Getting Started
Following our systemic coach training, many graduates
want to improve their ability to coach partners (Systems 8),
families (Systems 9),
teams (Systems
10) and businesses (Systems 11).
To provide effective coaching or training at work, you will likely
require approval and support from:
- line managers
- founder / CEOs
- senior managers
- Human Resources
- potential participants
Offer managers access to systemic coaching,
enabling them to view team or organizational assessments, participate in
discussions or coach participants. When the key players want to be involved, you
may offer to stay with them as a consultant until they can manage the program
alone.
Appreciate Diversity
Accepting diversity can be a powerful advantage in any
relationship system. Understanding and reconciling different perspectives allow
stronger relationships which stimulate productivity and innovation. Systemic
coaching can provide creative solutions for cultural problems.
Demonstrate Competence
Success in systemic coaching requires an ability to perceive
and interpret multiple perspectives to create solutions for systemic problems.
Such intercultural competence can be gained through Soulwork training,
supervision and experience.
When you have competence to demonstrate instead of just
describe ...
- Offer proof
that you can deliver.
- Offer flexible,
cost-effective and convenient elements.
- Show where their people are now, and where
they can be.
- Show that your goals are aligned with their
organizational system.
- Show concrete results. Show typical "before"
and "after" positions.
- Emphasize systems thinking, as you assess their
coaching needs.
- Offer experiences. Provide
key people with experiences of systemic coaching.
- Assume
that people are curious, but that they have little idea about what you offer.
- Show that
you understand their needs; (profile some groups and teams who are in conflict).
Gaining Support for Systemic Management
To gain management support for systemic coaching, show how
systemic leadership can help the managers and the organization. Some
applications of our systemic coaching are:
- provide conflict resolution
- provide personal appraisals
- make recruitment decisions
- coach teams to select leaders
- prepare candidates for promotion
- dissolve personal issues that limit key people
- replicate high performance across an organization
- coach leaders to become examples of competence
- provide couple coaching for top managers and their
spouses
Coaching Contracts & Systemic Leadership
Perhaps offer a six or twelve
months contract, which can be extended. Show that you will support them. Offer
distance coaching. Confirm that you will be proactive, even when staff are difficult to reach.
- Enable managers to use systemic diagnosis.
- Support participants as they apply systemic skills to their
work.
- Transfer expert knowledge and skills to
participants with Expert Modeling.
- Report successes to line managers to
emphasize the value of your training.
- Encourage managers to participate in
discussions and coach participants.
When the key players want to be involved, offer to stay with the
project as a consultant.
