Master class for coaches

Nomadic consultants bring together an exceptional pool of experience based on coaching hundreds of executives from numerous countries across the world. We seek to share our experience broadly among coaches at all levels. Two important ways we do this are:

Organisational Constellations for coaches, trainers and consultants: three workshops to be held on 1 December 2009 and 22 March 2010 in Amsterdam, and 7 December 2009 in Helsinki.

What are organisational constellations?
Organisational Constellations are a powerful, astounding and far-reaching method for exploring burning issues and entrenched patterns in organisations. Based on the systemic work of Bert Hellinger, the constellating process draws on the embedded intelligence of a situation to reveal hidden dynamics in key areas such as leadership, conflict resolution, relationships between stakeholders or between founders and their successors, culture change, management of innovation, organisational restructuring amongst many others.

For whom
These sessions are aimed specifically at coaches, trainers and consultants. They may have one or more of the following objectives:

Bring in a client case for supervision
Learn from others in a peer group
Know more about systems constellations as a method

How are Organisational Constellations set up?
After an issue holder describes a work related dilemma, including what needs to be different, the facilitator identifies the key elements of that dilemma. The issue holder then chooses other workshop participants to represent those elements: colleagues, customers, suppliers, owners, workers, governments, competitors, other stakeholders, nations or ethnic groups, or even more conceptual elements like resources, limitations, goals or the future. These elements are then intuitively placed in relation to each other. What is surprising is that the representatives are able to feel deeply and report accurately the experience of those they are representing. This reveals hidden dynamics that are worked with creatively to explore new and deep perspectives that go below conventional awareness to reveal profound resolutions.

A constellation shifts people's perception of where problems come from and suggests ways to move forward differently that strengthen and build. The new perspectives allow issue-holders fresh insights, a renewed sense of possibility and a strong focus on action. In addition, a synchronous shift sometimes takes place in the real organisation or community that has been represented. (Judith Hemming)

Testimonials

It was a wonderful experience for me and I got a lot of insights.

Fredrik’s excellent group facilitation and feedback giving techniques are admirable.

During a very challenging time in my career, this motivated me to stay true to my personal vision and keep learning.

The workshop provided a welcome respite from my hectic workday world, allowing time to reflect on my beliefs about coaching, personal and professional development.

I came away much more confident and focused about my own improvement.
