The Coachingwerk – Who we are
At Coachingwerk, we work in Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf and throughout North Rhine-Westphalia, in Frankfurt and Berlin as well as throughout Germany, in person or digitally, in German and English. We all bring a unique background and diverse perspectives – from areas such as project and change management, sales, marketing and communication, personnel development, logistics or risk management. Our experience from a wide range of industries such as automotive, mechanical engineering, energy, healthcare and insurance, education, politics, non-profit, public service and tourism flows into our work. This means that you will find exactly the right coach or team of coaches for your needs.
Why our offer suits you
In team and organizational development as well as in our coaching and training sessions, we promote new perspectives, create clarity about goals, options for action, needs and roles and design effective and sustainable implementation steps. The focus is always on people: with respect, empathy and professional quality standards, which we ensure through regular supervision and certification.
What we change in the world of our clients
You gain clarity, resilience, the ability to change and develop viable solutions together. Your collaboration becomes more productive. We break down complex issues, promote reflection, structure change processes and accompany you step by step – with professionalism and a genuine passion for development.
Our expertise
What sets us apart is the combination of diverse expert knowledge, a shared systemic understanding, a broad methodological and didactic repertoire and digital expertise. You benefit from our diversity – with a plus in experience, perspectives and professionalism combined with a uniform approach.
Our coaches have in-depth specialist knowledge, many years of professional experience and strong social skills – the ideal combination for providing effective support to teams, managers and organizations:
- Moderation: We design workshops, coaching sessions and processes in a targeted and neutral manner. We use systemic methods to create a trusting space and involve all participants – even the quieter voices.
- Training expertise: We impart knowledge in a practical and interactive way, promote skills and ensure sustainable learning transfer.
- Team and leadership skills: We strengthen collaboration, clarify roles and processes, promote a culture of feedback and support modern leadership.
- Conflict resolution: We moderate challenging situations professionally – with experience, clarity and empathy.
- Company know-how: Our experience from different industries and functions brings depth and practical relevance to every setting.
- Intercultural competence: Our experience abroad sensitizes us to cultural differences and enables differentiated cooperation.
- Multilingualism: We support international teams in German and English.
For larger groups, we can support you with a well-coordinated team on request. In this way, we ensure that even complex measures can be implemented interactively, effectively and efficiently.
Systemic coaching
Colleagues, friends, family: we are all integrated into different social life systems. These systems influence our behaviour – and our behaviour has an effect on the individual systems. The systemic approach and our systemic work are based on this insight. To achieve lasting success, the following points are crucial:
- The systemic approach views people in the context of their entire personal systems at all times.
- We use systemic methods to make these personal systems transparent.
- This opens up new perspectives; new paths become visible and enable sustainable solutions.
Focus on your own resources & change of perspective
In order to solve a problem, it is usually of little use to only research its cause. Oriented on the model of solution-oriented counselling according to Steve De Shazer the systemic approach focuses instead on the resources, the positive, the future and the goal. This approach significantly supports people in changing their behavior and thought patterns in the desired direction and finding the solution to their problems themselves.
The systemic approach is based on following insight: There is no truth, only constructions of reality. We all interpret and evaluate situations and events differently. Following this interpretation we construct our own reality, which then determines our behaviour. Often we get in our own way with our interpretations of reality. Once we have declared a situation to be a problem, we will quickly perceive further events as reinforcing the problem. In order to break out of this vicious circle, we need to change our view of things and to adopt other perspectives. Systemic methods make this possible through, for example:
- the experience of desired target states
- Activating existing resources
- the alternation of association and dissociation
- Adopting a meta-perspective
