Would you like to understand yourself and others better? In my last blog post, I explained the concept of systemic coaching. Today I would like to show you how this approach can help us to gain a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Holism:
As humans, we live in a social context. This influences our behavior and our perceptions. Systemic coaching therefore views all aspects of our lives – be it personal, professional, emotional or social – as interconnected and influenced. This enables us to better understand our actions, as no system is detached from one another.
Change of perspective:
If we succeed in recognizing a different future as conceivable or putting ourselves in the shoes of others, we develop an understanding for the behaviour of others and can develop alternative options for action. A change of perspective therefore promotes both empathy and our own scope for action.
Asking questions:
By asking questions, coaching encourages reflection and self-discovery. This makes us think more about our behavior, feelings and thoughts. What motivates us and others to act the way we do?
Feedback and reflection:
Feedback is used to recognize and reflect on behavioral patterns. This can help to promote personal growth and change.
Resource orientation:
Systemic coaching focuses on a person’s strengths and resources. This helps to support positive change and develop solutions.
Contextualization of behaviour:
Systemic coaching looks at behavior and reactions in the context of their environment and relationships. This develops a deeper understanding of the reasons behind the behavior.
Conclusion:
It may be challenging to consider all these aspects in your everyday life. But by making a conscious decision to regularly integrate one of these points into your everyday life, you will experience positive changes in your self-image and your communication with others. I look forward to your feedback.
