Training in Embodied Systemic Coaching
Full Training
Embodied systemic coaching offers an opportunity to partner with a coach to identify strengths and explore dreams for our professional and personal life. It supports us to build upon our strengths in order to achieve our aspirations. Our coaching method is to work as partners with clients or coaches in a creative process that provokes thought and inspires them to make the most of their personal and professional skills. With this support, they can develop their aptitudes, and thereby reach their highest aspirations and potential.
We offer a full training in embodied systemic coaching – which leads to optional accreditation with the International Coaching Federation.
