INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the BSC Systemic Coaching Toolkit. You can use this toolkit in various ways to help your clients explore issues in your coaching sessions, gain different perspectives, and find solutions and appropriate actions.

Some of the ways you can use the BSC Systemic Coaching Toolkit include:

1.    SYSTEMIC OR CONSTELLATIONS COACHING

Systemic coaching (or constellations coaching)  is an approach that looks beyond an isolated individual and examines them within the context of the larger networks, relationships, and environments they belong to. These larger networks, relationships and environments are the systems or constellations that the individual is working in.

  1. Ask the client to define the issue/context – for example, looking at team dynamics or mapping stakeholders that need to be considered.
  2. Ask the client to choose the piece and place it where they wish. Ask them to consider how they are differentiating between the size of pieces, for example, order, importance or order of seniority.
  3. Once all persons or elements are represented, ask the client to take a moment to get centred and let themselves feel the issue.
  4. Explore the plotted system with the client by asking open questions such as who, what, when, where, describe, etc.
  5. You can use the ribbons in the BSC Systemic Coaching Toolkit to delineate particular groups or to show connections between persons or elements.
  6. Reflect, discuss, move pieces as needed to help the client explore the issue.
  7. Consider the impact of actions by exploring the potential impact on the system depicted- does anyone or anything shift, etc?

2.    SCALING TOOL

Use the pieces in increasing size to create a scale. Ask the client:

  1. What does the thing solved look like? What are you saying/thinking/doing/seeing/feeling/hearing? What are others saying/doing/seeing/feeling/hearing?
  2. Where are you now?
  3. What makes it x rather than zero?
  4. Where is good enough?
  5. What are the next steps?
  6. What is the first step?
  7. What are the signs of success?
