About
Working as or with a ‘solopreneur’, founder-led or family business system can be exciting and rewarding, but is also often very challenging. For the founders, owners and their employees – as well as their coaches and consultants.
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 with a need to control everything. These and other deep patterns cause a number of challenging dynamics in the business that can be respectfully illuminated and softened through systemic intervention and constellations.
Difficulties with control, letting go and handing on to the next generation are distinctive challenges and common patterns in a 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 and what has priority in this business?
This three-day learning journey offers a comprehensive 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 learning journey will be facilitated by John Whittington, founder of Life Love Leadership, Coaching Constellations and author of ‘Systemic Coaching & Constellations.’
