Team Coaching Workshop April 9th 2011 in Berlin

A workshop for managers, coaches, facilitators, trainers, teaching professionals and anyone who wishes to effectively use the synergy of a group. Team Coaching is a method of working with teams that is rapidly growing in importance.

A Team Coach needs a wide range of skills in order to make their work creative, effective and synergetic. Coaching workshops are ideal for small groups because they provide the opportunity for team members to work out interpersonal issues, build understanding, resolve conflicts and improve teamwork. Coaching workshops are also an effective tool for helping individuals to remove blindspots and dramatically improve their interaction.

This workshop provides a theoretical framework for working with teams and allows the participants to gain practical experience with the process.

The workshop included the following topics:

• What is team coaching?
• The team coaching process – preparation, introduction, contract, action plan.
• Team coaching methods in practice – wheel of life, scaling, visualization, etc.
• The skills of a team coach.
• Handling difficult situations.

Workshop time: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

PhDr. Pavla Helclova

Pavla is an experienced HR professional with a background in recruitment, personnel audit and change management. After graduating from the Faculty of Philosophy at Charles University in Prague with a specialization in Work and Organizational Psychology, Pavla began to cooperate with the Czech branch of the global executive search company, Amrop Hever. Then, to broaden her horizons, she took on various consulting projects, including the merger of GOOGGI and Digitania (A Telenor Company). Her most significant project was her role as Project Manager of the VISION 2008 Project at Stredoceska energeticka a.s. (Central Bohemia Energy Company), where she was entrusted with leading the project team responsible for transforming the 1400FTE regional company into the new process-based holding structure of the CEZ Group. Pavla then rejoined the ranks of the Amrop Hever Group as a specialist responsible for change management projects, assessments and HR audits with a focus on internal communication and company culture. She was also part of the team of consultants concentrating on executive search in the IT and Telecommunications fields. 

NODE Facilitation Training- effective meeting facilitation

Today when we design a training program for a client it’s often about dealing with the challenges and possibilities of global teams and how to run virtual meetings. These are the new skills that people would like to acquire including an understanding for virtual leadership and how to build trust in these settings. While these are very useful learning objectives, the problem is, that in many organizations the basic building blocks of collaboration – how we run our meetings – are taken for granted, but are not in place. The reality is, that most face to face meetings are still held in rather ineffective ways. We waste a lot of time when there is no clear agenda, process and outcomes and if we add remote participants to these meetings they often feel nobody realizes they are there and they cannot participate at all. This is why we would like to invite you to join us for a two day workshop on:
“The basics of meeting facilitation – how to get the best results with a group”.

Dear Training group, it would be nice to collect your feedback here. Please use the comment function.

Discovering the impact of phototherapy

PHOTOTHERAPY WORKSHOP - FRIDAY 6. JANUARY 2011

Workshop, Prague 6-8 January 2011  

The aim of this workshop was to learn new methods for Organisational Development through photography. Since not many methods exist in OD they should be applied from other fields of learning.

In therapeutic processes photography has been long in use as a supportive element in the healing process. In photography personal photos, photography cards and other photographic imagery are used in order to explore ones personal themes. The methods in this field are well developed and easy to “think-outside-of-the-box”, and apply in the psychological and facilitative work in organisations.

In the workshop the participants learned alternative methods on how to use photography as a tool in Organisational Development. In the process the participants were egiven assignments with which they learnd to apply the therapeutic use of photography in Organisational Development and artistic work.

The participants also learned how to prevent social exclusion and activate participants in their own workshops in different fields of work (facilitating, coaching, artistic direction).

After the active workshop the participants attended a Photo Walk through Prague and looked at the city from the point of view of identity. During the last dinner together the results were shared and analysed togther, and the group got to know eachother through the photos that were taken during the day.
