The Professional Coach Training programme
for leaders and managers
Inke Schulze-Seeger, MCC
I am delighted that you are interested in our coaching training that focuses on the coaching approach in leadership. I consider it a privilege to accompany you on your journey. As coaches and leaders, we provide support, guidance, and encouragement to the people we work with as they navigate their paths and help them unlock their full potential. Coaching is a powerful way to do this, and as a coach, I believe everyone already has the necessary inner resources to tackle challenges, uncover insights, and find solutions. I love the vision of a workplace that values collaboration, independence, and growth. Coaching can foster a culture of learning, which can greatly impact the development and performance of the people around you. By applying a coaching approach, you can unlock people’s potential, focusing on the topics that matter, empowering others, and helping them take responsibility.
BRIDGEHOUSE Professional Coach Training for leaders and managers is dedicated to equipping you with a thorough methodological and mental toolkit for professional coaching. Furthermore, you will be prepared to confidently integrate a coaching approach into your leadership routine. I’m here to support you on this journey of becoming a skilled coaching professional. Let’s create a thriving workplace where individuals and teams can reach their full potential!

Your motives
What’s probably on your mind
You are probably reading through this because you are in a leadership position in an international corporate environment. You want to lead collaboratively to empower your people, let them take ownership of their challenges, and help them develop their ideas and solutions. That is why you are thinking of making coaching part of your leadership style and wondering how you can best do this.
Or maybe you are a People & Culture manager and often find yourself in conversations where people ask for your advice and guidance. Sometimes you don’t feel those conversations lead to lasting results. That’s why you want to support people by enabling them to help themselves and strengthen their initiative, self-responsibility, and ability to act.
What you and other participants have in common is that you work in an international corporate environment and have probably experienced the positive impact of coaching first hand. You want to be able to coach professionally and apply this at work. At the same time, you like to understand when it makes sense to coach, when it doesn’t, and in which situations it’s particularly relevant. In short, you want to use a professional coaching approach in your work context, knowing its limits and maximising its opportunities for impact.
Whatever your motives are for participating in a coaching training, we want to understand them. What exactly do you want to achieve? What do you want to learn? What matters to you? We’re excited to get to know you and address your questions regarding coaching training.
Before registering for the BRIDGEHOUSE Professional Coach Training programme, let’s understand exactly why you want to take part, what motivates you, and what would be your best learning outcome.
Even an initial contact can make a big difference. No matter what you decide, call us on +49 30 60 98 32 10. Or book your time directly with Inke, your trainer, via this link so we can get to know each other and answer all your questions.
Not just any coaching training
What makes our programme unique
What makes the BRIDGEHOUSE Professional Coach Training programme for leaders and managers different is that you recieve fundamental coaching training based on internationally recognised coaching compentencies. Additionally, you will learn how to transfer your knowledge into practice at work, considering the specifics of coaching on an organisational environment.
Although this might disappoint you, we aren’t claiming that the BRIDGEHOUSE Professional Coach Training programme is the best in the world. On the contrary, there are many excellent coaching training programmes, some directed specifically at leaders. The only thing that matters in your decision is whether this training is the best for you regarding its relevance to your everyday working and leadership practice. A few specific criteria for high-quality coaching training can be used as orientation and provide information about the standards it meets and whether it fulfills your needs.
How do you determine this? Are there universally applicable coaching competencies that one should master and that are taught in the programme? Will you also develop personally? Will you learn how and when to apply coaching in business and be equipped to do it?
Nothing is more unstimulating than sitting through a training of endless lectures and PowerPoint slides. Coaching trainings that are good in terms of content, didactics, and relevance should also be enjoyable and fulfilling.
The BRIDGEHOUSE Coach Training programme fulfils all these criteria!
As BRIDGEHOUSE coaching trainers, we are passionate coaches and call ourselves »eclectics«. This means we’re always looking for methods and skills that we can successfully apply in our coaching practice that we know will impact and benefit our clients. Furthermore, our self-conception and actions are based on the internationally recognised ethical standards and method-independent core competencies for coaches defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the world’s largest coaching association.
However, we believe nothing is more important than relevance and practicability. It’s great to be trained as a professional coach, but you should know when and how to coach in the working environment. What situations or conversations require which approach or setting? What limits are there to coaching? When should you or shouldn’t you coach?

What happens in between the modules?
In order to apply and consolidate what you have learnt, there are four ninety-minute on- line classes between the individual modules, where you and the other participants coach each other in small groups. Here, you will give and receive feedback on the coaching sessions based on defined criteria. This format helps deepen your learning and the practical transfer.

Who are the other participants?
A maximum of twelve participants makes this coaching training programme for leaders and managers relatively exclusive. BRIDGEHOUSE works for many large and medium-sized companies in various industries. All participants will work in an international environment, are managers who lead any teams, or come from their P&C departments. Most participants will be familiar with coaching in one way or another and have probably experienced it themselves. We put the training group together to maximise mutual inspiration and learning for the participants.
What are the participation requirements?
Participating in the training programme has no prerequisites. However, there are a few things that can bolster your training experience. People are at the heart of your daily work. You like people, which may seem quite natural to you. That’s wonderful! People spark your curiosity. You enjoy getting to know them and collaborating with them. After all, the individuals around you are central to your role as a manager and leader.
Therefore, having an affinity for people is quite advantageous. Approaching them with a positive predisposition and showing genuine interest can work wonders. Moreover, you want to understand yourself better and gain insights into others’ perspectives.
It is also beneficial to step back and prioritise others and their viewpoints. If you love talking and value your input highly, adopting a coaching-based leadership style could be a bit more challenging for you than for others.
And these are the only prerequisites!

Your trainer
Inke Schulze-Seeger, MCC
I have been an Executive Coach for almost twenty years and co-founder and director of the BRIDGEHOUSE Coach Academy. I am a Master Certified Coach (MCC) and Mentor Coach of the International Coaching Federation and a passionate coaching expert and trainer.
I accompany people as they focus on leadership and personal development, and strive to increase their impact and effectiveness.
Over the last ten years, I have also trained and mentored more than two hundred team leads, P&C experts, consultants, trainers, and agile coaches either to become professional coaches or to develop them in this role.
On my journey as a coach, I have realised that it is not only what I do in coaching that influences the outcome, but how I show up as a person. My knowledge of methods has moved me forward as a coach, but the constant examination of myself and my personality as reflected through my coaching has shaped my development. As well as conveying the tools required for coaching, I want to pass on the experiences of my intense learning path in my work with leaders and coaches.
I recently co-authored the book “Qualitätssicherung im Coaching” (Assurring Quality in Coaching).
I live in Berlin with my family and a little West Highland White Terrier called Luke Snowwalker.
