TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE SCHOOL

Coach of leaders, I was able to deepen my techniques and tools to gain in efficiency.

Barbara Liano

The fact of combining the body with the "spirit", for example. To consider it, to make it an ally. Hypnosis is an impetus that allowed me to go further in the value of the alliance, in the observation of myself and that of my patients, the discovery of new resources. She brought me space, understanding, relevance and astonishment also increased vis a vis the human, hope too.

Learning strategic dialogue is not only useful but strong in reflection and emotion for those who receive it. As a therapist in the making, it opens my mind and also makes me more tolerant of other value systems than my own.

I first considered hypnosis as a tool conducive to unblocking a situation, as an additional tool, as well as an axis of development for my activity. It was more than that. My learning of hypnosis allowed me a better understanding and practice of systemic therapy, to consolidate it in a way by completing it.

Discovering the systemic and strategic approach of Palo Alto through this training allows you to acquire the keys to a different perception of problem solving. The strength of this approach is such that in a short time, we get into the logic and we gradually appropriate the systemic grid, so much so that it even becomes present in everyday life or in business.

This “indirect” approach is, from my point of view, very often useful or even necessary in business. The first 2 years, Initiation and Practice, were extremely dense in terms of theoretical contributions and very rich from the point of view of the diversity of the speakers and the quality of the exchanges and scenarios.

Systemic coaching

Systemic coaching, heritage of the School of Palo Alto and Milton Erickson

We know today that Milton Erickson's therapeutic sessions were comparable to life coaching aimed at improving performance or making life-changing choices . He only used formal hypnosis in 50% of his sessions . According to his exegetes (Ernest Rossi, Jay Haley) he used an innocuous conversation, called hypnosis without hypnosis or conversational hypnosis without trance to help the change of his client. This conversation could also relate to innocuous subjects. Many writings recount his coaching dialogues during transcribed sessions that allow to appreciate the coaching strategies put in place.

Coaching emerged in the United States in the early 1960s. It has its roots in Cybernetics , the Palo Alto School from 1953 and New Age at the Esalen Institute in California, from 1961 Milton Erickson , Virginia Satir , Fritz Perls .

Systemic coaching in business, what is it?

Companies face many transformation and adaptation issues. Coaching is then to be an effective support for managers and leaders, whether they are looking for performance or for the well-being of their employees and their teams.

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

Giorgo Nardone describes systemic coaching as a true science of performance because it allows objectives to be achieved through a strict and effective methodology.

problem solving

Problem solving helps to better define the problem:

  • Perceive the problem from different points of view
  • Turn the problem into a SMART goal
  • Develop a critical understanding of the problem-oriented research approach and studies of the Palo Alto School (California) to improve analysis and problem solving 
  • Engage in the Milwaukee School of Solution-Oriented Inquiry and Studies to improve problem solving and solution design 

Create step-by-step action plans

Systemic coaching and quality improvement at work (QVT)

Systemic coaching, science of performance

Solution-oriented problem solving is inherited from the solution-centered approach (Steve De Shazer & Insoo Kim Berg) and the Bruges model (Luc Isebaert). It is particularly effective in coaching.

Cropping

Reframes bring together different techniques that can bring about change in individuals. 

Erickson's Legacy

Reframing techniques were introduced by Milton Erickson during his hypnosis sessions. They are based on paradoxical interventions, reframings or prescriptions of tasks that the patient will accomplish outside of the therapeutic session. These reframings, like hypnosis, seek to induce a change in behavior by creating a therapeutic alliance with the patient. This is how we can say that Erickson is one of the founders of strategic therapy. The therapist will identify difficulties likely to be resolved, set objectives, plan interventions that allow these objectives to be achieved, assess the responses he receives in order to correct his approach and, lastly, verify the result of his therapy to see if it was effective.

Erickson's techniques of reframing also included the following techniques aimed at encouraging resistance, prescribing relapse, presenting a worse option, favoring an action by opposing it, using metaphors and analogies… Prescriptions that we will also find in the approach to Palo Alto. Using these techniques, Erickson brought his patients to change on their own, automatically, without having to use direct injunctions.

The Palo Alto Legacy

Reframing is part of the strategic therapy of the Palo Alto School , and more particularly following the work of Paul Watzalwick that this concept has been precisely defined: it is a question of "modifying the conceptual and/or emotional context of a situation, or the point of view according to which it is lived, by placing it in another framework, which corresponds as well or even better to the facts of this concrete situation, the meaning of which consequently changes completely”. The reframing aims to modify the perception of reality, either by a particular language, or by an adapted meta-communication.

Systemic coaching or the construction of a new reality

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” 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 sort of filter that the observer would place on the first-order reality. In the constructivist model, the reality of the observer is a reconstruction of reality. In this constructivist vision, we consider that there is no good or bad decoding of reality but rather decodings that help us and allow us to develop our potential and others that block 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 carrying out reframings. They will help their client reshape their reality so that they can optimally move towards achieving their goals.

Systemic coaching, for what job?

Systemic coaching is aimed at all professionals working in support of companies and their managers. It will help to unblock situations, to find strategies to achieve defined objectives. The systemic coach will be able to accompany the complex changes of companies, individually or collectively accompany the teams.
