This 8-day program offers you the opportunity to further develop and master the art of team coaching and leadership with a systemic perspective.
The program is diverse and in-depth, combining theory with hands-on experience, reflection, practical application, personal development, and utilizing yourself as an instrument for team development and systemic leadership. No prior experience with systemic work or constellations is required, but it is certainly welcome.
Language: English (if you want to follow this program in Dutch, check this webpage)
The program consists of two four-day sessions (2 modules), with sufficient time in between to integrate what you have learned and developed. We conduct this program in an environment of exchange, exploration, action, non-judgment, and confidentiality regarding issues or cases.
If you’re eager to participate but can’t attend a day, no problem! We’ll ensure you stay connected!
Systemic coaching was developed around 20 years ago by Jan Jacob Stam and Bibi Schreuder. It is a form of systemic work without using constellations. You can practice it live, over the phone, or online.
The starting point for systemic coaching is a deep understanding of systemic principles and dynamics, both in the visible and underlying currents. Plus, genuine curiosity. People possess systemic wisdom within them, often unconsciously. The “only” thing you need to do as a systemic coach is to align with the systemic knowledge that individuals and teams already have beneath the surface. By asking the right questions and making meaningful interventions, you can help a team move forward.
Teams and organizations are complex systems, making it fascinating to unravel the underlying dynamics and identify leverage points.
Issues often relate to structural problems—something that repeatedly arises or remains unresolved—or untapped potential. Teams can solve many problems independently, but when they struggle to do so, it’s valuable to delve deeper into the underlying dynamics.
The iceberg metaphor is useful here: what is visible (e.g., behavior or procedures) is only a small part. What lies beneath, below the waterline, is much larger and often has a significant, sometimes decisive, impact. This is the area where systemic team coaching dives in: the undercurrents.
A general rule is: what is not visible controls the system. In the uppercurrent, we make plans and create visions. This is more the analytical domain, where we discuss what is good or not good/bad. Here, we talk about problems, and it’s very human to want to solve them to move forward.
The undercurrent involves subtle, unconscious dynamics and patterns that significantly influence the whole. Here, we deal with symptoms. By understanding what these symptoms mean, you, as a team coach, can make appropriate interventions. Good interventions unlock what is stuck, leading to breakthroughs. Blockages can become stepping stones to better collaboration, performance, and more (work) satisfaction.
The program is led by Dees and Jan Jacob. We’ve already introduced ourselves a bit between the lines. If you’d like to know more about us, feel free to read further.
You can also contact us (call or schedule a Zoom meeting) to get an impression of whether this program is a good fit for you.
This program is designed for managers, (independent) team coaches, team leaders, HR professionals, business owners, executives, and others who, in one way or another, lead or simply feel that this program resonates with them.
Dees and Jan Jacob have worked with teams across various sectors and organizational levels all over the world throughout their careers.
We’ve explored many corners, both figuratively and literally in many countries. From this experience, which we continuously enrich by staying hands-on with teams and organizations, our form of systemic team coaching and leadership has emerged. The significant difference between team coaching and individual coaching is that, in team coaching, you can choose interventions for the whole or the parts.
We know how to make a systemic diagnosis, design interventions, and execute them. We’ve developed a treasure chest full of methods, and we are especially well-tuned to use ourselves as instruments for team development.
This art and craft are transferable – or better said, developing this art and craft is transferable – and that’s what we offer in this program.
By the end, you will have a comprehensive framework of theory, methods, and skills to work as a team coach, with yourself as a finely tuned instrument, ready to strike the right chord with a team.
We work with “ingredients” for each session instead of a fixed program to optimally align with the participants, maximizing the learning effect. In any case, your toolbox will be well-stocked!
This is not a training to learn how to facilitate organizational constellations, although we will use many visual methods.
Note: Case studies are very welcome. We learn primarily by doing. If you bring a case study, you can immediately try out your systemic interventions “in the wild” after the session.
There is ample parking at the venue. Coming by public transport? A bus from Groningen Central Station stops right in front of the door. Please note, take line 5 towards Harkstede (there is another line 5, but it does not pass by our location). Or, take an OV bike from Groningen Central Station. After a 6 km ride, you will arrive at the location. Most participants stay in the center of Groningen.
