METALOG® 5-day Trainer Certification – The METALOG® Method

The METALOG® Method - the process-oriented approach for fostering sustainability in organizational change and personal development

The METALOG® Method integrates experiential learning strategies into a systemic and solution-oriented approach. Pioneered by Tobias Voss, it mirrors more than 15 years of experience in delivering training and organizational development programs as a hypnotherapist with clients such as Nokia, Audi and Deutsche Telekom. The METALOG® Method allows (learning) teams to discover at first hand how they truly interact with each other. Through playful yet challenging settings, the METALOG® Method unravels the interpersonal and emotional layers of team interaction, authentically reflecting the systems in which the teams operate in their working lives. This systemic and solutions-oriented approach gives teams the space to explore how they perceive themselves and each other in order to improve their communication strategies and hence collaborate more effectively.

Target group: Trainers, Facilitators, Mediators, Therapists

Topics:

Tobias demonstrates his concept of “contracting”, which is the basis for fostering sustainability through clarifying the assignment with the customer

Delegates will

• acquire new target-oriented methods of setting the scene for their own training activities and learning projects in order to maximize the learning effect
• learn how to apply the concepts of “learning in reverse” and “polycontextuality” to their own training programs
• learn how to apply hypnotic, multi-level language to imply meaning
• learn a new set of positive, solution-oriented intervention strategies such as metalanguage and dissociation/observer stance
• develop a deeper understanding of the processes at play in group interaction
• acquire new debriefing strategies for more effectively applying their groups’ experience of the learning project to the real world
• experience a big part of the METALOG® training tools

This “training of trainers” program is completely learner-centered, with the delegates engrossed in fascinating activities that help them explore their own perceptions of their world. Their feedback and personal experience of the activity play a crucial role in the reflection session and, indeed, in the concept of “living metaphors”, which lies at the heart of the METALOG® Method.
