Action-Centred Coaching

In the first module, we get to know each other, the aims of the training and the action-centred approach. Together, we clarify key framework conditions and develop fundamental principles. In doing so, we get straight into action and reflection.

• framework conditions
• indication
• warming up
• aims of coaching & supervision
• differentiation from psychotherapy
• developing and testing hypotheses

In the second module, participants acquire the basis for shaping their role as action-centred coaches. We emphasise the teaching of a humanistic view of the human being and the development of a reliable concept of abstinence. To this end, participants are familiarised with the core elements of J.L. Moreno's role theory of sociometry.

• role as a coach
• abstinence
• humanistic view of man
• dealing with the limits of my offer
• psychodrama theory
• vision (business card)

In this first method module, we introduce the basic methods of action-centred coaching by applying and discussing them step by step using concrete cases and case studies from the circle of participants.

• warming up
• doubling
• role reversal
• mirroring
• sociocultural atom etc.

In the second method module, participants will learn methods of action-centred coaching that are particularly relevant for working in an individual setting. These will be applied and discussed step by step using specific cases and case studies from the circle of participants.

• chair work
• table stage
• monodrama/individual setting

In the third method module, participants expand on methods of action-centred coaching that are important for working in and with teams and groups. These will be applied and discussed step by step using specific cases and case studies from the circle of participants.

• constellations
• group dynamics
• roles in groups etc.

After the participants have learnt about and tried out different methods in a practical way, we will take a closer look at how we establish, rethink and correct action-guiding hypotheses when working with clients. In doing so, we will show how these can be linked to other theoretical and methodological principles.

• systemic foundations
• psychodynamic foundations
• mentalisation
• working with inner parts
• guiding questions for the work etc.

In this module, the focus is on applying coaching methods in individual and group settings. Participants apply the methods to their own topics and examples from their practice and reflect on their experiences in order to further deepen their coaching skills. The focus here is on self-awareness.

This module delves deeper into specific topics and invites you to accompany clients in conflict situations. We work out how to approach sensitive topics as a coach and how to work on areas of tension and dilemmas that refuse to be resolved simply.

• internal (topic – counter-topic, conflict dynamics) and external conflicts
• child protection/ confidentiality
• BIPOC, LGBTQIA*
• delicate situations

• special features
• "diagnostics"
• power and powerlessness

In this module, the focus is once again on applying coaching methods in individual and group settings. Participants apply the methods to their own topics and examples from their own practice and reflect on their experiences in order to further deepen their coaching skills. The focus here is on self-awareness.

Looking back on what they have experienced and learned, the participants reflect on their role as action-centred coaches. The farewell to the group and the training is taken as an opportunity to look at the design of closures in coaching processes and to develop strategies for dealing with difficult and "unfinished" processes.

• dealing with challenges at the end of coaching processes
• goodbye in the group
• conclusions in coaching/supervision
