Leadership and Management Development
Unleashing the potential and energy of people

Coaching

Coaching is one of the most popular and most effective personal and professional development approaches in our fast paced changing environment to increase personal and professional performance.

Coaching is a action oriented creative learning process, driven by an effective and confidential relationship between coach and client, with the aim to improve a client’s personal and professional performance in a particular context.

  • Leadership coaching
  • Small group coaching
  • Entrepreneur coaching
  • Sales performance coaching
  • Life coaching


Depending on the context and clients needs, coaching can be combined with a 360° assessment/ Peili™ which provides a behavioural mirror on current leadership behaviours of the client.

The Coaching Process
One of the fundamental drivers in successful coaching is the commitment by the client to take agreed, forward moving steps between each coaching session.

Coaching works most effectively when it is scheduled as a series of one-to-one sessions, lasting approximately 60-90 minutes, on a weekly basis or every two weeks. This is frequent enough to maintain momentum, and gives enough time between sessions for the client to transfer his learning´s and implement the agreed actions.

Coaching is conducted on a one to one basis by appointment, Skype™ or phone. André is trained to listen in an extraordinary way, so coaching over the phone works exceedingly well.
Coaching is a flexible process which will always be uniquely tailored to the needs of each individual client and context.

Management Team Development

BlueCoachs experience has shown that many management teams are not really a team but rather a group of highly skilled professionals. Having an effective management team which does think, act and perform as a team is crucial to create a more efficient and capable business.

Management team development requires clarity and commitment for:

  • The role of the management team
  • Management team skill sets
  • Building the team
  • Training and development of managers
  • Professional performance measurement
  • Ways of working

Due to the strong need of customizing a management team development process BlueCoach provides a range of interventions like personal interviews, 360 feedback, Peili™/Mirror behavioural assessment, a series of workshops, individual and/or team coaching.

Organizational Culture 

Hofstede Model and Denison Consulting™

  • What elements of your culture are functional and what elements are hindering the strategy to become alive? 

BlueCoach holds an Hofstede™ organizational culture practioner certificate and is as well a certified Denison Organizational Cultue Consultant.

The organizational culture process usually starts with a cultural online survey of the organization generating reports for the Management Team, selected Business Units and the overall organization. 

Through a series of workshops the organizational culture will be defined in conjunction with a analysis of the results from the organizational culture survey.

As a result of the organizational culture process the organization will know how functional the current culture is, to what degree it is aligned with the strategy and what actions to take in order to create an optimal organizational specific culture.
