COACHING
Coaching for managers and mediators
OUTPUT POINTS
You are new
In a new organisation, in a new team; attempts, attempts, ideas to master the challenge of making the collaboration work and sound good. But Working in the system takes time and always leads to pressure and uncertainty at the beginning. => Coaching acts as a conflict prophylaxis here.
They are already there
You know what is available. You know what is tried and tested, but you should and want to provide for the new; you want to innovate and should explore; in short, you should lead – even the unwilling, the undecided to new shores. But Working on the system does not work without conflict. But are you determined to leave the beaten track so as not to fall by the wayside? That's a good thing! => (Conflict) coaching is the first step in conflict management.
You are already somewhere else
At least mentally, they want to go to new shores, all alone or at least away, away for now, but not quite sure where to yet. However, working as part of a system brings with it obligations, loyalties, commitments – and as long as the old is not well honoured, the new is not in a good position. => Coaching enables a suitable transition that can be pursued with vigour.
AND THEN FOLLOWS
What needs to be done?
- Develop an understanding of the context of your own work (review your own assumptions),
- Reflecting on your own areas of influence and problematic contributions to the current situation and
- Two-Speed-Action: Develop a balance between stabilising and innovating approaches.
What to look out for?
- Embed the coaching process in the organisational environment;
- Determine coaching objectives based on the organisational strategy and culture;
- Align coaching content with the individual personality.
Which hot potatoes may need to be tackled?
- (First-time) management responsibility
- Management change topics

...the coaching with Dr Sascha Weigel helped me to reflect on the complexity and the different perspectives in the change process.
In particular, I was able to more clearly recognise and define my role in this change process. It still helps me to see that my team doesn't have to make a mass start and that the slowest person sets the pace, but that we are in a relay race in which each individual has to make their own contribution so that the overall result is right at the end of the day....n addition, it is simply fun to philosophise with Mr Weigel and to see things from different perspectives.
That's why I unreservedly recommend coaching with Dr Sascha Weigel!

Especially in the start-up phase, the professional feedback from the outside is very important. Sascha really helped us a lot here!

...With his empathetic manner, but also through targeted methodology, Dr Weigel succeeded in making a seemingly fragmented Team during the Coachings and showed understanding and emotion. At the end of the coaching session, we all agreed that Dr Sascha Weigel's contribution had shown us a new way to resolve conflicts and helped to prevent new conflicts from arising in the future. Thank you, Sascha.
