Relationships matter – A lot.
About Relationship Systems Coaching
In a real sense, all life is interrelated. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly … I can never be what I ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be, until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.
The relationship with ourselves is the first relationship we are in; add another person, and we are in a relationship system. Systems are about relationships. We are all part of them, whether in families, at work, with your friends, at the coffee shop. In all relationship systems, we influence each other and the whole, and we´re influenced by the whole. Systems strongly impact the efficacy and ´thrivability´ for all. That´s why we need to pay more attention and up-skill ourselves on Systems Intelligence.
The beautiful MLK quote above captures what relationship- and systems coaching is all about. Relationships address the whole system; you, me, we, us – rather than aspects or single events. All members in a system must engage, and be seen, and be heard to function optimally. But – it is never the job to fix any system. Instead, the task is to reveal the nature of the system to itself. Consequently, this mirroring process empowers the self-regulation function of the system.
In essence, systems coaching creates awareness for all system members to bring more understanding of what impact they have on a system. In turn, systems coaching may help bring awareness to the impact the system has on each member. Finally, this is about how they can address and reveal the system to itself, for purposeful co-existence and growth.
