The aim of the training to become a systemic supervisor is to impart practical knowledge in order to work in a goal-, resource- and solution-oriented manner. In addition to the application of creative systemic supervision methods, the focus is on the development of personal skills and abilities. Participants receive a variety of training opportunities and targeted feedback on their skills and abilities in order to identify with the role of a supervisor and develop their own fundamental personal attitude. This includes both the professional content and the personal side of professional action. The participants' practical work is supervised through video recordings or live consultation. Our international team of trainers also provides participants with a wide range of insights and suggestions for different issues and challenges.
The practice of supervision and coaching in clinical, therapeutic and educational contexts, in personnel and team development and in counseling is diverse. A wide variety of interests and goals are reconciled.
In practice, this means meeting diverse expectations with communicative skills and systemic attitudes, as summarized in the learning objectives of system and process competence. These include
The training is based on the systemic solution-focused approach of the NIK, the hypnosystemic approach of the ISA and other systemic change concepts.
