Facilitate self-discovery and transformative outcomes for
your clients.
As a coach, you know that without an understanding of self,
and an awareness of others, change can be challenging. The power of the Birkman
Signature Report is its ability to convey fine-grained realities about the
individual, and how these express themselves within the context of others.
No one operates in isolation, and no coaching engagement can
effect lasting transformation without recognising context and its effect. TBM
provides a framework for understanding the 'why' of reactive behaviours,
self-sabotaging and environmental de-railers, all in a non-judgemental way.
When we understand who we are, and how this may differ from
the people around us, we can really begin working on specific development
goals, to move us in the right direction.

Coaching with TBM
Coaching with The Birkman Method is like having a detailed
cheatsheet of who an individual is and what makes them tick. Instead of relying
on how well an individual is able to understand (let alone accurately describe
and articulate) their own motives, behaviours and challenges, Birkman provides
the individual with a mirror in which to observe the complex dynamics at play
in their everyday lives, both at work and at home, in moments of calm and times
of pressure.
The same individual is present in each context, but - like
flicking switches on a circuitboard - different situations trigger specific
(and ultimately predictable) responses. Learning to read these switches, and
the circumstances that trigger them, is essential to developing self-awareness
and managing reactive behaviours.
Career Transitions
The Birkman Signature Report is the perfect partner in
career coaching conversations, providing objective data on higher and lower
areas of interest, strongest areas of contribution and the clients preferred
work environment.
Career Matching data based on reference groups of Job
Families and Job Titles is available to support career transition or
development conversations. These provide a good menu of options for clients to
consider along with the self insights gained from their Signature Report.
Executive Coaching
An objective understanding of 'who you are' - from strengths
and motivations, to potential blindspots and de-railers - is critical to unlock
leadership potential and overcome challenges in high-stakes contexts.
The 9 fine-grained Birkman Components reveal behavioural
strength, bias and gaps in perspective. They equip leaders with deeper
awareness of the culture they typically create and the levers they have
available to make successful adaptations at each stage and transition of their
journey.

- Process
Registration | Once you complete registration for Certification we'll send you a schedule with all the stages of the programme, and get you set up with your own Birkman Questionnaire and Report if you haven't already completed Birkman. |
Conversation | As part of the course, you'll have a one-hour conversation about your own report, with one of our programme facilitators, 3 weeks before the Live Training. This will help familiarise (or refresh!) you on the data and what your report says about you. |
Prep Course | You'll then be enrolled in the Birkman Method Certification Prep Course, and will have 2 weeks to work through the online content (this usually takes around 4 hours). |
Live Training | If you're enrolled in Virtual Certification, the Live Training will take place over 5 or 10 days, with 1 or 2 Zoom sessions each day of 2.5 hours each (total of 25 hours). If you're enrolled in In-Person Certification, the Live Training will take place over 3 days, usually running from 9am-5pm each day. |
Launch | Once the Live Training stage is complete you will be a fully-fledged Birkman Certified Professional! We'll help you set up an account (if applicable), and you can get started sending questionnaires and running reports. To ensure that you get the best start, we continue to provide support, starting with a bonus Re-connect session ~4 weeks after the Live Training. This is an opportunity to gather the class back together (virtually) and share some additional tips and guidance, as well as hear how your first coaching sessions have gone! |
