OUR TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP COACHING PROGRAM IS GOLD STANDARD
Second Freedom – Collaborate is a training in transformational leadership business coaching. It is aimed at executives, HR specialists ,and change agents who would like to further professionalize their skills in developing and coaching employees. It is also for potential or currently active coaches, who would like to build and expand their well-founded toolboxes with practical and highly transformational methods.
OUR CORE COACHING PRINCIPLES
Systemic Stance – At the heart of the training is the development and internalization of the systemic, resource-oriented, appreciative, and transformational work with people, which also allows us to be benevolently challenging in the service of others' growth. According to our understanding, this includes the ability to communicate with pinpoint empathy.
Competency Expansion – You will learn coaching methods that will help you to lead people much more effectively into responsibility instead of prescribing solutions or giving advice. As a result, intrinsically motivated behavioral changes become possible.
Experience-Based Personality Development – The principle of this training is based on one's own experiences. In doing, in experiencing, and in observing and reflecting. You will not only be active as a coach, but you will also take on the role of a coachee/client with your real-life issues. You will act as an observer and provider of high-quality feedback for the other participants.
DURATION
Six modules of three days each within 9-12 months.
TEAM
The training is conducted by two teaching coaches and alternating guest coaches.
SETTING
During the training, you will work with a maximum of 8-12 participants.
" You cannot teach man anything - you can only help him find it within himself. "

WHAT IS SYSTEMIC LEADERSHIP COACHING?
SYSTEMIC
Systemic-transformational coaching not only looks at the individual, but includes the environment, the context, and the resulting interactions. The approach assumes that every system creates its reality on the basis of the subjective perception, principles, and experiences of its system. This enables a remarkable appreciation of differences, behaviors, and reaction patterns.
COACHING
Coaching is an effective and sustainable form of adult-oriented development of people. In the sense of help for self-help, it activates ownership, intrinsic motivation, and one's own problem-solving skills in strategic planning and change processes. This way, you can impact the inner attitudes and behavioral patterns of individuals as well as their interplay in the system.
PROGRAM
Your will and commitment are required if you want to internalize an attitude, sharpen your intuition, and use coaching techniques with confidence. The training requires you to be active not only in the modules, but also to hold coaching conversations and to work with your peer group. Nothing is more valuable than gaining your own experience and reflecting on it and to reflect on them in a sustainable way. Be a learner again, look beyond your own nose, think outside the box and venture into the realm of not knowing!
The Transformational Leadership Coaching Program is about creating a culture or environment that can best support the greatest potential to emerge.
Transformational Coaching- What Is it?
-
Transformational Coaching cuts to the essence of circumstances and situations, identifies emerging potential, and then partners with that potential to discover a clear pathway forward—a pathway that can lead us toward a world that works.
-
Transformational Coaching skills help you help others come into alignment with who they essentially are, and with the purpose of their lives by connecting them with their awareness and the potential of the moment.
-
Our program enhances your capacity to call forward the greatest in the people around you.
How Do We Do It?
-
In Transformational Coaching, we work ‘inside out’. We bring our client, coach, or employee in contact with the energy of his or her authentic self.
-
From a deep understanding of who he/she essentially is and the choices he/she makes in life, we help create a culture where continued growth and transformative change can be achieved.
-
You will examine the premise that everything - including our thoughts, emotions, perceptions, situations, and circumstances - are essentially energy and objects that arise and are impermanent. You experience how to step into the energy and work with it for accelerated and productive results.
What Are Your Take-Aways?
Frameworks for navigating complex situations and circumstances and finding effective next steps.
How to cut to the essence of a situation and its potential, thereby accelerating transformation.
How to work with change, instead of struggling against it.
How to understand what is happening on multiple levels of circumstances.
Approaches for reducing stress and fostering resilience in the face of uncertainty.
How to meet both opportunities and challenges with clarity and confidence.
How to sense and perceive beyond the obvious. "Connect the dots" and work with the interconnection of everything.

OUR COACHING METHODOLOGY
01
THREE
DIMENSIONAL
1. You work as a coach and apply each method directly.
2. You work in the role of the coachee on your own genuine issues and concerns.
3. Through your role as an observer of coaching processes, you will you refine your perception.
You learn to give authentic, clear, and goal-oriented feedback, and to justify it.
02
POTENTIAL
BASED
Every human being already carries everything within him that he needs for his own development.
In coaching, the focus is therefore on potential-oriented self development. This means that your coachee remains responsible for their content - and you facilitate the process.
The focus is on competencies, less on 'deficits’; on goals and solutions instead of on the causes and the past.

DISCIPLINARY
You will learn and work with a broad mix of methods, which will be learning experiences and support you in transferring what you have learned to into your everyday work.
