Did you play with figurines as a kid?

I did! Lego and the small plastic animals that came in cereal packets were firm favourites. All sorts of scenarios took place. One day I built a zoo, the next it was a shop - always staging dramas, moving characters around, looking at things from different angles exploring “what ifs”?

Coaching Constellations are basically the same thing - but with serious insight!

I attended a Coaching Constellations course in Melbourne recently. We used figures, objects, and each other as representatives to explore systems, team dynamics and relationships. It was about stepping back, experimenting safely, tapping into our bodies and emotions, and seeing patterns and insight we might otherwise miss.

Who knew those cereal-packet animals I loved as a kid would help prepare me for systems work later in life?

My bollard friends in Geelong (just out of Melbourne – I spend a few days holidaying in Victoria before the course started) look just like the Coaching Constellations figures we used in the course – except life size, and with expressions. The second one along from me is definitely dodgy!

If you or your team would like to experiment with systemic relationships and Coaching Constellations, get in touch. Dodgy expressions are not compulsory!
