Solution-focused coaching helps people move toward what they want rather than staying stuck in problems. Erickson’s methodology emphasizes:

• Possibility thinking
• Clear outcomes
• Practical action steps
• Deep listening and powerful questions

The approach is grounded in neuroscience, human development, and the International Coaching Federation (ICF) coaching competencies.

The OPEN DAY itself is an introductory experience and not a certification program. However, it gives you a real preview of Erickson’s internationally recognized professional coach training, The Art & Science of Coaching™.

If you are unable to make the session live, there's no need to inform us.

All registrants will receive a playback of the session- but please note that activities in breakout rooms are not recorded.
