Coaching mastery

Every year Menslab sets up a number of innovative paths, facilitated by the best international coaches and trainers, that lead towards diplomas in mentoring and supervision and other disciplines. Apart from paths towards certification, during the year Menslab makes different specialization opportunities available, both during the summer school at Cagliari, and in Milan, Rome and Madrid, as well as through workshops in video-conferencing that can be attended whatever your location.

A workshop which enables the specific methodology of team coaching to be learnt in three phases developed by Menslab through the processes of observation, supervision and participation.
Participants will practise as team coaches using specific tools and processes provided by the trainers. All participants will receive supervision of their work with the team.

A training program that will enhance participants’ work competencies with teams through a mentoring approach. There are other phases in which the team, after a certain period of work, begins to acquire dysfunctional habits and strategies and repeats them automatically, either because it is not possible to observe them from within, or because the team has not paused to recognize them, or indeed because it is unaware of the possibilities for generating flexibility and change.

The continued focus on the creation of value, also through adaptation, transformation, and the practice of new work methods, is channelled through the feedback of a neutral and impartial observer who can offer precise information on what is observed and share possible alternative working methods that will allow the team to regain, maintain and develop its effectiveness.

This impartial observer is the team’s mentor or supervisor, who, by means of a wise use of the coaching approach and thanks to precise competence in teamwork’s best practices, can generate new possibilities by adding value to the team’s contributions and those of individual members, as well as offering new working possibilities based on the best practices.

A workshop dedicated to holistic coaching. Awareness and learning can pass through different dimensions: rational understanding and voluntary choice, somatics and movement to generate new possibilities of thought, and recognition of the profound depth of life’s scope for finding motivation. During the three days a series of activities and techniques will be analysed that can be used to create an awareness better suited to the client for generating the evolution she or he desires.

A seminar to empower real listening, going beyond what the words convey and taking in the client’s real questions and true objectives.
By means of this path the coaches will learn the secrets that master coaches use to listen in depth and to use the information gained to promote the client’s evolution, recognizing the belief structure, the thought processes, the strategies of motivation and choice, and many other items of information fundamental for offering clients highly valuable coaching.

The objective of this workshop is how to formulate questions in total partnership with the client, in such a way as to inspire the client and create a new awareness.
Participants will develop a listening capacity that will enable them to identify with extreme clarity at which level and from what perspective the client is facing the situation, so as to formulate questions that may open up different visions and increase possibilities.
The training is focused upon trust, presence and deep listening, in such a way that the coach learns to recognize ‘what question is the client asking’.
The numerous practicals will allow the coaches to gain great awareness as to how their own thought strategies and presuppositions can strongly influence the quality of questions.
Participants will be continually invited to go beyond their thinking style to discover new possibilities for creating questions that are effective, original, and, above all, useful for their clients.

A training course designed to carry coaching and mentoring to a new level, thanks to the development of the capacity to continually invite the client to be the co-builder of his or her coaching session.
Over the days the coaches will recognize what is important for being a true partner for the client and how it is possible to restore to the client every choice, by steering him/herself towards what is most useful to him/her at that moment in the path or coaching session.
Coaching built in total partnership is one of the most empowering and valuable experiences for the client and is the characteristic of coaching at mastery level.

Many coaches have specific areas of competence, for example, in the subject matter of communication rather than in personal organization or other areas.
This path is intended to improve the coaches’ competence in the specific strategies of mentoring, to be used for sharing their own experience, when required by the client or organization.
In this seminar coaching competencies will be retraced from the perspective of mentoring and, in particular, the use of direct communication will be dealt with in depth, extremely useful for offering clients observations that can increase their motivation, create awareness of resources, and accompany them to a new level of success.
