Hit the ground running with PMCC management coaching.

Maintain your agility.

Even the most experienced managers and teams reach their limits from time to time. Professional coaching comes to the rescue in these situations, opening up new perspectives, and enabling you to apply your skills even more effectively. Because professional coaching offers the perfect opportunity and the ideal setting to encourage self-reflection and develop personal competence on a lasting basis.

Coaching – effectively augment your skills

Coaching introduces new points of view, helps you master individual or project-specific challenges, and stimulates value-adding growth and development. We support managers, project managers, process managers, change managers, or entire teams in dealing with especially challenging situations in a professional manner. Our coaches help develop and implement solutions, provide clarity and confidence, and promote constructive communication and conflict resolution – with experience, dedication, and invaluable expertise.

A highly individual matter
We view coaching as an individual or project-specific, interactive consulting and support process for objectives in a professional and particularly in a project-related context. Our approach is based on partnership and respect and will mobilise your resources and abilities. We strengthen and develop the skills that will enable you to reach your goals faster and more effectively.

Knowledge transfer and competence development
While a training course aims at building up and developing skills, coaching offers the ideal setting for reflecting on behaviour and building new skills to put theory into practice in your own work. Coaching in the form of crisis coaching is a rapid, unbureaucratic, and professional way to access support for designing and implementing the crisis management process.

How we learn

Education + Experience + Exposure = Effectiveness

“Our employees are our most important asset” – a sentiment that companies love to say, that is certainly true, and that is often put into practice in a way that is less than convincing. And yet highly qualified employees are the best way to counteract the ever-increasing complexity of work tasks. But how might a comprehensive, sustainable, and performance-boosting learning climate within a company look? How can the success of company training measures be ensured?

The key is the smart design and coordination of various training measures within the company. Learning in the professional context is often still seen exclusively as the process of conveying knowledge (education). However, this approach is short-sighted because learning largely takes place in one’s day-to-day work (experience) and not least also by way of targeted competence development (exposure) in the form of coaching.

Effective learning goes beyond taking part in seminars. Formal training measures have a reinforcing effect, but learning also occurs by performing the actual task and practising on an ongoing basis. More and more companies are following this strategy in the interest of a comprehensive approach and offering more possibilities for competence development, such as coaching, in addition to traditional methods of conveying knowledge.

Business coaching – ask the expert

Management responsibility requires active leadership behaviour rather than reactive management measures. I see providing managers with targeted support in the development of their personal resources and leadership skills and the ability to apply them both efficiently and effectively in order to be able achieve success on a lasting basis as an added value in my role as a business coach.
For managers, this means recognising individual areas of potential, abilities, skills, and strengths and utilising them in a way that enables them to independently identify and develop new perspectives that lead to improved options for taking action and finding solutions the manager can choose from as needed in line with the “power of choice”.
As a sparring partner for manager coaching, executive coaching, leadership coaching, and supervisor coaching on a level playing field, I serve as a benevolent, non-distorting mirror in which managers can look at themselves in a different light, thus helping them to help themselves.
I’m more than happy to provide firm but polite input, enabling the participant to go through the five phases of business coaching – from the joint definition of goals, the initial analysis of the situation, and the identification of solutions to the introduction of lasting change by implementing the strategies learned in one’s own day-to-day work and the subsequent analysis of this long-term impact.

For us, coaching is a way to help both individuals and entire teams master specific tasks in a process-oriented manner. We say process-oriented because these problems cannot be solved with a single session, but require development at the personality level including questioning one’s own values and behavioural patterns. The qualified coaches at PMCC Consulting help to facilitate this development by guiding and supporting the client(s) in a neutral, unbiased, and solution-oriented way and treating them as equals. The major strength of the management coaches at PMCC is not just their well-founded, systematic training over many years, but primarily their tremendous expertise, which enables us to determine the specific issues and identify solutions.

Project coaching – competence development in project management

Project coaching is an innovative supplement to traditional training activities in the field of project management. In contrast to seminars, where the focus is on conveying knowledge, project coaching is aimed at developing the competence of the entire project organisation in the context of a real project.
Within the scope of professional project management consulting, the focus of the coaching is on the project deliverables and the quality of the project management, i.e. on providing support in the arrangement of the project organisation and communication and decision-making structures as well as in the design and implementation of the project management processes, methods, and tools.
Regardless of what professionalisation measures you have planned in the area of project management, it takes “quick wins” or “success stories” to achieve a lasting implementation, and project coaching can provide tremendous added value in this context and contribute to your success.

Peer group coaching – an innovative coaching variant with charm

Do you want to upgrade the project management skills of your project managers using alternatives to traditional training formats and at the same time contribute to the optimisation of ongoing projects? We do not believe that these are mutually exclusive goals – peer group coaching would be an ideal solution in this situation. The setting is easy to explain: five to seven project managers meet virtually or in person one day a month for several months with the goal of learning from one another and increasing their individual project management skills. The participants present their own projects, learn from the feedback of the other project managers and the coach, and gain deeper insights into specific tasks within the project. Regardless of whether the projects are implemented using traditional, agile, or hybrid methods, peer group coaching is an innovative form of competence development and ultimately helps in the achievement of goals for the projects that are covered and for the organisation – in the interest of the lasting application of project management standards.

Give people confidence and an overview…

During (individual) coaching sessions for certification, various aspects are at play: On the one hand, it’s about giving a transparent description of the procedure in order to provide an overview. On the other hand, it’s important to explain the structure and the content that is required for the given certification to the coachee. Having a neutral coach or sparring partner here is a tremendous help for many candidates. Projecting confidence that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel even in difficult or unmotivated learning phases is an important task for certification coaching.

For me, addressing people’s individual needs with empathy – often in an international setting (with different cultures and languages) – is the most fascinating aspect. And with an average success rate of 98%, I’m also a little bit proud of the team at PMCC Consulting GmbH.

Coaching: undiscovered solutions, new ways of thinking, unrecognised potential.

Even the most successful managers and teams reach their limits from time to time or want to advance themselves with new perspectives and fresh ways of thinking. What professional project coaching has to offer here – we dedicated a club pm session with Gernot Winkler and Erhard Semlitsch entirely to the topic of coaching and the questions of “What exactly is (project) coaching?”, “What coaching models exist?”, “Does coaching even work?”, and “Who does coaching makes sense for and when?”
