Prerequisites for your Participation
1. We sincerely aim for an optimal fit between what you are looking for and our training. This is very important to us. We offer a demanding training with quality standards that require a high level of commitment. Therefore, we take the time it takes to get to know you and your wishes as closely as possible and really answer your questions. In a preliminary telephone call we would like to clarify: Is the chemistry right? Do we share the same values? Is our training the right thing for you?
- Do you have at least 5 years of professional experience?
- What do you want from participating in a coaching training?
- Are you willing to prepare a 2‑page paper that gives us an insight into the moments of your life where you have personally experienced transformation?
- Please let us know which are your preferred practices of self-reflection.
- We recommend a coaching-relevant article, which you ideally read before our telephone call (10 minutes reading time).
- We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the ICF core competencies.
- Identify two of your current professional or business challenges. What keeps you awake at night?
- We will conduct a kind of „dialogue interview „* with you. During this interview we will get to know each other and you will have the opportunity to ask questions in order to achieve maximum clarity as a basis for your decision whether or not to participate in the TLCP.
– *= ‚Dialogue Interview‘ (Otto Scharmer). This interview aims to engage you in a reflective and generative conversation. It will provide insights into questions and challenges you are facing. It begins by building a generative field for the program that you – should you decide to do so – want to help shape with us
2. Should we all say „Yes“…
- Then you will conduct two „stakeholder interviews“. Another participant will be assigned to you as your learning partner or „buddy“ for the duration of the training. To support the development of your buddy (and he/she is yours) from the beginning, you and your buddy will conduct two stakeholder interviews each to gain insight and feedback on each other’s development. You will plan and conduct the interviews BEFORE the program begins. Please take notes during the interviews, print them out and bring this summary to the first module of the program.
3. For successful participation in the Transformation Leadership Coaching Training, keep the following in mind throughout:
- Participation in all attendance modules and virtual meetings.
- During the program you will have continuous coaching practice with at least 2–3 coaching clients or 20–30 hours of coaching.
- Throughout the program, you will consistently engage in self-observation, position-fixing, self-reflection practices such as supervision or through diaries or exercises for deep listening with other participants.
- Between modules you will meet regularly with your buddy and/or buddy group to deepen your understanding of coaching and the practical application of ICF core competencies.
- During the modules you will be fully involved in order to pro-actively contribute to a successful group experience.
- As a member of this group you will try to become and remain aware of the effects of your conscious and unconscious behavior.
- You will remain open to feedback (receiving and giving) and try to use any irritation or challenge in general as an opportunity for growth.
- You will always try to contribute to the growth and development of the other participants through your way of being and acting.

Coaching Approach & Philosophy
We at Not Knowing Leadership believe that coaches, through developing their skills and individual practice, become a catalyst for transformation: they expand their own consciousness and can thus initiate a movement of conscious management.
- The Transformation Leadership Coaching Program is a valuable catalyst in supporting organizations to develop such leaders who want to make a positive difference in their organizations, their communities and in the lives of the people they lead and accompany.
- The Transformation Leadership Coaching Training also supports the drafting of the UN goals for sustainable development to raise awareness and achieve a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.
- The Transformational Leadership Coaching Program provides a unique vision for transformational coaching and offers the next generation of leaders, business owners, MR professionals, change agents and coaches a framework for holistic development of people and systems to deepen and broaden their contribution to the world.
- The program design and facilitators of the Transformational Leadership Coaching Training distill and integrate more than 10 years of multidisciplinary experience and provide a fundamental and transformative program that meets the standards of the International Coaching Federation. We invite our participants to join a community of others who are committed to increasing the holistic effectiveness of organizations in the world.
- The Transformational Leadership Coaching Program is a professional foundation and transformational coaching program in alignment with the ICF. It is focused on the whole person and the whole system and supports individuals to deepen and broaden their contribution in the world to a vision for Conscious Entrepreneurship and ultimately for humanity.
- We believe that coaching is a collaborative, non-directive conversation that brings about development and transformation through investigation, reflection and conscious selection of new behaviors.
- Transformational coaching explores the inner world of the client’s beliefs, assumptions, values and expectations in order to create greater opportunities for being, living and leading in life.
- Transformational coaching does not focus primarily on what the client does or does not do, but rather on creating awareness of what is going on for the client (inside) – what leads to certain desired or undesired behavior.
We use the following approaches to support the development of the participants:
- System Theory (N. Luhmann)
- Constructivism (H.v. Foerster, P. Watzlawick)
- Adult Development Theory (Jane Loevinger, S. Cook-Greuter, R. Kegan, S. Garvery-Berger, Dr. T. Binder)
- Nonviolent Communication (NVC/M. Rosenberg, R. Gonzales)
- The Inner Team (F. Schultz v. Thun)
Inner Family System (Richard C. Schwartz) - Leadership Theory (Transactional to Transformational, Situational Leadership, S. Sinek)
- Transformational Presence Leadership (Alan Seale)
- Mindfulness (Jon Kabat Zinn)
- Emotional Intelligence (D. Goleman, K. Neff)
- Positive Psychology
- Neuroscience
