Conceived and designed with the HR and Transformation leader in mind, this program envisions to deliver a state of the art Coaching Certification program that will address the heart of HR coaching challenges and 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 trained qualified coaches who undertake A-Z coaching assignments with colleagues outside their line management responsibilities.
You will be able to coach with a pragmatic and brief coaching methodology, the Solution Focus which is particularly fit for the fast-paced everyday conversations in business.
You will learn how to use tested, practical internal coaching tools tailored to leadership and performance based on our experience of designing internal coaching programs since 2002.
You will be able to design and manager an A-Z Internal Coaching assignement as you will be equipped with a full internal 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 organisation will get high ROI from a professional internal coaching service, and HR will grow its impact through supporting capacity building and transformation through coaching leaders through it.
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.
