Approach & Tools
"Methods are habits of mind and economies of memory". A. de Rivarol
In our practice, we draw on different approaches and tools that we choose according to the request, the need, the situation...
The systemic approach is based on the premise that players belong to a system of complex relationships, in which often unpredictable reactions develop, especially when managers and executives have to manage human change. The challenge of coaching is therefore toopen up to other ways of apprehending this reality, with tools adapted to the complexity of relationships.
"As soon as we've made the smallest of changes, others follow, which, through a snowball effect, lead to larger modifications."
Milton H Erickson
L'Solution orientation Developed in the USA in the 1950s (as part of the Palo Alto School), this "customer solution-centered" practice helps people and organizations find new opportunities for change. Instead of focusing on the problem, the consultant helps the client to identify possible and acceptable alternatives to solve the problems that arise. By focusing on key issues and the "here and now", Solutions Orientation enables short interventions with visible and lasting benefits.
Narrative PracticesNarrative approaches ® emerged from the work of Michael WHITE and David EPSTON in the 80s and 90s. The narrative approach highlights what is meaningful to oneself, particularly in terms of values, beliefs and aspirations.
The narrative approach is based on collaborative approaches which consider that "the customer is the one who knows". It also takes into account social constructionism, which considers that values, beliefs, institutions, customs, labels, laws, etc. are co-constructed by the members of a culture, through their interaction with each other from generation to generation, and from day to day, which of course also applies to the company.
This approach organizes the world of experience no longer in terms of systems or patterns, but rather in terms of history and meaning.
Some examples of tools used by If, Conseil & Coaching :
- Coaching tools based on Solutions Orientation, Narrative Practices, Neuro-cognitive and Behavioral Approach...
- Personality questionnaires : MBTI®: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
- Motivation questionnaire
- Emotional intelligence questionnaire
- Questionnaire on conflict management : the TKI: Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument
- Intellectual aptitude test
- Profil'INC questionnaire (Personality, Adaptability and Assertiveness Inventory)
- Group facilitation
- Organization constellations

Solution orientation
Solution Orientation is a consultation method focused on customer solutions, developed in the 50s in the United States as part of the Palo Alto School. This practice enables us to find new opportunities for change for individuals and organizations. Unlike the traditional approach, which focuses on the problem and the reasons why it exists, Solutions Orientation helps the customer to identify possible, acceptable alternatives for solving the problems at hand.
By focusing on strong issues and the here and now, Solutions Orientation enables short interventions with visible and lasting benefits. This approach is particularly useful for individuals and organizations seeking concrete solutions to complex problems.
