The learning circles are for coaches and organisational consultants with no experience of constellations as well as those who are already beginning to use, or refine their use, of this approach in their practice.The session framework is built around the needs of the group members, but with an intention to include all of the main principles and practices within the time. All sessions will be a mix of group/experiential and one-to-one practice with a particular focus on the application of constellations in one-to-one coaching including table-top, ‘post it’ and floor marker constellations. Many aspects of working with teams and wider organisational systems are also included.

He has been sharing the methodology and insights that flow from this way of working with all his clients and other coaches in the UK, US and Europe in open workshops, learning circles, supervision and one-to-one coaching since 2004. A regular speaker on the application of constellations in coaching and organisational health John has long experience as a follower, a leader and founder/entrepreneur. Since 2002 he has worked full time as a coach, leading The Riverbank Partnership a coaching practice focused on working at the point where the personal, professional and organisational systems overlap. Through a combination of insight into what we are born with (innate personality type), what we are born into (family of origin dynamics) and the application of psychodynamic principles the Partnerships’ reputation has attracted a wide portfolio of clients. Alongside this John has pioneered the combination of MBTI and constellations to facilitate fresh clarity and insight for his clients and coaches in supervision. He is also a familiar face to executive students at The London Business School where he is a visiting coach on a small number of leadership development programmes in Dubai and Hong Kong.
