Small group work - an intensive Experience

In the open LEADERSHIP Group, managers, entrepreneurs, owners and executives meet to work on personal challenges (professional as well as private) and to develop themselves further. In the groups, the participants support each other in dealing positively with their individual processes and at the same time learn from each other. In addition to theoretical-strategic group work, we also work on a physical level, as life topics always manifest themselves physically. Active body and process work supports signal extraction during a LEADERSHIP process. Body signals are physical phenomena that become more or less strongly visible in everyday life - depending on the current and long-term stress level - in connection with one's own process topic. It is a forgotten and special form of body language that goes far beyond conventional understanding. Through the growing awareness of which signals are related to one's own topic, the participants of the open LEADERSHIP groups gain more self-determination at the level of the mind and at the same time relieve their bodies. The open LEADERSHIP groups are also ideally suited to picking up systemic topics that take place in the participant's family or company. For this reason, children and young people of the family as well as colleagues can also take part in the event.

Small group work for everyone

The open LEADERSHIP group is just as suitable for newcomers as for advanced learners, as everyone learns from everyone - regardless of their level of experience. The group takes place once a week - Wednesday or Friday. We will be happy to inform you about the weekly topic of the group by email. We look forward to hearing from you!

You can take the coach certification examination within your specialist field at the earliest after completing the full cycle of ten workshops. Depending on how you wish to develop, the examination will be held later in the continuing workshop cycles. The examinations take place throughout the year. Many participants decide to extend the workshop cycle and only then to take the examination. We will be happy to inform you about our education "systemic leadership coach" by email.

Embarking on the Champion’s Journey is a decision that will influence your entire life going forward. It is your “Yes” to a conscious and positive life. This process of awakening consciousness is the first step in multiple processes of change that will positively impact both your private and professional life. All the negative factors will gradually disappear from your life. Good things will happen, although this does not mean that your mind will not be faced with an overwhelming challenge at times. We work together to overcome this daunting challenge. This LEADERSHIP Workshop pinpoints the significance of the path of champions in our times. It gives an overview of all the development stages and actively enters into your current stage of development. Profound group processes lead you closer to your body consciousness, the basis of your champion’s journey. You develop a sense of your uniqueness. You realise that your heroism lives in your ordinariness. In case you now think that you must write off your life so far: no, it’s not like that. But we won’t go on living in the same way once we are aware of our deepest talents. We will be happy to inform you about the specific content of the leadership- coaching workshop "The Champion’s Journey Begins" by email or klick here. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Knowledge Module is an important building block in the LEADERSHIP workshop series. It focuses intensely on issues relating to process work and personality development according to Anke Sommer. In this knowledge module, the emphasis is on immersing ourselves cognitively in leadership work as well as transferring theoretical content to our own professional and private situation. At the same time, information that has already emerged during the somatic modules can also be integrated on the intellectual level. You can look forward to encountering a mixture of new and experienced participants, and to further developing your champion! What you can expect from this workshop module? You will find that each individual participant finds their own access to systemic work according to Anke Sommer, based on the assumption that everyone has a special ability and strength that needs to be discovered and developed. This ability forms a core aspect of the whole Leadership work process, because the processes of change that take place are aimed at living your own individuality ever more intensely, under the guidance of your own core ability. Put aside your old, restrictive patterns of living and take the decision to lead a free, self-determined life! In this Leadership seminar, fledglings are taken under Anke Sommer’s wing and supported in the work of recognising their own ability. Those who are already aware of their ability can build on the state of development they have already reached. In other words, each participant starts from a different point, which encourages a free approach to putting theory into practice. You’re met at whatever stage you’ve reached and can apply the material to your own personal context. What’s more, this module’s combination of new and experienced champions offers excellent opportunities for an exciting exchange of views. Newcomers bring a breath of fresh air into the group and their stories offer fresh viewpoints that can be of benefit even to experienced participants who in turn offer other participants a certain degree of orientation, thanks to the development they’ve already achieved, and can work alongside and support the others. Wherever you currently stand, register now for the LEADERSHIP Workshop: Knowledge Module and Practical Application and benefit both from Anke Sommer’s comprehensive knowledge and from the work with other participants, expanding your horizons by talking to others as thirsty for knowledge as you are. The knowledge module is a specialised further training course. Theory is communicated and put into practice in every module. Please make sure that you check the seminar dates and times in good time. We will be happy to inform you about the topic and content of the Knowledge Module by email. We look forward to hearing from you!

