Nov 2023_Integral Systems Coaching (ICP-SYS)

Course Description: Systems Coaching is a way of coaching that is focused on the system, rather than just the individuals in the system. In this ICP-SYS course you will learn a whole system Integral approach to coaching organizations and ways to apply the method to address your systemic challenges. The course is designed by Michele Madore, a certified professional Integral Coach from Integral Coaching Canada and the co-author of Agile Transformation: Using the Integral Agile Transformation Framework to think and lead differently. The Integral Systems Coaching approach directly addresses relationship & culture, mental models and leadership, behaviors and structural disconnects, and offers ways to work with each of these lenses and their inter-relatedness. In this way, we are modeling Systems Thinking as Agile Coaches and Change Leaders. This course is designed to model Systems Coaching in real-time with our “Systems Coaching Course Participants” as the team. We will be the sandbox for you to play in using all of the tools and approaches taught. It will be high in contact and experience and less on lecture and teaching.
