Training courses for managers and leaders

At Living Sense Executive, we are thrilled to partner with the Coaching Institute Living Sense to bring integral coaching education and philosophy to Switzerland in English. As pioneers, the Coaching Institute Living Sense introduced integral coaching to Switzerland in 1996, becoming the first training institution in Europe to offer various specialisations in coaching disciplines and methods. We live in times of significant and rapid change. In today’s ambiguous information society, calm and stable times appear to be over, whereas challenges and changes are constant companions in our everyday business lives.

Extraordinary times require extraordinary growth.

In today’s constantly changing world, both employees and team leaders alike must demonstrate extraordinary personal growth and develop a mindset that is capable of handling resistance. Companies must see themselves as learning environments that foster a passionate, pioneering culture.

Challenges and new ways of thinking

Increasing budget cuts, job insecurity, the convergence of different generations, and various global conflicts indicate the need for new thinking. These challenges require not only personal and entrepreneurial flexibility but also the ability to recognise societal megatrends and integrate them into everyday life.

Become competent in integral coaching – your advantage as a coach and mentor

Integral coaching empowers people to solve their problems, deal with change, unlock their potential, and expand their awareness through empathetic and non-judgmental reinforcement. Values and personal needs are explored during coaching sessions using the client’s individual resources to develop desired goals and solutions. In the process, all levels of the human condition (i.e. body, mind, emotions, soul, relationships, and systems) are considered and integrated as resources. As a Certified Integral Coach, you can draw on a creative repertoire of methods to design professional process mentoring.
