A Relationship System

An interdependent group of people with a common identity or function.

Coachfederation.org/ICFGlobal2012

The coaching difference

• The relationship system is the client, not the individuals within the system.

• Requires a paradigm shift from what an individual or team is doing to what is trying to happen for the system.

The Third Entity™

• John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were individuals. The Beatles is their Third Entity™.

• The voice of the Relationship System.
