Excellence in Mind –
our coaching approach
For more than two decades, we have combined neuroscientific research with personality psychological principles in order to support you in finding and implementing your own vision and your personal goals. Methodologically, we put you in a position to provide your personal learning and growth processes with sustainability. Our own scientifically developed instruments, such as the COLOUREM® Method or Authenticity Mapping Diagnostics®, are supplemented by internationally recognized approaches.
Why neuroscience? Why research? Authenticity is characterized by an awareness of yourself, your values, your own biography and your strengths and weaknesses. And it lives from a feeling for the way we affect an audience. Self-understanding and the ability to develop yourself further are the key. In our experience, many leaders, often rationally influenced by facts, balance sheets, processes, structures and indicators, find it easier to control this development for themselves when they can comprehend and rationalize the functions behind their conduct. Hence, COLOUREM® was specifically developed to improve emotional self-control. Even though the success of coaching is, of course, linked to psychological competence, leaders in particular find it easier to achieve sustainable success with this kind of tangible scientific background.
Executive Coaching –
Striving for authenticity
If a leader is playing a role that isn’t a true expression of his authentic self, followers will sooner or later feel like they’ve been tricked.
Do you want your staff to follow you? Do you have to deal with your partner’s demands and also anxieties in prolonged change processes, convince her/him and win her/him over to your own vision?
Changes in particular demand a great deal from leaders. In these critical periods for the organization, the company and the individuals within your area of responsibility must follow you. You must win them over to yourself and your ideas, creating common ground. And with different stakeholders, it will not always be the same ground. Building up networks, the emotional competence to address various parties, is essential.
We will empower and enable you for these competences with our brain-functional coaching methods by heightening cognitive and emotional flexibility, reflection, integration and teaching new techniques for self-regulation.
‘YOUR EXCELLENCE IN MIND’ offers you the following fields of development:
Leadership Alignment Coaching
Who are you, what touches you personally, what do you really want? And how much room does that have in your current job?
Our Leadership Alignment Coaching is an individual multi-level personality coaching for the analysis and harmonious alignment of your own resources. We highlight your competencies, potentials and values. We dedicate ourselves to your understanding of identity and roles as well as your personal sense of purpose in relation to your current or a new task.
With our leadership alignment coaching, we first illuminate the status quo of your personal resources (used and unused), identify energy varnishes, blockades and interference fields together with you, which have so far prevented or blocked a deep inner balance and healthy use of potential. The analysis is carried out using the EOS (Development-Oriented System Diagnostics), our Authenticity Mapping Diagnostics® and, if desired, the Leadership Circle Proflie®.
The next step of the leadership alignment coaching via the COLOUREM® coaching process is dedicated to precisely those core aspects that lead to your harmonious inner and outer alignment. We address the solution of emotional blockades, the increase of cognitive flexibility as well as a balance between thinking, feeling and action processes.
Next Generation Leaders –
Generations change within family businesses
Family businesses in particular are influenced by the leadership styles and personalities of those with responsibility. Commonly, this is an essential component of success. And with the transition to the next generation, a different personality will determine the future development of the company. For staff and customers, that is just as much a change as for the old and new bosses. What do stakeholders see in the father, and how do they perceive daughter or son? What constitutes their personalities, their authenticity, and what are the differences?
But not only the relationship between the company and the new management must develop. A changed level of relationship must be built up between the senior boss and the junior one, if the transition is to be successful. Hence, our coaching for generation change often involves both generations.
Our Next Generation Leadership Programme supports, encourages and empowers! With respect, authenticity, warmth and acceptance, but also with a constructive and critical perspective and experience feedback. Become aware of your own leadership competence, learn to utilize viable leadership instruments and grow into your individually consistent and authentic leadership style.
The programme ‘Next Generation Leadership’ consists of the following elements:
- Growth and process support for generation change within family businesses (individual and group mentoring, moderation)
- Monitoring First 100: support for the initial 100 days, mentoring for an individually authentic leadership style
- Authenticity Mapping Diagnostics®
- Dynamic Skill Training (morality, ethics and abstract thinking)
- Learning self-regulation competences
- Leadership Circles with high professional leaders and next generation leaders
- Personal alignment coaching for authentic self-control
Cultural Heartbeat
Shaping transformative change
In most companies, it is not a single leader and leadership style that determines the culture and values and their authenticity. Bodies and structures play a similarly major role to strong personalities. With Cultural Heartbeat, we will help you to identify these factors and their influence.
This is why we create the basis for successful change. For only when it is possible to synchronize influences, identify and tackle potential inertia forces will transformative processes be successful. In an environment that leaves us less and less time, -time for change, but also time up to the first tangible successes-, a holistic method becomes essential.
Only the person who knows the drivers of his culture is in a position to develop them further in targeted fashion.
Our Cultural Heartbeat approach consists of the following steps:
- Differentiated overall analysis of the subconscious personality dispositions and motive inclinations of the key individuals in the company (Reveal Your True Cultural Heartbeat)
- Analysis of the individual values within the enterprise
- Analysis of the communication and leadership culture
- Derivation of guiding principles in communication and leadership culture
- Analysis and development of the individual personality and leadership style
