Coaching with Systemic Constellations: Expanding Awareness, Unlocking Potential
Join us for an enlightening and paradigm shifting workshop. Experience a lens that will help you discover how you move your coaching skills toward MCC, inspire instant awareness in your clients, and connect the dots in your business.
A Systemic lens is a powerful approach to expanding awareness, unlocking client potential, shift limiting patterns, and creating lasting change.
Led by Kim Leischner, MCC coach, trainer, mentor, and creator of the ICF-CCE certified program Coaching with Systemic Constellations, this session offers a unique opportunity to empower your coaching practice and enhance client results.
You will be guided through experiential exercises designed to assist you to embody expanded systemic awareness, presence and listening. You’ll engage in mindfulness practices and constellation mapping exercises to tap into two distinct forms of human intelligence that can reveal hidden dynamics and unlock new pathways for growth.
You'll gain clarity on the boundaries between coaching and therapy with three key guidelines to ensure ethical practice. You’ll experience a mapping exercise that can be immediately applied in your coaching sessions, and learn to use four powerful perspectives to evoke awareness.
If time permits, we’ll conclude with a live coaching demonstration incorporating systemic constellation work, followed by a Q&A. Join us and discover how a systemic coaching lens can elevate your practice and amplify your impact!

Coaches know how transformative coaching is—but when it comes to selling, even the best struggle to get potential clients to say “Yes!” The problem isn’t price or timing. It’s how you’re showing up in the sales conversation. In this talk, Chris shares The I-Help Selling System, a 5-step process for conducting sales calls that make potential clients feel seen, heard, and understood. Most coaches unintentionally create objections. That’s why they get ghosted or hear “I need to think about it.” Learn how to sell with confidence, integrity, and a “coach approach”—so the right clients say yes without hesitation.
