Systemic Coaching & Constellations
The 3rd edition of Systemic Coaching & Constellations – completely refreshed and with four new chapters – is a practical guide to deepening the impact and reach of your coaching in often profound ways.
The opening chapter invites you to reflect on the impact of joining, belonging and leaving the systems you have travelled through on your journey into coaching and how that affects your work as a coach. New content on the use of systemic questions and resonant systemic language takes you to the heart of the approach and is threaded through the many exercises and case studies offered within the book.
Another new chapter offers a fresh look at the three needs of human beings and so continues to stretch coaches’ thinking, as well as describing how to introduce this approach to clients who lead others.
The first three chapters are required reading before attending the Fundamentals Part I training.
Watch the two minute video below to hear how other coaches respond to the book:
The 3rd Edition is required reading on the MSc in Coaching and Behavioural Change at Henley Business School, as well as on the Advanced Diploma in Coaching at UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School, University College Dublin. The book also features on the Roffey Park Post-Graduate Coaching Certificate and is held in over 40 international university libraries.
The publication of the 3rd edition led to invitations from around the world where a member of the teaching team shares the stance, principles and the practical application that make this approach so distinctive.
The 3rd edition is now available in French, Romanian, Korean and Macedonian and in 2026 it will be published in Spanish. Please scroll down for these language editions. For customer ratings and reviews on Amazon (UK) please see here.
