Transformational coaching

Description

Do you wish to develop your coaching skills? Do you wish to reflect deeply on yourself? And would you like to give a boost to your personal development? Then this summer school might be just the thing for you! In one week you will learn many skills you can use as a coach and as a leader. You will learn to connect more easily to people, you will learn to listen to others on the level of their emotions, needs and values. And you will learn how to inspire people to take action on what they really want. Last year's edition was appreciated by participants with an average of 9.3 out of 10.

After this course you will have greatly expanded your coaching skills. At the same time, you will have learned a lot about yourself. At the beginning of the course you will set a number of goals for yourself and you will be coached by classmates to achieve those. In this course you will learn to find a better balance between heart and mind in order to become a more complete person. We will be exploring ourselves deeply in order to be able to contribute more to our communities.

This course is intended for:

• People that already have experience with coaching
• Professionals that want to develop their coaching skills to strengthen their (personal) leadership
• People that want to work deeply on their personal development

For people that are looking for a course on the fundamentals of coaching, please consider the UU Summerschool Fundamentals of Coaching that runs from July 15 to 26.

We intend for participants from many different countries and cultures to come together in an atmosphere of respect, inspiration and fun to grow together. The course will be taught by a number of expert trainers and coaches. This course is offered in partnership with the Online Coaching Academy.
