How do we find the right coach?
1. Clarify the issue and the context
At the beginning, the coachee explains the issue at hand and outlines key details—such as the topic, objectives, expectations of the coach, format, and desired timeframe.
2. Receive three suitable coach profiles
Based on this information, we select three quality-assured coach profiles from our pool that are a good fit for the client’s needs, role, and professional context.
3. Compare profiles and coach
The coachee can review the profiles and schedule an introductory meeting with any coach. Afterward, he or she chooses the profile that’s the best fit.
4. Tailor coaching to individual needs
Together with the selected coach, you will coordinate the dates, format (in-person, online, or hybrid), and frequency of the coaching sessions.

Frequently asked questions
For coaching to be effective, it is very important that the chemistry between you and your:r coach is right. To this end, you can define in advance which personality traits you prefer in a:r coach and communicate your wishes regarding working methods, age and gender when you make your inquiry.
The proposal we send you contains three profiles of coaches who have undergone a four-stage selection process and therefore meet the highest quality criteria on the coaching market. The recommended coaches are particularly familiar with your specified topic (your "main reason" for coaching, e.g. conflict, leadership or stress) and meet your individual requirements. We make sure that you receive three coach profiles that are as diverse as possible so that you have a choice of different personalities. If there is still no person who meets your requirements, please get in touch with our customer service team and we will find a solution together.
The coach will contact you to arrange the first appointment.
With your binding booking of a coach, a certain amount of time is released (depending on the package booked, e.g. 6 hours), which you can allocate flexibly and in a way that suits you.
How long a Team Coaching lasts (e.g. 60 minutes or half a day to a whole day) and at what intervals depends very much on your situation: The topic, your time availability and the urgency are often the deciding factors here.
In many coaching processes, several weeks pass between two sessions. If any issues remain after the coaching session, you can book another Team Coaching with the same person or another coach at any time.
You can reach us via customer service (service@haufe-akademie.de) and we will help you as quickly as possible with any questions or problems relating to the coaching you have booked through us.
In your request, you can specify which form you prefer for your personal coaching process: in person on site, online or a hybrid form. In consultation with your coach, you decide for each session whether you will meet at the coach's premises or at a location suggested by you, or whether the appointment will take place by phone or video tool.
