- founded in 2001
After a six-year apprenticeship as a coach with the renowned Tony Robbins in the USA, Sofia Manning returned home in 2001 and founded Denmark's very first coaching programme. At the time, coaching was a new and unknown phenomenon in Denmark. Today, it is a common and recognised working method.
Since the start of the Coach Programme, more than 5000 people have chosen to be certified as coaches from our programme. Over the years, the programme has been updated and developed, but the mission remains the same: To create positive change in people's lives and enable them to create positive change for others - whether it is as a self-employed person or in a workplace in the public or private sector.
Our coach training programme is as one of the very few in Denmark, Level 2-accredited by ICF
WHAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY
“It’s been really great! It has given me a lot of things personally, in relation to my family as well as professionally.”
“It’s a heavenly experience to sit and be so intense behind a screen and get so much out of it personally as well.”
“The teachers are extremely skilled and competent, and what we learned on the programme, I would not have been without.”
"Coaching is about what we do with our lives."
With us, you don't just learn about coaching - you also learn how to coach. Our goal is to make you a fully equipped, insightful and efficient coach, who not only in theory, but also in practice, can handle all the tools and all the difficult situations.
Our programme is based on The 6 Steps
The 6 Steps is a coaching method developed by Sofia Manning, which is widely recognised as the classic form of coaching in Denmark. The 6 Steps is an effective method that helps people create results in the real world - whether it is achieving inner peace or financial freedom, finding your passion, regaining your inspiration, overcoming obstacles or improving teamwork. The 6 Steps are described in Sofia Manning's 2004 book 'Coaching'.
The coaching training programme is designed to move people
The programme is designed to kick-start your career, improve your business and make a world of difference in your personal life. We want to give you not only new tools, new competencies and new insights, but also a new perception of the world around you, yourself and your potential.
We strive to educate some of the best coaches in the country
We train coaches who are able and strive to create a positive difference in people's lives and who are able to manage the responsibility of assisting and catalysing change. That is why it is also our ambition to deliver Denmark's best coach training programme.
How does the online training programme work?
The programme is conducted live online. The online programme is structured exactly like our in-person programmes, but with the freedom and flexibility of being able to take the education in a setting of your choice, wherever you are, on the days of instruction. The online education also includes:
5 modules over 6 months + 2 full-day special sessions + 2 half-day feedback sessions + 2 half-day mentor sessions.
How do I attend online classes?
We use the platform ZOOM, as it has proven to offer the best user and participant experience.
ZOOM is an application that can be installed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. It can be compared to a classroom or training room where instructors can meet with you, and participants can engage in group exercises.
To participate in a lesson, you simply click on the link we send you, which is equivalent to showing up at the physical location. Our producer ensures that only registered participants have access.
Inside the online classroom on ZOOM, you will be able to see your instructor and fellow students (unless they choose to participate without video).
Our producer ensures that all participants' microphones are muted during instruction but can enable participation for group discussions when relevant. In other words, you can ask questions and interact with your instructors, coach trainers, and fellow students, just like in our physical education setting.
ZOOM offers the option to create breakout rooms, which we frequently use for exercises, training, feedback, etc.
Breakout rooms function similarly to when we divide you into smaller groups during physical education for practice sessions. On ZOOM, our producer creates these small, private breakout rooms and brings you back to the main classroom when it's time for collective instruction again.
While it may sound technical, in reality, it has proven to work remarkably well and seamlessly. The feedback we have received from previous online participants has been overwhelmingly positive.
What about presence and community?
We understand if you are concerned about the unique presence and sense of community that characterizes Sofia Manning's coach training programme being lost in an online format. It was a concern of ours as well. However, it has proven to be unfounded.
Because we can see and interact with each other on ZOOM, we get to know each other well, just as if we were together in a physical classroom. The small breakout sessions we regularly use to diversify the days in class, will provide participants with the opportunity to get to know each other on a personal level.
How does certification work in the online coach education?
The classes, mentor sessions, feedback, and certification all take place online in the online coach training programme. We use the ZOOM platform, which provides a good user and participant experience.
We have certified many students in this manner now, receiving very positive feedback from our participants.
