Cognita and the business weekly Lider are offering scholarships to three subscribers for the ‘Be a Coach’ program amounting to 50%, 30%, and 20% of the program price. The scholarships will be awarded to three existing or new subscribers of Lider who submit the best motivational letters.
The certification program for the coaching profession ‘Be a Coach’ lasts eight months and starts on February 19, 2016, with workshops held on Fridays and Saturdays. This year marks the enrollment of the sixth generation of participants. Certified trainers and coaches Renata Takač Pejnović and Dragan Knežević, with years of experience and their own practice, developed this program based on the curriculum of the postgraduate study at the Faculty of Economics in Zagreb and international schools and training for coaching.
The ‘Be a Coach’ program provides a solid foundation for independent or internal coaching professions, using coaching as a skill or for personal development. Based on educational experiences and quality programs mastered and then conveyed by the program trainers, it is focused on the Croatian environment and influenced by experiences in coaching practice in Croatia. The program also acknowledges the reality of coaching as a practice that is continuously and rapidly evolving, educating participants about many different methods that will later become the foundation of their coaching practice and quality.
Additionally, participants will begin applying practical coaching almost from day one, absorbing experience from both sides of the coaching process: as coaches and as its users. This practice is conducted under the supervision of program leaders who guide the mutual coaching of participants.
