About John Whittington

I am a personal and professional development coach working with solopreneurs, founders and family businesses as they explore the deep patterns and existential challenges of their life, their personal relationships and their leadership. I work through a systemic lens and methodology and have been teaching systemic coaching and constellations worldwide for twenty years, now leading and mentoring the international teaching faculty.

After many years of offering workshops on many subjects I now focus on one subject, a subject that includes many others. Solopreneurs, founders and family businesses. All my constellation workshops now focus in this area and I am writing a substantial book on the subject. The coaches who attend the workshops also specialise in working with founders and family businesses and many of them are solopreneurs themselves. In this way they get an opportunity to explore their own patterns, loyalties and resources as well as explore their clients issues – which are often a mirror of each other. The workshops also offer a place for them to bring their clients, so that they too can ‘find their place and make a difference’ as their coach can witnesses the underlying dynamics and resources come to life.

My writing and workshops are underpinned by an understanding of the innate human need to belong and the hidden loyalties and dynamics that emerge in systems as a result. These dynamics can make life, relationships and leadership very complex, however constellations and the understanding that underpin them offer a practical, respectful way of accessing and then influencing the system. The articles on this site are a repository of reflections and insights drawn from my experience in professional practice working with a wide variety of men and women from different parts of the world and in many contexts.

In 2020 my book ‘Systemic Coaching & Constellations‘ was published in 3rd Edition. 

In 2027 my second book ‘The Origin Story‘ for solopreneurs, founders and family busineses will be published.
