Presented by Ellen Browning-Lafferty, PCC
Learning & Development Strands: Professional Development
Program Description:
This workshop is an experiential primer in Systemic Family Constellation work. As both a philosophy and a process, this modality offers a systemic lens to understand inherited patterns and resilience.
Systemic Family Constellations is based on the principle that both challenges and strengths have a lineage. We support clients in leaving behind what hinders their growth while reclaiming what supports it.
As coaches, understanding Systemic Family Constellations helps us establish ethical and balanced relationships with clients, identify barriers to growth, and cultivate trust and safety with those we serve.
Learning Objectives:
-Identify the basic tenets of Systemic Family Constellation Philosophy and how this knowledge supports coaches in embodying the ICF Core Competencies
-Understand methods for cultivating balanced relationships with clients that facilitate client growth.
-Use the Systemic Family Constellation lens to cultivate trust and safety in coaching relationships with clients.
