    From the 2nd and 3rd year, you are asked to practice. If you already practice, it is possible to integrate your own practice into your internship but you will be asked, as far as possible, to devote time from your practice to the application of the model in order to produce work related to your training.

PRACTICAL PROGRESS OF OUR TRAINING

  • How is the remote practice going?
    All classes take place via the ZOOM platform which offers the possibility of creating different spaces/rooms to offer you group work (regardless of the size of the group). In this, it is very easy for us, logistically, to organize these practice times.
  • How to connect to the courses?
    To connect to the lessons, you must have a good internet connection and in the event of an unstable connection, you can do so by telephone, while following the videoconference.
  • Is it compulsory to be present for the lessons?
    The training is in web-face-to-face, so you are asked to be present at the lessons.
    However, we exceptionally accept a few absences (while recalling that one of the module validation criteria is an attendance time of 75%). Although this training takes place only online, we have interaction at heart, because practice is a central point in learning and these face-to-face sharing times allow us to set up an interactional and experiential dynamic. Experience is essential to learning.
  • Is all of the training taking place remotely?
    The entire training takes place remotely but you have the possibility of carrying out your hours of individual supervision in Paris in person. New for 2023: We are setting up the possibility of taking some face-to-face courses (limited number of places).

    You have access to the video recording, the slides, the bibliography, an exchange forum and all the knowledge tests for the validation of your modules by logging into your Moodle account. This account is accessible throughout the duration of your registration at the school.
  • Are all the courses in French?
    Some courses are in Italian or English simultaneously translated into French.

What is strategic systemic coaching in business?

It is the implementation by a systemic coach of an intervention methodology, called systemic and strategic, resulting from the founding work of the Palo Alto School and the essential contributions of Milton Erickson on change strategies, in the service of individual or collective issues that emerge in the interactional complexity of work organizations.
The intervention methodology of the strategic systemic coach is: 
  • systemic in the sense that it takes into account any situation in its entirety and is interested in the many interactions that are woven into it (in the environment of the individual(s) with whom it intervenes, within a team, a service or between the services of the same organization)

 

  • strategic , in the sense that it takes into account both individual and collective and/or organizational resources and limits to help the system get out of problematic situations in an effective and accessible way and to develop alternative operating resources that respect the ecology and the productive balance of the organization.
Strategic systemic coaching can be requested and implemented to support individuals or teams in difficulty in their relationship with themselves, with others or with their work environment: burn-out, harassment, depression, conflicts between two individuals, within a team, between several departments of an organization, etc.

Strategic systemic coaching, heritage of the School of Palo Alto and Milton Erickson

The founders of the School of Palo Alto sought to implement effective interventions to relieve the individual of suffering that emerges from his connection with his context (with himself, others, the world). They focused on mental health issues within families, developing a systemic vision of the functioning of the human organization that is the family, combining it with strategic intervention tools from the work of Milton Erickson on strategies for change.  
In doing so, they have cleared knowledge and expertise conducive to supporting and helping any human person or organization (family, institution, organization, administration), to transform their way of functioning to achieve a goal of relief or development. 
Applied in the business world, it makes it possible to address and resolve situations in which individuals or teams are in difficulty in their relationship with themselves, with others or with the world or the environment: burn-out, harassment, depression, conflicts between two individuals, within a team, between several departments of an organization, etc.

Strategic systemic coaching, quality improvement at work (QVT) and performance science

From a systemic perspective, a healthy work organization, like any human organizational system, is a system capable of changing its own operating rules to resolve the difficulties that arise and/or develop its own resources to best adapt to the constraints of the environment in which it is involved. 
Strategic systemic coaching addresses health and quality of life at work from a biopsychosocial perspective and takes into account, to better act on it strategically, functional rules, social rules and relational rules that frame all the interactions of the system.
Using a problem solving methodology and strategic communication tools, strategic systemic coaching aims to set up an intervention that will produce measurable efficient results. 

Giorgo Nardone describes strategic systemic coaching ( councelling ) as a true science of performance because it makes it possible to achieve objectives thanks to a rigorous and effective methodology over time and at a lower cost.

Systemic strategic coaching, science of performance

Any systemic coaching intervention, whether problem-oriented or solution-oriented, includes the formalization of a SMART objective, negotiated with its beneficiary or beneficiaries. 

Working on a change objective that is concrete, current, dynamic and interactional necessarily directs the system coaching intervention towards the search for effectiveness and efficiency (being effective as quickly as possible).

The performance of systemic coaching is thus measured scientifically within the framework of global research (SYPRENE) aimed at measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the strategic systemic approach in the clinical and professional fields.

Systemic coaching or the construction of a new reality

Strategic systemic coaching or the construction of a new reality

Systemic coaching is part of a systemic approach seeing reality as a creation of our mind. Watzlawick (1976) thus proposes two levels of reality: first-order reality , which corresponds to what we perceive directly from our senses; a kind of “raw reality” (eg: 1. “the raw material order was not placed within the expected time” or 2. “the marketing director arrived at 9:30 a.m. at the Codir, which starts at 9:00 a.m.”) and the second-order reality that corresponds to the universe of meanings that we give to things or events  . The second-order reality would constitute a kind of filter that the observer would come to deposit on the first-order reality (eg: 1. “nothing is going well in our organization” or 2. “the marketing director is a dilettante, he doesn't care about us!”).

In the constructivist model, the reality of the observer is a reconstruction of reality. In this constructivist vision, the strategic systemic coach considers that there is no good or bad decoding of reality but rather decodings which help us and which allow us to develop our potential and others which block us or limit us. It is therefore useless to seek to find what is true or false but rather what is beneficial and which works.

It is on the second-order reality that the coaches work by reframing and implementing appropriate and targeted intervention strategies. They will help their client reshape their reality so that they can optimally move towards achieving their goals.

Systemic strategic coaching, for which profession?

The practice of systemic coaching is accessible to all professionals in the business of supporting companies and their managers, whether they are already certified coaches in practice or in professional retraining with plans to become one.

Training in systemic coaching makes it possible to exercise the activity of systemic coach, able to support individual changes and complex transformations of companies (unblock situations in crisis or permanently encysted: burn-out, harassment, conflicts, etc.) and support individually or collectively teams to find winning strategies to achieve defined objectives (merger of teams, growth crises of a team, evolution of operating standards for a production system, etc.)
