Are you interested in finding out about our English coaching programme with no obligation? All you have to do is fill out our registration form, and one of our coaches will give you an initial consultation with no obligation on your part. All of our job coaches are certified systemic coaches with several years of professional experience under their belts. In addition to the expertise they have gained over the years, they have also received additional training in the resource-oriented genogram and High Profiling® methods from our in-house INQUA Academy. Our coaches also regularly attend conferences, seminars and supervision groups where they can share their experiences and learn from each other’s work.
INQUA’s job coaching approach
We offer accredited career coaching for academics, specialists and executives looking for support with their professional reorientation. Our coaching programme for academics, specialists and executives is based on the High Profiling® method, which was developed by the INQUA Institute and comprises two stages: reflection and implementation.
In the first stage, we take an in-depth look at your entire professional biography using the High Profiling® and resource-oriented genogram methods. By carefully reflecting on your career history, background, extra-occupational activities, and interests, we will lay the groundwork for developing and implementing your career strategy.
In the second stage of our AVGS coaching, we will develop and implement strategies to help you find the right job for you. Depending on the situation, this may also involve drawing up application documents, establishing a professional network, and preparing for a specific job application.
What’s our High Profiling® method?
Our AVGS coaching centres around a qualitative semi-structured interview in which you will be asked a series of questions on your job history. The interview will be transcribed and later analysed by experienced specialists.
With our High Profiling® skills profile, we will help you identify your strengths and areas for growth. Next, we will use the skills profile to reflect on your professional and social skills from various perspectives. Any areas for growth identified during the coaching will be worked on throughout the process.
Since your job coach will not be the one analysing your profile, the feedback you obtain will always be neutral and objective. Together with your coach, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the analysis provided, as well as validate and substantiate the hypotheses contained therein.
High Profiling® is a method that has been specially developed by the INQUA Institute in Berlin. In consultation with the scientific advisory council, we are continuously striving to further optimize our method.
What is the resource-oriented genogram method?
A genogram is a form of family tree that is plotted using various symbols. This method is a proven technique from the field of family therapy, which has been specially adapted for career coaching by the INQUA Institute. This method helps you to recognize the values that form the basis for your actions, and enables you to figure out which kind of corporate culture best aligns with your values. By working with genograms, you will also learn about your unconscious beliefs, and thereby broaden your horizons.
By gaining a new understanding of your background and looking at your personal beliefs and values through a more objective lens, it will become easier for you to explore new career paths. Together, we will uncover and work through subconscious barriers that might be holding you back. We will also identify skills passed down from your family that you might not be aware of, and harness them as resources when planning your next career move.
In preparation for the genogram exercise, we will send you an e-mail prior to your second coaching session asking you to complete an online biography assessment.
Making the right impression
After taking some time to reflect on your goals and options, we will then start making concrete plans for your professional reorientation. Together, we will find out what criteria your future workplace needs to fulfil.
We will also provide you with templates and instructions on how to complete your (digital) job application. If required, your job coach will be happy to give you job application training for upcoming job interviews. We will also help you develop your own networking strategy.
The documents and materials given to you throughout the process, as well as the High Profiling® skills profile, can also be completed in English. This offer is primarily geared towards all those wanting to apply for jobs on the English-speaking job market.
