Coaching
After a training, you may want to discuss your skills or situation in more detail in individual coaching conversations. Or you want to prepare yourself for an important presentation or interview with the media. ElroyCOM Training offers individual coaching on work-related subjects.
The coaches at ElroyCOM Training support you in redefining the problem, changing your behaviour or your circumstances, and help you to make crucial choices. We use practical psychology methods and communication models to guide you.
ElroyCOM Training offers individual coaching on the following topics:
- Leadership
- Career
- Dealing with work pressure
- Dealing with conflict situations
- Media training
- Practicing conversations with an actor
- Writing an inaugural address
The coaching process
The number of coaching sessions varies, depending on the question. If, for example, you want to prepare for an interview or practise a difficult conversation with an actor, 1 or 2 sessions are often sufficient. For career and leadership related questions, the coaching process usually takes 5 to 10 individual conversations with a coach, typically over a period of a year. For longer trajectories, we use a 5-phase model: intake, problem definition, setting goals and plan, executing the plan, and evaluation. Each phase may consist of several coaching sessions. Executing the coaching plan often entails practicing in real life. In each coaching session you evaluate the progress and set up the next step or phase in cooperation with your coach.

Management
Both non-scientific managers and full professors, associate and assistent professors, lecturers and PhD-students enjoy our management coaching. ElroyCOM helps managers to reflect on their competencies and to gain insight and learn skills. As a manager, a great deal is asked of you in terms of ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ skills. In fact, no manager scores a hundred percent of the competencies needed. A personal coach offers alternative perspectives and inspiration.
Dealing with resistance, handling conflict situations, coping wih responsibility, bringing more joy to your work: all of these are possible subjects in a process of positive change in cooperation with your personal coach.
Moving up or moving on
Are you thinking of changing your career or trying to move up? Do you not have a clue as to what to choose? Or do you have a specific direction you want to go, but do you not know how to go about it? Then this career coaching is what you need!
In this coaching process we apply a 5-phase model:
1. Who am I? With the aid of tests and excercises we look at your personal qualities. What are your strongest personality traits? What is your style of communication? How do you function in teams? How do you deal with difficult situations, stress, and conflicts?
2. What do I want? What gives you satisfaction in your work? Is it working with people? Getting quick results? Or is autonomy your number one requirement? Do you need to be creative in your work? In this phase we analyse what makes you happy in your work, and we create an ideal picture of your current or future job.
3. What are my competencies? Based on your CV and experience we analyse your competencies. If you should aspire a total career change, we focus on transferable competencies, meaning the things that you have learned that are of use in any other job. We will also determine what you are at present unable to do but would like to learn, which defines your need for personal development and education.
4. How can I find that job? What kind of jobs fulfill your wishes and needs, as defined in the before phases? Where can we find such jobs in databanks and adverts?
5. How can I get that job? In the final phase, we help you to write job application letters, and train you to sell yourself well in job interviews, as well as how to negotiate a good salary and job conditions.
The participants will actively reflect and search and make choices inbetween the coaching sessions. ElroyCOM guides you by providing advice, exercises and practical help.
