innerPictures Coaching...

... is a work with your inner images. We distinguish between Single Coaching and Team Coaching because the approach feels different even though the technique is almost the same. An important fact that might already be familiar to you but, since it is crucial for the understanding of innerPictures Coaching, has to be pointed out: Everything we have experienced in our lives our brain has "saved" as neuronal images or "pictures" – even details we have consciously forgotten.

innerPictures Coaching is based on the science of Synergetics which has been defined in 1977 by the physicist Prof. Hermann Haken. He did research in the field of chaos theory and self organization as well as brain functioning and discovered that the brain follows the principles of self organization when storing information. For our practical work we use this principle to ensure that nothing is being programmed - instead, new experiences and "pictures" develop through the process work in inner images.

cell: a self organizing system just like our body and brain

Single Coaching:
Central approach is the innerPictures process work in a state of relaxation where the client enters into the images that come up by directly addressing them with an "active dialogue". This talking to the images represents the synergetic impulse which destabilizes the old neuronal image structure and gives way for the synergetic principle of self organization, the development of new images, new feelings and a new order.

… this sounds very theoretical – I believe that one can only fully grasp the potential of innerPictures Coaching having experienced it personally. The fascination of what you can go through with your own images, pictures and stories cannot be described in a general manner... it is like a journey to yourself, to your personal goals which everybody experiences in a very individual way. Common for almost everybody is the joy that brings about the change process and the recognition and resolution of blockages, that may have made one act in certain structures over and over again.

innerPictures Coaching works with a whole set of tools (e.g. sounds, inner authorities, active dialogue) allowing an easy access to the inner images, recognition of linked connections between different scenes and situations as well as a new experience in the given scenes.

As innerPictures Coaching in its key elements TRIAL, TRANS and PROJECT works exclusively on the level of whatever image comes up there is no such question whether the work is suitable for a certain problem or goal. Everybody who has gone through TRIAL will have a very clear understanding of what innerPictures Coaching can do for her/him.

If a job related problem is the key issue it will show up in the pictures – if it relates to personal or health issues it will show up as well. If the client wants to work towards a specific goal the scene of entry where the client enters his inner pictures can be chosen accordingly.

Crucial in all coaching sessions is the finding of the original scene or experience which has set the structure for resulting feelings and then allowing the change to develop in the innerPictures process. It is a "natural" development of change through communication and action!

Many present problems are related to such critical life factors from the past and it is very awarding to accompany clients and see the change they can bring about in their personal and professional life.

For companies innerPictures Single Coaching supports individual change and integration processes that have a positive impact on team behaviour and creativity. Even though steps in this coaching technique cannot and must not be planned like it can be done for example in time management or software trainings, experience has shown that there is a “de-velopment” in the literal sense of the word’s meaning. The principles of synergetics imply that – similar to our understanding of evolution – the synergetic self organization process will always lead to a new state of greater quality.

Team Coaching:
The difference in Team Coaching is a set scenery in the beginning which is created by a story and sound. The team members enter into an adventure journey in inner pictures where they can act, resolve problems, perform in a playful way, complete assignments or just be creative. Every contribution of one team member influences and recreates the pictures of everyone in the group which has tremendous integrative effects... Moreover it can be used as a timeline project research in inner pictures where the team members see different phases of a certain project or product which leads to a very transparent and 3-dimensional type of "brainstorming".
