Systemic Coaching begins with diagnosis - an analysis of your goals, relationships and history. This is followed by a discussion of your benefits, costs and resources. Then we use meetings, e-mails and telephone calls to design structures that support your chosen goals. Subsequent steps focus on what works (not what's wrong) and on your future solutions (not past problems). This leads to positive, pragmatic change strategies with minimal undesirable side-effects. A systemic coach need not be in the same business as you, in the same community or even in the same country. A coach outside the systems in which you live and work can better provide you with objectivity and perspective - and can help you identify practical out of the box strategies. Your systemic coach helps you clarify your situations, your strategies and your goals. Systemic coaching evaluates resources and steps to achieve goals. You develop control and responsibility. You know your environment, the participants and the rules. Your coach helps articulate and challenge the "rules", while you gain clarity and action steps. What does systemic coaching provide?  Systemic coaching provides you with space to explore, evaluate and take responsibility for strategies and flexibility 215
