A client has been talking about a conflict for 20 minutes, names five different people involved and jumps back and forth between past and present. As a coach or consultant, you can sense this: The core lies deeper here, but words alone are no longer enough to grasp it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is exactly where the magic of visualization begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When words reach their limits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Language is linear - one word follows another. However, our problems and relationships are <strong>systemic<\/strong> and networked. Everything happens simultaneously and influences each other. If we try to grasp this complexity purely cognitively, the famous \u201eknot in the head\u201c quickly arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \u201eaha effect\u201c from the view from above<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The VISTEMA<sup style=\"font-size: 0.5em; vertical-align: super;\">\u00ae<\/sup>-Board uses a simple but effective psychological mechanism: <strong>Externalization<\/strong>. By bringing the inner image out onto the board, three things happen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Emotional relief:<\/strong> The problem is no longer \u201ein me\u201c, but \u201ethere on the board\u201c. This provides immediate relief.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New perspectives:<\/strong> We can literally turn the problem around. What happens if I stand behind the boss? What does the situation look like from the customer's perspective?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simulate solutions:<\/strong> We can try out changes without there being any consequences in reality. \u201eWhat if this character took a step back?\u201c<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why digital often works even better<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many coaches were initially concerned that the \u201efeel\u201c of online work would be missing. However, experience has shown otherwise: digital work on the VISTEMA<sup style=\"font-size: 0.5em; vertical-align: super;\">\u00ae<\/sup>-board allows a focus that is often more difficult in the analog room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201eThe board creates a shared \u201athird level\u2018 on which coach and client can focus. The screen doesn't separate, it connects.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether in therapy, business coaching or mediation, making complex issues visible helps you find the way to a solution more quickly. Just try it out in your next session - set up your first figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Language is linear, but our problems are systemically networked.
