What our customers say about the course...

Short, strong & activating

"I really enjoyed the compact course with its clear methods. It offers the opportunity to reflect on my own coaching sessions, so that I could refresh elements and add to my toolbox of methods. The bonus video rounds it off appropriately, where Claudia Salowski authentically shows use cases in action."

Andreas Rechter from Vodafone

Good insight into the practical side of things

„I liked the course a lot. You get a reasonable overview. The lessons stay on the surface, how could this be otherwise in the shortness, but the bonus videos give you a good insight into the practice..“

Markus Veith, Managing Director of bettercoach

Contents are precisely presented

Desiree Eller, HSBC Germany

Conveys clearly and goal-oriented how effective creative coaching can be

,,The espresso course "Designing Coaching Conversations Creatively" - conveys clearly and in a goal-oriented way how effective creative coaching can be if the appropriate framework conditions are ensured. Ms Salowski communicates her content precisely and to the point. She opens up her treasure trove of methods for the participants. In doing so, she orients herself to different phases in the coaching process and clearly outlines the effects that can be achieved through their use. The individual instructional videos are technically of excellent quality. All in all, the espresso course encourages the use of creative methods and illustrates the opportunities they offer to secure a good result for the coachee. 

The bonus video was particularly impressive for me, as Ms Salowski gives a real insight into her coaching work here. In this way, the teaching content manifests itself clearly once again. In addition, it comes to expression that Ms Salowski has really found her vocation for her skills."

Bertram Kasper
