What is this training about

and what to expect

This training is for people who are interested in enriching their coaching skills. Systemic coaching attracts people of various backgrounds, from professional coaches, consultants, managers and HR experts to people who have had no previous connection to coaching. Training is very practical, providing theory as well as examples and tools for your work with clients. Systemic coaching means we are looking at a person as part of a family and/or organizational system, not as a separate individual in the first place. This approach works at a level of systemic patterns a client is entangled in as part of the system, which is an unconscious level. A well-trained systemic coach is not too concerned about clients thinking, motivation, action, not too much interested in serving or satisfying the client, or helping solve clients issues. Systemic work does not happen on clients’ or coach’s willpower. You can expect that this training will help you to start to notice systemic patterns during coaching dialogue with your clients. You can also expect to start to make some systemic interventions to help your clients get more clarity about the actual situation and movements that can lead to overgrowing their own entanglements. And you can expect that you will be able to create a field where your clients can find good solutions for their issues addressed in coaching sessions.

I would say that systemic coaching is for people who are ready not just to learn new techniques, skills and attitude, but who are ready to become instruments themselves. In this training, we will learn a lot about systemic questioning, systemic listening, systemic dialogue, and, in general, how to be systemically present and make interventions. You might be surprised what you will learn as a coach!
