THE GESTALT COACHING APPROACH
The Gestalt coaching stance is based on a relational field approach, an experiential approach, a whole person approach, and a here and now approach. Gestalt coaching emphasizes raising awareness in the moment to connect with one’s creative power, generate more possibilities and conscious choices. The Gestalt approach uses the Cycle of Experience as a tool to track the change process. The Cycle of Experience is a wave of awareness – mobilization – action – closure. As waves repeat, the change process can be depicted as a spiral. With its focus on creative power and awareness-raising, the Gestalt approach to coaching is particularly suitable to support the co-creation of purpose-aligned visions and collaborative solutions to drive bold, transformative change.
Connecting with Purpose
At times of crises, there is often the need to go back to the drawing board and re-connect with purpose. Gestalt coaching helps purpose-driven leaders and teams tap into their creative power, embrace new perspectives and co-create a new vision that can support transformative change for society and the planet.
Strengthening Resilience
Gestalt coaching can help purpose-driven leaders and team strengthen their resilience, so that they are better equipped to navigate the complexity of our world, and ultimately thrive in the face of multiple and overlapping crises. Strengthening resilience calls for leaders to become awareness agents in support of change, effectively managing seemingly unsolvable problems, and embracing and valuing diversity.
Engendering Collective Impact
Gestalt coaching helps purpose-driven leaders and teams move from ideation to impact that can transform the world. Engendering collective impact requires catalyzing collective action around a common vision, envisioning collaborative and innovative solutions, and addressing limiting beliefs and resistance to change.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is unique about Gestalt Coaching?
Most coaching approaches focus on achieving some desired future goal. Gestalt coaching focuses on what is present now rather than what should be. The Gestalt paradoxical theory of change states that change occurs when a person become what they are, not when they try to become what they are not. By deepening awareness on what is present, change happens organically.
