This 5-day live, ICF-accredited training course with Dr Magdalena Bak-Maier, Grid creator and master coach-therapist will equip you with the theory and practical tools to help you and your clients become more intentional with time for better outcomes, wellbeing and fulfilment.
Most coaching aims at improving a specific area of a client’s life. But this ignores the fact that the different arenas of our lives are interdependent and affect each other. Making headway in one direction can easily come at the expense of something else. If our clients get stuck in a loop, we might fear that the client’s situation is simply too complex. Have you ever doubted your value as a coach or wished your sessions were more powerful?
The Grid framework supports clients in flourishing across the board by harnessing the power of balance. This powerful and profound way of coaching develops the power of the client’s mind, heart, body and spirit. Grid coaching builds confidence in the coach and helps clients heal.
By joining this training you will learn to coach clients towards powerful gains in life, work, career and self-care, with positive effects that ripple out in all directions. You will also improve your balance.
Learn with a leading practitioner and master teacher in a fun, relaxed and highly nurturing environment.
Build and grow your coaching qualifications.

Grid is also included in the latest WeCoach! Coaching Tools Handbook (2021) and has attracted over 25 Grid Ambassadors from the UK, the EU, and the USA.

As well as having a PhD in neuroscience, Magdalena also has a professional counselling qualification, a certificate in existential psychotherapy and coaching, and is an accredited trauma recovery CRM therapist. She is currently completing a psychology degree in mental health and wellbeing with the University of Wolverhampton.
The Grid for Coaches training will introduce the power and versatility of the Grid method and the Grid coaching approach, offering a highly effective and practical means of supporting executive, life and wellbeing coaching clients.
Delegates will be introduced to a number of key neuroscience and psychological theories that help us understand what helps people do well and what gets in their way.
The programme is highly practical and expertly integrates three vital strands:
This module will introduce the importance of balance as a key principle for wellbeing and flourishing, as well as the basic structure of the Grid and how it can be used in coaching to help clients seize the day. The basic premise here is that we’re always met with unknowns of life that present natural anxieties, but it is how we meet them and the meaning we make of them that create our reality. Many clients are either stuck in the past or the future and internally disconnected. Help your clients step into greater agency and power by learning to safely explore what is and how things impact one another, and develop embodied critical self-awareness to support more wholesome choices.
In this module, you will learn how to underpin big-picture thinking with detail and execution using the ins and outs of the full Grid method. Current emphasis on achievement and status drives imbalance and internal disconnect between mind, heart, body, and spirit. We will explore two theories that provide important context for what drives us forward and how imbalance hides, hinders or stalls progress. We will use Grid-based tools to support forward movement on healthy terms and the power of monitoring and auto-feedback.
The focus of this module will be to support the first two parts of the course with key neuroscience and psychology theories. When we operate outside a critical window of tolerance we all become dysregulated and safety is compromised. Learning to pay attention to both our state and the client’s state quickly connects us to resources for safety, connection, and resilience. This knowledge helps coaches and clients work more effectively by keeping the nervous system grounded, mind and body connected and client integrated. Discover how to tap into the power of a compassionate stance to support effective change and fuel positive self-regard.
This module will help you leverage all the learnings and help clients turn toward their future. We will learn how to support clients in moving closer to their version of a good life in ways that resource and energize them. We will use Grid-based tools to support forward movement and apply these techniques toward projects and specific goal/vision realization. Setting goals takes courage and can be unnerving. Clients often fear success as much as failure. Effective coaching here calls for high-level attunement where we can see and feel the wholeness of our client. Emphasis will be given to the skills needed to create a highly attuned coach-client environment where clients feel safe and able to do their key work, where they feel seen and heard, and where their truth is sacred.
This module will bring together all the learning Grid-style highlighting how to use the Grid method to support continuous learning and development of practice as well as professional service. It is designed to provide coaches with an important opportunity to revisit all three strands of the course, consolidate and share their learning, as well as give additional space for triad practice. Many coaching courses often focus on theory but we want to ensure you feel confident in implementing what you’ve learned.
The goal of this session will be to present Dr. Magdalena Bak-Maier and the Grid and show how useful and powerful the Grid method is for clients and coaching, why it is very needed in today’s world, and explain how the Grid for coaches training is organized and what it can offer coaches and HR people.
