Systemic coaching is a holistic way of working with individuals, teams, or organizations by seeing them as part of a bigger picture—whether that’s their family, workplace, or community. Rather than focusing solely on the person or group, it looks at how relationships, roles, and dynamics within the system shape behavior and results.

This approach helps people step back, see the full picture, and spot patterns that might be holding them back. It’s especially useful for tackling complex issues where many different factors are involved, offering solutions that fit naturally into their unique situation.

​

What is a System?

A system is a group of interconnected parts that work together as a whole. These parts can be people, roles, relationships, or even structures, and they influence one another in ways that shape the behavior and outcomes of the entire group.

​

The following illustrate examples of systems:

• Family System: Parents, children, siblings, and extended family members who interact and influence each other’s behavior and dynamics.

• Workplace System: Teams, departments, leadership, and organizational culture that shape how work gets done.

• Social System: Friends, communities, or social networks that impact how people interact and relate to one another.

• Personal System: The roles, habits, and relationships in an individual’s life (e.g., work, family, hobbies) that shape their daily experience.​

​

The key characteristics of a system are: 

• Interconnectedness: The parts of a system are linked and affect one another.

• Roles and Relationships: Each person or part has a role and interacts with others in specific ways.

• Patterns: Systems often have recurring behaviors or dynamics that influence outcomes.

• Purpose: Systems usually exist to achieve a goal or function, whether it’s raising a family, running a business, or building a community.​

​

Why Understanding Systems Matters: 

When we look at a system, we can see how individual actions or changes ripple through the whole group. For example:

• In a family, one person’s behavior can affect everyone else.

• In a workplace, a change in leadership can shift team dynamics.

• In a community, cultural norms can shape individual choices.

By understanding systems, we can address challenges more effectively, create meaningful change, and find solutions that work for everyone involved.

​

How Systemic Coaching Helps:

In systemic approach in coaching helps us see the bigger picture and address the root causes of issues, rather than just focusing on isolated problems. Whether you’re an individual navigating personal challenges or a team looking to improve dynamics, systemic coaching offers a way to:

• Understand the relationships and roles that shape your life or work.

• Break free from patterns that are no longer serving you.

• Create solutions that fit naturally into your unique context.

• Build stronger, more resilient connections with others.​
