Constellations

Constellations is a practical a remarkably effective (though it’s unclear how it works), way of helping people to explore personal, leadership development, business or relational challenges in terms of the systems, of which they are a part. It involves creating a ‘living map’ of collaborators in a way that illuminates the hidden dynamics beneath the issue being explored.

They are particularly useful when the client:

• Has problems with key relationships at home or at work.
• Is struggling with organizational politics
• Is unsure of which direction to take in their life or career
• Lacks or can’t focus their energy
• Doesn’t feel comfortable in their job role

Constellations fit well within the coaching portfolio, because they focus on helping people acknowledge and understand “what is” at both an intellectual, emotional and instinctive level, before considering solutions. The principles come from family therapy, which is concerned with the complex dynamics of relationships.