Body Signal Work (Körpersignalarbeit©) is Anke Sommer’s passion. She has developed the method and uses it for process-oriented work in companies and in working with all kinds of people with leadership responsibility. Now the time has come once more: the Body Signals adventure is ready to go, waiting to be researched, tested and experienced. This workshop takes place every two years. Signals play an important part in all our lives. We react strongly to signals from people we talk to, though we’re not usually aware of doing so. If our way of life generates a malfunction in our body, the body shows this as a chain of signals. The more we go under in the daily grind, the more we close ourselves off to this level. In order to recognise body signals, we first need to open up our perception. The signals revealed in Body Signal Work (Körpersignalarbeit©) according to Anke Sommer have nothing to do with illness. Nor do they serve a diagnostic function. On the contrary, they are indicators of internal body processes and reactions that occur in response to tangible and intangible external influences. Signals are the way the body’s memories express themselves. The workshop helps us to develop our understanding of these signals. We will be happy to inform you about the specific content of the leadership- coaching workshop "Body Signal Work as a (Self-)leadership Method" by email or klick here. We look forward to hearing from you!

The Outdoor Facilitation LEADERSHIP Coaching workshop focuses on the experience of community, under the aspect of leadership. What am I in the collective? How much collective do I permit? How does the collective affect me and my leadership? The Outdoor Facilitation LEADERSHIP Coaching workshop sets tasks that are not feasible alone. Mastering these tasks together enriches your own body awareness, that is, your somatic memory, with the information that you need in order to work successfully in the collective. In this way, we grow together beyond our personal limits. The goal of the Outdoor Facilitation workshop is to become consciously aware of the success community as a principle and to accept this as a concept for success. As a result, we can free ourselves from the negative factors of going it alone. In this way, (business) success is less likely to lead to burnout. This module focuses on group processes, on synergies and on success-promoting factors in your own environment. Tasks are set that can only be completed in the group. In mastering these tasks, you grow beyond your own limitations. The goal is to become conscious of your own success community and to build it up. Participants actually experience how co-operation can be assessed and steered towards building a success community. This module takes place outdoors in natural surroundings. We will be happy to inform you about the specific content of the leadership- coaching workshop "Outdoor Facilitation Adventure" by email or klick here. We look forward to hearing from you!

Coaching Trip to La Palma - The art of deceleration

Experience a valuable time in which you calm down your mind and work towards bringing your physical sensation forwards. Strengthen your unique nature, which only becomes visible in resting phases and lovingly inspired environments. Your nature is so rarely visible because pressure often prevails in your life as a leader and determines your life. You will change this in this coaching trip.

Contents and aspired goals of the coaching trip

• Expression of the personal nature in professional work, especially in positions with high management responsibility.
• Uncovering the unadulterated leader.
• Acting according to heart values.
• To enable connection to one’s own body and to nature.
• Working with the natural principles of success, such as one’s own wisdom, sensitivity, the seeing/perceiving, the empathic element, the use of one’s own power (also as a method of distancing), intuitive perception.
• Separation of success and pressure.
• Compare the principles of trust and control.
• Application of naturally-inspired leadership instruments, such as using intuitive perception and leading from the impulse.

The decisive limit for humans is created by the limit imposed on human life itself. It is the death of the human body that limits people in their development within this world. The LEADERSHIP Coaching workshop, Crisis Communication and Group Processes in challenging situations, focuses on precisely this border between life and death – because crises, stress and shock situations of all kinds bring us closer to this border – or in the worst case, take us across it. Managers discover where and when they encounter this natural limit and what signals indicate the border. If we are familiar with these signals, we can look out for them. However, if we have lost touch with ourselves and are already caught up in the burnout cycle, we lead ourselves and our environment (company) to the limits of its existence. We will be happy to inform you about the specific content of the leadership- coaching workshop "Group Processes in Challenging Situations" by email or klick here. We look forward to hearing from you!

