Open courses for 2011
This year In Dialogue offered and still offers two different open courses; one on strength based coaching and one on appreciative inquiry. After the spring of 2010, interest for these courses increased rapidly. These courses are open to anyone who has an interest in the subjects and are open to some funding options of the European Union (Comenius and Grundtvig programme).
The interest and the feedback we got made us plan new courses for early and mid 2011. We offer 4 courses, each of five days with maximum 20 participants per course, taking place in the Netherlands and Denmark. Click on the course title below and read more on that course:
Narrative coaching
Strength based coaching
Appreciative leadership
Facilitating change and learning
Working on a consortium for strenth based change
In Dialogue is taking the lead in forming a consortium to form a European provider for strength based educational programmes for HR and OD specialists. Social constructivist, systemic and appreciative theories and approaches will form the foundations for these programmes, not so much the single different approaches. The consortium is slowly forming, yet we still welcome persons and organisations to join at this point in time. Contact us to get connected or just stay in the loop.
Training on Appreciative Inquiry in adult education
Netherlands, 4th to the 9th October 2010
The course will train you in applying appreciative inquiry in order to innovate your programme/project development and evaluation efforts. The approach can be applied to individuals, teams, groups/ classes or even broader to large programmes. The course will be based on the theoretical developments within appreciative inquiry as well as the trainers’ concrete experience with applying the approach to project and programme development as well as to evaluation.

Training on strength based coaching in adult education and career guidance
Netherlands, 13th to the 18th of September 2010
Strength based coaching tries to bring the focus person from the person he or she is to the person he or she wants to be. The road goes via goals, wishes, previous experiences of success, and resources. Rather that getting blinded by starring at problems and all the things that fail, we ask about what the person wants and what the person succeeds with. We focus on what works rather than what doesn’t work. Concretely the approach consists of a set of questions that make the focus person reflect, and which eventually leads to change.
