Reviews / Votes
"In Systemic Coaching and Constellations, John Whittington provides an insightful but practical stepping-stone for coaches wanting to embrace a systemic approach in their practice. I do not think it is possible to be truly effective as a coach without supporting the client to become more aware of the systems in which they belong. Coaching the client must inevitably involve coaching the system. The principles and practices explored in this book are a starting point for the coach's journey towards this way of working." * David Clutterbuck, co-founder and lifetime ambassador of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and founder of Clutterbuck Associates * "John is a delight to listen to and a joy to read. His voice is clear and authoritative, whilst acknowledging the rich possibilities of perspectives that have yet to be discovered. His lucid explanations built on his depth of experience are in my view essential reading for coaches at this time." * Alison Hardingham, Executive Coach and Author *More details
