Introduction to Systemic Coaching and Constellations (Eileen Moir)
Eileen will outline the stance, principles and practices of systemic coaching and constellations. A constellation is a visual map of a system which enables clients to enlarge their frame of reference about a situation they are immersed in. This is a fundamental tool of systemic coaching. When used with systemic awareness and an understanding of the natural ordering principles that govern human systems, clients are enabled to see their situation with fresh eyes and gain new perspectives on the way forward.
Eileen Moir is an executive coach and system-orientated facilitator specialising in helping people and organisations navigate change. Prior to becoming a coach, she was an Executive Director in the NHS. In 2013 she was awarded an OBE for her work in leading change in the public sector. Based in Edinburgh, Eileen works with clients throughout the UK and Europe.
Eileen holds an MSc in Management and an Hult Ashridge MSc in Leadership (AML). She trained as an executive Coach with Hult Ashridge and is a practitioner in systemic coaching and facilitation having trained with Coaching Constellations to mastery level. She is also a supervisor for coaches and organisational consultants. Her approach also benefits from 18 years' experience as a mental health practitioner.
Eileen joined the Coaching Constellations teaching faculty in June 2019. She teaches across the curriculum in both Edinburgh and London and internationally online. Eileen is also guest faculty with Henley Business School on their Team and Systemic Coaching programme.
Originally from the Shetland Islands in the far north of Scotland, Eileen now lives with her husband in the beautiful Scottish Borders
Our following CPD Meeting will be on Thursday 8th October 2026: The Art of Not Doing - an Interview with Tony Betts
Tony has a lifetime's experience in international business coaching and consulting. He brings a calm, reflective presence to all his work and is valued by clients and colleagues alike for his depth of thought.
Tony also has a background in elite sport and brings to his work a keen understanding of what high performance depends on. He knows what lies at the heart of personal effectiveness and has developed a range of tools and models that enable his clients to rethink their approach and become more successful and fulfilled.
Above all, Tony brings a sense of centredness and groundedness to his work. Those he has coached attest to the profound influence he has on their thinking. Tony has devoted much of his life to the pursuit of practical wisdom. He makes his learning freely available to all, with wit, modesty, and a natural, gentle courtesy.
He is the founder of two business philosophies: The Art of Not Doing and The Power of Alignment.
Our first CPD meeting in 2027 will be Wednesday 17th March: Georgina Woudstra, ACTC, MCC, has been at the forefront of the team coaching movement since the 2010s. An executive coach since the early 1990s, she recognized that lasting organizational change depends on teams, not just individual leaders. Through years of reflective practice, she saw that traditional workshops seldom spark true transformation. That happens when coaches work dynamically in the moment, tapping into a team’s energy as challenges arise. Georgina refined this emergent approach in her own practice, leading her to found Team Coaching Studio in 2017, dedicated to developing world-class team coaches. In 2022, she became one of the first globally to earn the ICF Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC). A serial entrepreneur, she understands the demands of running a thriving practice. Her updated book, Mastering the Art of Team Coaching, offers practical wisdom to grow your impact in this fast-expanding field.
