You have a good life, you know you do. But still, something important is missing. Deep down inside of you are dreams longing to be lived, deeds desperate to be done. You know that too. So what are you waiting for? The time to follow your core is now. And we are here to help you.
C.O.R.E. is a new program based on academic research and a wealth of practical experience. This course has been developed by two professional coaches who will accompany you on your personal online journey.
In the first module, C.uriosity, you will (re)discover what is really important to you. The second, O.rientation, turns these matters of the heart into a reliable compass. This will guide you in modules three and four, which are all about doing the deeds and living those dreams.
R.esilience and E.ndurance are indispensable companions along the way. We offer you the guidance and tools to develop these valuable skills. Once you have completed C.O.R.E., its guidelines will serve you for a lifetime and continue to support you in bringing out your best. We look forward to seeing you shine.

Good to know: part of your C.O.R.E. program is an eminent personal strengths assessment. This test has been developed by leading experts in positive psychology. We use it to help you (re)discover what matters most to you. Also included in the program is one 60 minute one-on-one online session with one of our coaches.
The C.O.R.E. modules
Meet your coaches
C.O.R.E. has been specially developed for be_intentional by Valeria Bernardy and Ingo Hock. They share a passion for exploring the inner and outer world; their curiosity and joy, as their clients and friends will testify, is simply contagious! Both of them a certified coach and trainer with a wide range of international clients, Ingo and Valeria have a wealth of experience to share.
Valeria combines coaching and training teams and individual clients with academic research in the field of organizational psychology. She is currently writing a doctorate on grit in teams. Born in Germany, Valeria has, more than once, followed her core and moved to other parts of the world.
This led her to study psychology in London, train as a yoga instructor in Thailand and more recently to find a home in the Netherlands.

Ingo is based in Germany and works as a business coach, leadership consultant and facilitator. He is one of the co-founders of be_intentional and author of a reference book on leadership and coaching. Very much at home in systemic and design thinking, Ingo supports his clients in turning ideas into action. To him, expressing his core means being a good parent, keeping a meditation practice and going hiking in awe-inspiring places.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do the modules work?Each of the modules opens with a video introduction. In these videos we introduce you to the focus theme (C.uriosity, O.rientation, R.esilience or E.ndurance). Presentations on the topic will guide you to a deeper level of understanding. Then you turn to your workbook to reflect and digest. You will also find exercises and tools to spur you into action. Each module builds upon the previous one, so we do recommend you take them in their consecutive order.
-
How long does the program take?The pace is yours to decide, but you will get the most out of the program if you keep working consistently. The course is designed in such a way that you should be able to complete it in 8 weeks. If you would like to take more time, you can: you have access to the videos for 12 months. All the workbooks are downloadable and yours to keep.

Is the course available in any other languages?At the moment it is not. It is important to us to open up the course and its tools to as many people as possible.
