Coaching is more than having a good conversation. You learn to listen to what is not being said, to recognize signals in the undercurrent and to tune into them with sharpness and softness.
You develop the skill to give honest feedback that touches and helps. So that you don’t beat around the bush, but maintain the relationship.
Good questions encourage thinking as well as feeling. You will learn how to use open, curious questions to create space for insight, reflection and real change.
You not only learn to coach, but also to know yourself better. As a result, you will become more solidly connected, work more smoothly with others and make an easier impact in your work.
Coaching skills are becoming increasingly important both in the workplace and in our daily lives.
Self-managing teams, flatter organizations and the pace of development of the environment around us all play a role here. The contemporary supervisor can improve the learning and performance capacity of others by not leading from orders and instructions, but by transforming the talents and wishes of the other into ambitions and results!
Coaching Essentials is designed for professionals who want to develop or strengthen coaching skills. Think of beginning coaches, executives, HR professionals, healthcare providers, teachers or team leaders.
You do not need to have coaching experience, curiosity and a desire to learn are sufficient.
You’ll discover if the coaching profession suits you and learn to have conversations that really make a difference.

ICF stands for International Coaching Federation. This is the world’s leading organization for professional coaching, with a strong focus on quality, ethics and continuous development. An ICF certification guarantees that as a coach you work according to international standards.
Transformational coaching focuses not just on behaviors or skills, but on deeper layers of consciousness, beliefs and identity. It helps people achieve lasting change, from greater insight and connection with themselves. Read more about transformational coaching. LINK
Coaching Essentials is distinguished by its small-scale format, personal attention and experienced trainers. We work in small groups, allowing for real interaction, reflection and direct feedback.
Our trainers are certified (ICF and/or NOBCO) and bring years of practical experience. We combine their expertise with an experiential approach: you learn primarily by doing, not by theory alone.
In addition, we align with the ICF coach competencies, so you build a solid foundation that can also lead toward professional certification.
Finally, this coach training is strongly linked to our vision: coaching starts with real connection – with yourself and with the other. You feel that from day one.
No. A coach does not advise, but asks questions and creates space for reflection. The power of coaching is in increasing self-insight and encouraging one’s own solutions, rather than providing answers.
The training consists of three consecutive days. You work intensively on your coaching skills and practice with real conversations. Theory, self-reflection and practical exercises alternate. What you learn can be used immediately in your work and context.
Very hands-on. You coach and are coached from day one. We work with real situations, not role plays. You practice, reflect and get direct feedback from trainers and fellow participants. This way you learn by doing.
Coaching Essentials is a compact and intensive three-day basic training course. It gives you a solid foundation in coaching. Would you like to go deeper, get certified or focus on team coaching? Then after this training you can move on to the Co-Creation coaching course.
The training is given at college working and thinking level
Yes, after attending the three days of training and active participation, you will receive a certificate of participation from Intention.

Yes. The Coaching Essentials training is intensive but short, three days in a row. The practical approach allows you to immediately apply what you have learned in your daily practice.
