Discover what true Coaching is inspired by Ayrton Senna

We pride ourselves on doing research and use those findings as part of the course material. That being said, we also use fantastic material from renowned coaches, researchers and authors who specialise in the sciences that are related to coaching. And if you do not know much about Formula 1 skills, this course will teach you the "need for speed"!

Embrace the coaching genius of Sherlock Holmes

Along with "human hacking" which is taught in the Executive Coaching Skills course, we know that elementary life navigation skills are what our clients usually focus on to create a larger vision for themselves and become more motivated to tweak their life and business decisions. The Eleven Priming Elements is a framework based on Sherlock's brilliant (and at times unorthodox) thinking.

Learn about our Formula 1 inspired R.U.S.H. Coaching MethodTM

Part of our success lies in that fact that we also do 1-0-1 coaching and we reflect and check our abilities to provide value to our clients. This reflection has led to the development of our unique coaching approach!

Important Processes

This is a hybrid course that makes extensive use of the Virtual Learning Platform (e-learning).
All live lessons are uploaded in the specific cohort area to ensure confidentiality of the work done. Additional material can be found in there for specific study. 

Core Competencies Development

All ICF and EMCC Global Competencies Frameworks are presented in a clear manner and demonstrated by the instructor. You are requested to be in a position to know these and know what these entail as regards practical application and ethical consideration in real life choices. The Knowledge assessment is based on the Core Competencies Development element along with additional study from a reading list that the Academy supplies you with. 

Experiential Learning Components

This is, in essence, what is called “controlled practice”. The ELCs are two distinct elements that take place during the live workshops. The Coach Practice Development and the Practice Sessions on Strategies, Techniques and Competence-building through Case Studies. During these components, you are required to apply theory to practice in the live classes and evaluate your performance through reflection. 

Coach Practice Development

The instructor presents theory or strategies by demonstrating these live to expand on the theory already presented. As a learner, you are asked to observe and attempt a hand at illustrating your skills in real time under the guidance of your instructor.

Assignments

Knowledge Assessment is a key element of the course. You are expected to read books and articles to support your knowledge acquisition. Learning logs and other reflective tasks are required to be submitted through the VLP (Virtual Learning Platform).

Strategies & Techniques

The curriculum determines the competencies and techniques that you are expected to try your hand at as it is of utmost importance to experience the initial pressure of coaching others effectively in a safe and controlled environment, such as the classroom.

Buddy Coaching

From Module 2 onwards you are asked to coach each other on real-life issues in a supportive and confidential environment. You have the opportunity to enhance your experiential learning both as an enhancement coach and as a client following the ELCs (Experiential Learning Components.
