Coaching from a Systems Perspective

As leaders and coaches, we live and work in complex systems — our families, our organizations, and the larger world. By deepening and broadening our ability to coach from a systems perspective, we help our client leaders see themselves as human systems working and living in larger systems. When leaders understand those systems and how they operate, they are better able to achieve their goals.

The course covers:

· The Butterfly Model of Complex Human Systems

· Coaching in the External System: Systems Thinking, System Archetypes, a systems learning cycle, and emergent learning

· Coaching in the Internal System: intentions, internal narrative, mental models, underlying stories. See 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,& 6.

· How the external and internal systems impact our interactions with clients and self as a system

· Exploring Capacity Development at Five Levels concepts, tools, skills, stance, and being

“I'm thrilled! Immediately after the course I had two intense and challenging client meetings. In both meetings, my role was stronger as a result of my learning in the course; in part because I had a greater awareness of the systems context, and part because I had more confidence in my instincts.”
