Conceived and designed with the HR and/or Transformation leader in mind, this program envisions to deliver a state of the art coaching certification program that will address the full spectrum of coaching competencies, equip participants with in depth coaching skills as well as practical tools designed and tested to work within organisations.
As Internal Coaching, we define a coaching process supported by the organisation and provided by internal coaches who are members of the same organisation and are trained in professional coaching. Internal coaches undertake coaching assignments with coachees/clients within the same organisation, yet outside their own line management responsibilities.
Internal Coaching is amongst the most powerful interventions to build a coaching culture, to support transformation and agility of organisations.
You will be able to coach with a pragmatic and brief coaching methodology, the Solution Focus which is particularly fit for the business environment.
You will learn how to use tested, practical coaching tools tailored to leadership and performance based on our experience of implementing coaching within organisations.
You will be able to design and manage an A-Z coaching assignment as you will be equipped with a full coaching KIT. Everything from the Coaching forms, to the detailed process steps, all the key factors to anticipate in communicating the program internally and educating the involved stakeholders (prospective coachees, coachees' bosses, top management).
As a coach you will feel empowered with a Solution Focused coaching mindset, your clients will get high ROI from a professional coaching service, and HR will grow its impact through supporting capacity building and transformation through coaching leaders through it.
Should you decide to work as an external coach, you will be even more equipped to handle executive coaching assignments as internal coaching is amongst the most complex forms of coaching offerings.
The program is offered in GREEK both ONLINE and ONSITE format.

I had the opportunity to work with Atom Wave several times during the last years. Recently, I participated to the Solution focused internal coach certification. During this fantastic journey, I discovered myself and invented another way to make my work inspirational, transformational and source of development for people. I strongly recommend this program which changes our way of thinking. Atom Wave is a value adding business partner.

Using solution focus methodology helps you to delve deeper into a person's issue and shows the path for improvement/change without making any reference to the problem itself at all. As a coach you need to focus on the person's strengths & achievements, trigger the proper questions and the solution is there coming straight away from the coachee himself/herself it's amazing!

Our coaching methodology is based on the Solution Focus. The approach values practicality and is especially suited for working with leaders within organisations. The focus is on working with people strengths through defining the what is wanted, discovering the what is working and what contributed to that and on making practical progress. It leads to a positive and pragmatic way to work within organisations and beyond coaching it is helping instill a new culture of addressing people at their resources.

Business Impact and measuring ROI is a core area of our own research about coaching and and as such we have incorporated in our ACSTH "Internal Coach Certification" program a simple yet effective methodology to calculate ROI of your internal coaching assignments.
