About
Working with or in a founder-led or family business system can be exciting and rewarding, but is also often very challenging. For founders, family business owners and their employees and coaches.
A systemic perspective and method offers a respectful way to surface what’s held in the unconscious of these complex systems.
For example, founders are sometimes trying to attend to an unconscious need to belong, by creating a sense of ‘my family’. Others are caught up in a fight and a need to control everything. These and other deep patterns causes a number of challenging dynamics in the business that can be respectfully illuminated and softened through systemic intervention and constellations.
The struggles with control, letting go and handing on to the next generation are distinctive challenges and common patterns in a founder-led or family business. As the organisational system ages, the original energy or intention can become less clear or energising. There is very often also a need to address the question: who or what has priority in this business?
This two-day learning journey offers an introduction to this many-layered topic as well as offering opportunities to explore particular issues connected to a founder-led or family business system you are in or work with as a coach or consultant.
Facilitator
This workshop will be facilitated by John Whittington, founder of Coaching Constellations and author of ‘Systemic Coaching & Constellations.‘
On the evening of May 3rd there will be a drinks reception to launch his book in French language edition.
