Personal competence

• Self-assessment of one’s own behaviour

• Leading a process
• Questioning
• Clarifying meanings and connotations
• Creating hypotheses
• Offerings on an abstract level
• Initiating a change of perspective
• Legal basis

• Agreeing on a communication context for coaching

• Economic sector, topic-specific or cultural abilities (specialization).
  Note: topical competence is not part of the minimum content. Topical competence formulates the abilities that are to be considered with regards to a particular furthering in training, for example management.
