PAID EVENT: Systemic Coaching Circles

Past Participant Feedback

"I am the kind of person that learns from experience rather than books, hence I signed up for the coaching circle. I wanted to hear from the experiences of others – and also contribute mine.
Participating in the monthly circle meetings did not only help me develop solutions and next steps for my own challenges and project situations I was facing at the time. It also gave me an opportunity to enhance my coaching skills by helping other participants to explore the scenarios they shared."

What is a coaching circle?

A coaching circle is a closed group that meets regularly over several months. During each session, circle members have the opportunity to support each other on current work challenges or issues.

What’s the benefit of being part of a coaching circle?

Being a team or enterprise coach, facilitator or change agent can often be quite a lonely place. People in such roles often spend the majority of their time supporting others whilst themselves feeling unsupported. A coaching circle is a safe place to explore their fears and concerns and to work through problems and stuck patterns that often they’re not able to work through on their own.

What are the main methods used?

The main methods used are Action Learning Sets and Dialogue.
An Action Learning Set is a closed group that meets regularly over several months. During each session, members have the opportunity to support each other on current work challenges. The objective is to explore a question from your work with discussion and input from a group of colleagues, so that you learn from their thinking and experience and from the questions they bring. It is a deeply enriching process and a wonderful way of learning through reflection and shared experience.
Dialogue, on the other hand, allows for a more organic process to unfold, so that powerful insights emerge from the group field.
This combination of Action Learning and Dialogue makes for a very powerful combination of actively working on individual challenges whilst simultaneously allowing for the emergence of insights in a more co-created, generative way.
We may draw on other approaches including Systemic Constellations, Presencing Institute’s Case Clinics, Bohmian Dialogue, Relational Mindfulness and Insight Dialogue.
