through questions you learn how to support someone to stand still, find clarity and see new possibilities. Not by giving the answer or a fixed list of questions, but by asking exactly what invites reflection and movement.
Learn how to guide others in strengthening their relationships; in teams, with colleagues, with themselves or in collaboration. You will increase awareness of underlying patterns and create space for more connection and trust.
You will learn support to examine ingrained beliefs and blind spots. This creates space for new perspectives and more conscious choices, essential for growth, collaboration and leadership.
You develop the art of real listening. Not only to words, but also to what is not being said. You increase your presence and learn to pick up on signals at different levels, including content, feeling, nonverbal and intent.
Learn how to get individuals and teams to take action in a way that rings true and sticks. From ownership, motivation and commitment. Not by pushing, but by facilitating what is already potentially present.
If you as a student choose certification, you will take a written and an oral exam – after a mentor coaching program. Both exams are subject to a one-time retake if applicable.
This coach training is for (future) coaches who want to start their own business or work as a coach within an organization.

Coaching is not just a skill; it is a way of being. It requires authenticity, empathy, 100% presence and a strong awareness of ethics, your own (pre-)judgments, emotions and behavior. As a coach, you need to create a safe and supportive environment in which your coachees can express themselves, reflect and grow.
You coach and are coached during this training. So you will not only learn the skills, but also develop self-insight and your own coaching style. You will practice with a coaching mindset, ethics and the ICF competencies, so that you can coach others effectively and sincerely.
Coaching extends beyond 1-on-1 conversations. You learn to use coaching as a leadership and communication style. This strengthens ownership, cooperation and trust in teams, projects and organizations. You become more flexible, effective and meaningful in your role as a coach or leader.
A team is more than the sum of individuals. You learn to look at the mutual dynamics and (invisible) patterns. From this systems thinking you guide teams in growth, cooperation and change with an eye for the whole and the undercurrent.
Co-Creation is one of the few trainers in the Netherlands accredited as an ACTP/Level 2 training by the world’s largest coaching organization, the International Coaching Federation (ICF). In addition, the training is accredited by NRTO and affiliated with NOBCO and ACTO.

Yes. Coaching begins with self-knowledge. You work on personal learning goals from the start and reflect on your attitudes, behaviors and beliefs. This is how you get to know yourself better and can truly be there for another.
After each module you will receive 2x 2 hours of supervision. You work in small groups (triads) in which you coach, are coached and observe. A certified supervisor guides this process and gives you targeted feedback on your coaching.
With your group, you organize a day of training/coaching for a nonprofit organization. Together you develop a program from A to Z and put your knowledge and skills into practice. A valuable learning process and contribution to a good cause.
You will stay at Landgoed De Hoevens in Alphen (NB), a quiet, rural place with all modern comforts. The ‘Flemish Barn’ is available exclusively for the training. You stay overnight on location (private or shared room). Cooking yourself contributes to connection and group feeling.

You develop a coaching leadership style that encourages ownership, commitment and growth in your team. You learn to listen better, ask questions and provide constructive guidance. This not only results in better conversations, but also more connection and results.
