Have you ever experienced this? 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, you sense this: The core lies deeper here, but words alone are no longer enough to grasp it. Language is linear - but our problems and relationships are systemic and interconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is exactly where the magic of visualization begins. And this is where a tried and tested tool has been used for years: the System board<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A system board (often also called a family board) is a method of literally putting inner images and unconscious relationship structures \u201eon the table\u201c. By setting up figures, complex dynamics suddenly become tangible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This \u201eaha effect\u201c from the view from above is based on three psychological mechanisms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What happens methodically can be described well: A story told in a linear fashion becomes a picture in which all participants are present at the same time. This is the only way to really experience the interactions - the dynamics that can only ever be discussed one after the other in a conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The method is particularly powerful in situations where pure conversation comes up against a perceived wall:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Experienced coaches report that the visualization itself - even before a single question is asked - often leads to the first insights. The arrangement of the figures speaks for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For many years, the wooden system board was the gold standard in practice. But the world of coaching has changed. Online sessions are now part of everyday life, international clients are a reality and coaches are also increasingly working remotely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Initially, there was a legitimate concern: would the haptic quality of digital work be lost - that physical experience when the hand grips the figure and transforms it? However, experience from thousands of sessions has shown something remarkable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Working digitally on the system board allows a focus that is often more difficult in the analog space. The screen does not separate, it connects coach and client on a common, \u201ethird level\u201c - a shared visual space in which both look and create at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What's more, anyone who has experienced an online session in which a client moves a figure with a concentrated face, looks at it, corrects it, moves it again - knows that the inner movement is the same as on the wooden board. Only the outer frame has changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many years of experience with the classic online Constellation Board<\/em> a logical further development has emerged: The VISTEMA\u00ae<\/sup>-Board<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not just a simple drawing tool, but a highly specialized tool for professional constellation work in digital space. The familiar effectiveness, clarity and depth of the classic system board are retained, while the possibilities offered by the digital space grow exponentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some functions that would simply be impossible in the analog space:<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is a system board and why is it so effective?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
