EDUCATORS ON THE COACH TRAINING PROGRAMME

As the country’s leading coach training programme, we make every effort to select the very best teachers. We have put together a team of very different teachers, each with their own specialities within coaching. Here you can see the trainers you can meet on the programme. Click on the images to read more about each trainer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

This section contains all the practicalities of your coach training programme. Both things that are nice to know while you’re on the programme and after. If there’s anything you can’t find an answer to, feel free to ask your teacher, your coach trainer or the office. We are here for you.

The office can be contacted by phone at 40 50 00 90 or by email at info@sofiamanning.dk

MENTORING

As part of the programme, you are allocated 10 mentoring hours as follows:

• The 3 hours are with your personal coach mentor in the form of 2 sessions of 1 hour and 45 minutes each. We have set aside a little extra time for the sessions, so there is plenty of time for you to get to know each other.

• We have a number of skilled coach mentors who specialise in different areas. When you start the programme, you get to choose which coach mentor you want to spend time with. You may want a coach mentor who knows something about leadership, entrepreneurship, spirituality or something else entirely. It is generally not possible to get another coach mentor once you have made your choice. However, you are always welcome to purchase sessions with other coach mentors. You can find your coach mentor here.

• The remaining 7 mentoring hours come in the form of two online mentoring days from 9.00-13.00 for the entire team, with a little extra time set aside as well. You will find the days in your training overview as Mentor Day 1 and 2.

FEEDBACK

• During your programme, you will receive feedback on your coaching at least 6 times.

CERTIFICATION

• The certification takes place online, where you coach a fellow student for 40 minutes with an ICF-approved coach mentor with PCC status.

• Your Sofia Manning Coach certificate will state that the programme is Level 2 accredited by the ICF (International Coach Federation).

TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AND NETWORKING MEETINGS

• Training is key when training to become a coach. We recommend that you train as much as possible and a minimum of five sessions between modules.

• One of the great benefits of being the number of people you are on the team is that there are many people to train with and plenty of opportunities to network. We recommend that you train with as many of your fellow students as possible, both in pairs and in groups across teams. We also recommend that you practise coaching both live and via Skype, ZOOM, phone, etc. It can be an advantage to train mainly with your fellow students in the beginning, but already after module 2 it is fine to train by coaching others.

• If you have a sister, good colleague, friend or other close relationships that can be difficult to coach yourself, you can arrange with a fellow student to swap coachees as a good “external” practice opportunity.

• How to get the most out of your networking meetings:

  1. Establish groups of three to six people. It is optimal to form groups of three, with one person coaching, one giving feedback and one being coached. It’s important to always have one or two people giving feedback according to the feedback form.

  2. You focus on supporting, motivating and developing each other to become good coaches through feedback.

  3. When training between modules, the feedback provider must always fill out the feedback form.

  4. Always and consistently use the feedback form. It’s a great tool and creates a safe space, so embrace it!

  5. Focus on the coach’s learning rather than the client’s challenge in these rehearsal sessions, which is of course the opposite in real-life sessions.

ATTENDANCE

• You can still get certified even if you miss a few days of the modules. However, we strongly encourage you to prioritise your classes and feedback sessions so you don’t miss out on important knowledge.

• If you are unable to attend one of the 2 sessions with your personal coach mentor (1.5 hours duration), you can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled session. However, if you do not cancel in time, we ask you to book a new session with your coach mentor at your own expense.

• The office can be contacted by phone on 40 50 00 90 or by email info@sofiamanning.dk

WAY OF ADRESSING OTHERS

• When you join the programme, you will be given the opportunity in the first lesson to indicate if you wish to be referred to with a pronoun other than he or she. The teacher will ask about it and you can express your preference either in front of the class or simply to the teacher after class if that suits you better.

QUESTIONS

• If you have any further questions, please feel free to write or call us.

• The office can be contacted by phone on 40 50 00 90 or by email info@sofiamanning.dk

ONLINE ON ZOOM

HOW WE USE ZOOM

• At the programme, we do everything we can to ensure you encounter a professional and inspiring environment. The online days take place over ZOOM with what is called “meeting”.

• You need a profile and must be logged in.

• At Sofia Manning, we have a dedicated producer. This means that someone from Sofia Manning’s team will always be in charge of all the technical aspects of the ZOOM meeting.

• To participate, click on the “click here to participate” link under each module.

• We use “waiting rooms” to increase safety. In practice, this means that the producer doesn’t let anyone in who doesn’t belong. So you will be manually let in to ZOOM meetings.

• Online, educators are on while you’re participating – everything is live. This results in a great sense of presence, because you can ask questions and get answers immediately, and it ensures a strong and good engagement in the class.

• We utilise ZOOM’s breakout rooms, where you can talk in groups.

ON ZOOM, WE ASK YOU FOR THE FOLLOWING

• Make sure your ZOOM profile name matches the name you are registered with on the programme. We only allow names on ZOOM that are on our participant list.

• Always make sure to “mute” yourself when being taught in the classroom by the educator. You are muted when your microphone is switched off.

• As far as possible, always have video on so we can all see each other. It means a lot for the sense of presence that everyone participates with video.

• The chat can be used to encourage each other and share links etc. but not to ask questions.

• If you want to ask questions to the educator, this should always be done in the classroom and not in the chat. The educators will inform you more about this.

• Show up in good time: The ZOOM meeting opens 15 min. before the class starts, and we would like to ask you to be logged in no later than 5 min. before, so you can arrive and talk to your fellow students. This way we can start the class on time.

• If possible, stay logged in to ZOOM during breaks. This makes work easier for the producer.

• Make sure to end conversations and mute yourself when the class starts. If you forget to do this, the producer will switch off your microphone.

HELP WITH ZOOM

• If you are a new ZOOM user, we recommend that you register and install ZOOM well in advance.
