Practicing Gestalt
BY
DR. DOROTHY E. SIMINOVITCH, MCC
We live in a challenging world of exponential change
that’s aptly described by a U.S. military acronym, VUCA:
volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. Adaptive
responses to these challenges occur when vision offsets
volatility, understanding tempers the negativity of
uncertainty, conscious strategies help manage complexity,
and “centering” provides a way to be grounded amidst
ambiguity. Coaching clients repeatedly come up against
challenges under the VUCA umbrella, and Gestalt coaching
provides the dynamic theory, tools and techniques to meet
them. In partnership with an experienced Gestalt coach,
clients’ situational awareness and intervention skills are
strengthened, their vision of possibility and opportunity
is sharpened, and they are empowered by practices of
ongoing self-support and sustained learning.
Gestalt coaching offers what I call a pragmatic magic: The
conceptual models and applications have well-defined
learning steps, yet the results unleashed are magical.
