I achieved the skills I wanted to acquire, while understanding that the learning process is permanent. I think the frequency of the sessions was optimal, and my personal work and my coaching sessions with clients helped me to make significant progress. What I appreciate the most about the course are the pedagogy, the open minded discussions, the learning atmosphere and the team spirit. I have reached around 120 hours of coaching and plan to continue coaching in my company to help young managers progress. Andrea and Mike are excellent! ! They complement each other wonderfully, offer a high level of support and are always open to discussion.
Thanks to the course, I gained a clear understanding of what coaching truly is and how I can practically benefit from it while advancing my own self-development. I appreciated the swift transition from theory to practice, as we quickly began learning through real conversations with clients. The first interviews were challenging, but the professional yet approachable guidance from the teachers and support from classmates helped me navigate event he more difficult situations. The international certification and the opportunity to improve my English are valuable added benefits of this course.
I would highly recommend Mike as a professional coach. He helped me not only to improve my English coaching vocabulary, but also taught me several extremely helpful coaching methods and tools.
Mike is a great expert and a very kind person - he is enthusiastic, curious, creative, and does it all with a positive attitude. He treats clients like partners, trusts them and encourages their inputs. Mike also provides very useful resources and support which I appreciated greatly.
