You will learn to guide your clients to experience their challenges from simple but fundamental perspectives with AIMA’s transformation procedure. Step by step, you lead them to a point where they realize that they may simply stop creating the situation.
AIMA’s tool for clarification of vision and values help to create new direction and AIMA’s viable action plan ensures that the right actions are taken.
In parallel with the fact that you are trained in the use of the tools by coaching and being coached by your fellow students, your ability to be present and accommodate difficult issues is trained.
The AIMA methods!
Just as only 1/10 of an iceberg is above water, the challenge a client wants to deal with is usually just a symptom of an underlying problem. Attempts to change the problem from symptom level often result in a long and tiresome therapeutic process with many relapses and sometimes the client may even experience that the problem gets worse. Often the conclusion is that the client lacks motivation.
With AIMA’s transformation procedure, you can guide a person directly to the cause. When the root cause is removed, even deep-rooted problems can be resolved in a single session, and often other issues are resolved at the same time. Clients usually experience either immediate release or that they have a clear path to follow. It motivates both coach and client.
We live in a time of change. There is shorter and shorter time between worldwide crises. Many people find it difficult to navigate in this unpredictable world, which often leads to psychological problems.
The training is divided in 5 modules. The first module trains you in using the Aima tools to coach your self. The next 3 in coaching your fellow students and the fifth module in coaching "strangers."