What is Stress Balance Coaching? The idea behind this term is to restore the balance in relation to stress. “I’d love to just take time out…” – many people think that is the way to reconnect with their lost centre. But it no longer works if the balance has been lost too often. Balance will restore itself in a natural way, but if we don’t give our bodies time to do this themselves, we gradually move into the stress zone without realising it. This initially leads to minor consequences such as hormone emissions, disturbed sleep and lack of oxygen – but the long-term damage is greater. The body and the environment around us are damaged, and all the people near us also suffer. It’s not only our body cells that close up; the link to our centre, to our feelings and perception also shuts down. This Stress Balance LEADERSHIP Coaching workshop clearly reveals the cycle between achieving goals and self-exploitation. The Stress Balance Coaching workshop reflects your personal stressor and its impact on your life. The stressor is the factor that causes long-term stress for you and your organisation, without you being consciously aware of it. It arises from experiences that have not been worked through. If we are not aware of it, it has a great deal of power. We put an end to this unconscious power by experiencing the system’s method and thus preventing it from developing automatically. Only when you know what your stressor is can the balance function and be sustainable. We will be happy to inform you about the specific content of the leadership- coaching workshop "Stress Balance Coaching" by email or klick here. We look forward to hearing from you!

Finding your calling: what is the difference between someone who is true to themselves and someone who would like to be, but can’t? Satisfaction. This LEADERSHIP Coaching workshop focuses on becoming aware of and utilising your greatest but least conspicuous skill. This skill is your deepest talent that you have had since you were a child, an ability that you are deeply familiar with, but not conscious of. The aim of this workshop is to work on uncovering and making you aware of this ability that turns our work into a calling. Among the nine personality types, there are three groups that automatically create a link to things that the majority of people cannot grasp. These three groups sense everything that is not visible. Their superordinate task is to make this information available to everyone else, but that only works when these people know and make use of their deepest talent. The other six groups possess abilities that comprise exceptionally great strength when they are developed. If you develop these abilities, your life gains a good and positive meaning. Secretly everyone is drawn to this meaningfulness. That is the basic idea behind the Champion’s Journey as mediated by Anke Sommer. By using your ability, you grow to surpass yourself. Your importance for your surrounding environment increases to the degree that you use your special ability. We will be happy to inform you about the specific content of the leadership- coaching workshop "Finding your calling" by email or klick here. We look forward to hearing from you!

Intuition means (among other things) ‘presentiment’. Most communication researchers now recognise it as an element in communication. Like any other aspect of communication, intuitive ability can be expanded and developed, but for that to happen you need a natural way of approaching your own intuition. This understanding is precisely the point that we work on during the workshop, thus laying the foundation for intuitive leadership. In this workshop, you participate in group processes during which you experience how and when your body consciousness communicates itself in the form of intuitive information. You will also experience how you can reach sound decisions outside the usual intellectual process, by letting your intuition give the answer. If the sense of a dilemma – whatever I do, it’ll be wrong – has impeded decision-making in the past, from now on you can use your intuition to reach decisions going forward. This workshop also helps establish the link between ‘closed-off feeling’ and ‘somatic perception’. Activating your body perception is the precondition for intuitive communication. As someone with responsibility, you de-clutter your decision-making processes. You recognise situations more quickly and can make the necessary decisions more rapidly. Without this insight, your actions will continue to be mainly steered by your intellect, that is, they are cognitively monitored – because the mind follows well-trodden paths unless you have dissolved this pattern. So under the mind’s direction we initially continue to live according to old patterns. If you follow your intuition, you make it possible to view things from other points of view. We will be happy to inform you about the specific content of the leadership- coaching workshop "Giving the Intuition Adventure a Concrete Form" by email or klick here. We look forward to hearing from you!

Leadership archetypes  are derived from the basic typologies into which people are classified. Archetypes are a classification of ways of thinking and behaving. Recognising your own typology promotes your understanding of yourself and further develops your leadership personality, both on the facilitation level and in terms of personality development. Basically the focus is on understanding your archetype in order to integrate all its positive aspects into your life. Great personal and social tasks are immanent in every archetype. Problems that you repeatedly experience in your life can often be attributed to the fact that you are not utilising your archetype. The archetype is a leadership model. Each of the nine archetypes contains a different type of leadership potential. In this workshop, we find and follow this potential, depending on the place you have currently reached in your development. The basic form of the classification into nine groups is based on the assumption that every individual has a main typological form. With the aid of this identification model, you can develop your archetype. The first step leads you to recognise your current stage of development. The second step enables you to grasp what needs to be done in order to live this archetype. The third and fourth steps develop you further and enable you to put your new-found knowledge into practice. Once you have understood your archetype, you appear more authentic in your actions. You also recognise your unpopular aspects as part of yourself, but after the development in the workshop you will only live out the positive side. We will be happy to inform you about the specific content of the leadership- coaching workshop "Leadership archetypes" by email or klick here. We look forward to hearing from you!
