Coaching
Executive and team coaching in practice — the questions, the supervision, the group work, and what actually shifts behaviour.
- Embrace Curiosity! — Whitmore's GROW model drives coaching toward goals and action, and for good reason. But Bernhard Kerres argues it leaves out something essential: curiosity, which recent research links as closely to the human drive as hunger. Sometimes the sharper question is not "what will you do?" but "what will you explore?" First published in Coach Magazine Global, Issue 6, 2024.
- What If? — Standing at Fisterra, the End of the World, where people once believed the earth simply stopped, Bernhard Kerres reflects on what it takes to question a deeply held belief. He turns that into one of coaching's most powerful moves: the "what if" question, and shows why asking it before examining a client's belief system is what makes real exploration possible.

- An Introduction to Musical Group Coaching — Online meetings get work done but rarely build connection. After the pandemic exposed that gap, Bernhard Kerres developed Musical Group Coaching: a ninety-minute format for four to six participants, a coach, and a specifically trained musician, built to reach the emotions that words alone miss.
