The next B5-PLUS Training starts with Module 1 on Thursday June 20th 2024. Module 2 starts September 24th. See below for details.

The B5-PLUS approach is based on the internationally recognised and scientifically based big five factor model. Human Content has developed it significantly over the last 25-plus years specifically in the occupational space in line with our mission:

– understanding and respect for all varieties of human uniqueness
– enabling organisations and individuals to make better choices
– be the greatest value creator in future decades

The cohort of licensed coaches, business consultants, and HR professionals working in-company is already substantial and this is an opportunity to join the vanguard of practitioners who can lever this leading-edge body of knowledge in many profitable ways.

The training modules are designed as easily managed, short on-line blocks, timed to enable participation from Latam, the US and Europe, all condensed into two modules with supervised and solo-practice sessions and short exam in between.

The two facilitators of the modules will be Thomas Lovenskiold, the CEO of Human Content, and Alan McFarlane, International Development Director and, also, a leading practitioner. We have received much favourable feedback that vouches the quality of the content and training is excellent, as is the amount of individualised support the facilitators give to support participants post-module on their path to mastery.

Joanna Moss, Director of Moss Coaching Associates, London and B5-PLUS license-holder recently commented, ‘The more I use the B5-PLUS approach, the more powerful I find it. It provides a platform for a really deep conversation about someone’s career, aspirations, satisfaction and performance. Yesterday I had an amazing debrief with a very senior banker. It really made him think, particularly about recent and more distant events in the past.’

Dr. Tim Zimmermann, Partner, ZS Value Coaching, Munich and Senior Advisor, Roland Berger Strategy Consultants, Munich, wrote: ‘Human Content is offering a diagnostic toolbox for coaches that is based on science and a match with the job environment of a coachee. The training I received enabled me to unfold the full potential of these tools. It was pragmatic, individual and right to the point. As a result, we will include Human Content diagnostics in our ZS Leadership Advisory approach that is covering the e2e development process of talent. B5-PLUS and F60 assessments will become a regular talent development tool for our clients.’

Paul Peplow, Executive Coach, Former Global Head of Talent, O2, wrote, ‘Definitely the best and most interesting and most human accreditation process that I have encountered. Let’s make some magic happen!’

This is an open training group and as places are limited to ensure quality interactions, the reservation of places will be done on a first come, first served basis.
