What makes the Core Quality concept and the Core Quadrant® methodology unique?

The concept of Core Qualities is a positive, intense and energizing approach that makes people aware of the unique qualities they have as long as they can remember. Qualities that are natural to them and cost them no energy to apply. Qualities that colour all their other qualities. When people know, explore and exploit their Core Qualities to the full, they will feel happy and fulfilled.

The methodology of the Core Quadrant® is an easy to understand and apply tool that helps people to discover when and how their Core Qualities may become ineffective, for themselves and in relation to others, and how to avoid this.

Using the Core Qualities concept and the Core Quadrant® methodology in an effective way makes it stand out among any other approaches, because the coachees will feel more deeply connected to the result, and change will come from inside.

Our approach

At the start of this two-day certification program for coaches, we will explore the specific wishes and needs of each participant and discuss how we can integrate them into the program.

During the first day, we focus on experiencing the value of the Core Quadrant® methodology by applying it on yourself. In the second day we present to you the many ways the Core Quadrant® can be used in your role as a coach and how you can support your coachees in applying it for themselves and in interaction with others.

Participants will get two books ‘Fancy Meeting Me Here…!?’ and ‘Building Commitment and Enthusiasm in Organisations’ by Daniel Ofman at the end of the session.

Themes to explore and discuss during the training:

• Core Qualities and how to define and position them
• Application possibilities of the Core Quadrant® methodology
• Levels of applying the Core Quadrant® (individual and team)
• The Core Quadrant® under stress
• Three types of double quadrants
• Mask quadrants projecting the wrong Core Quality
• Relationship issues in the Core Quadrant®
• Personal Development Plans
• Competence Profiles and Core Qualities
