Purpose:

The
purpose of this programme is to provide intermediate and senior level coaches,
psychologists, counsellors, and educators, with the knowledge, skills, and
practical experience to implement the Ride the Waves Coaching Series
independently at clients on individual and group level.  The Ride the Waves Coaching Series was
developed over an 8-year period by integrating affective neuroscience, social
neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, the
neuroscience of memory, neuro-narrative therapy, polyvagal theory, the
neuroscience of trauma, functional neural network theory, organisational
psychology, system psychodynamics, positive psychology, cognitive psychology, attachment
theory, 30 years of wellness theories, open systems theory, and complexity
theory. This is a 12 month advanced coaching programme

What will coaches learn?

The programme is divided into 3 parts:

• PART 1: Ride the Waves Resilience Journey (17 weeks)

Coaches will first experience the Ride the Waves Coaching journey as a client would, both on individual and group level. This experience is important as it allows coaches to appreciate the experience of clients, but also develops the coach’s capacity for resilience, enhancing deep insight into their own behavioural drivers and the impact it has on their personal and professional life.

• PART 2: Applied Neuroscience Literacy (8 weeks)

Coaches receive in-depth, advanced training on applied neurosciences and the integration with psychology, industrial psychology and wellness. Coaches are trained on BrainFit Partners protocols and techniques with opportunity to practice in a safe environment. Ethical issues in practice, referral protocol to health care professionals and documentation of the coaching process are discussed.

• PART 3: Supervised Practical (20 weeks)

Coaches implement the Ride the Waves Coaching series under supervision on both individual and group level.
