For weeks we have been working towards this moment, and now we can finally, proudly announce: we won over Antonia Klein-Nikolaidis, the founder of coachingcard.de, for our idea of the virtual consulting room and as a cooperation partner. For you, that means nothing less than: the popular Map of States of Being is now also available digitally!
Whether in individual or group settings, with children or adults, as an opener for a counseling session, as a short reflection unit in between, or at the end of a coaching process: the Map of States of Being is a wonderful, versatile method. The symbolic places offer prompts for associations and create a good basis for getting into conversation with one another, and now in online coaching too!
You can currently configure four variants in total: on the one hand, you choose between the Map of States of Being (image above) and the Emotional Weather Map (image below). On the other hand, you decide whether the map lies on the table in your virtual consulting room or hangs on the wall instead. While the table option offers all the advantages of our consulting room (sense of space, tactility, figures can be named and rotated), the wall variant radiates a little more calm. We think both have earned their place in coachingspace, so we simply leave it to you which variant you, and perhaps your clients, get along with better.
Whether on the table or on the wall: as with the constellation board, you can invite any number of participants onto the chosen map and let them position themselves there. And of course our free video meeting tool works with the maps too, so you can do without Zoom, Skype and the like.
How exactly does all of that work again? Have a look at the following video, which Benjamin created for exactly this purpose.
You can currently test the maps free of charge for 24 hours. Log in to your coachingspace, select "Map of States of Being" in the menu and click "Unlock for 24h now". You then have a whole day to test the maps in every conceivable variant. Afterwards, you can purchase a 1-, 3- or 12-month unlock code in Antonia's shop.
In a further post we will give you some tips and tricks for working with the digital Map of States of Being, and trainings with Antonia Klein-Nikolaidis are planned as well. So stay tuned!
But for now, enjoy testing the maps. We hope you are as enthusiastic as Antonia and we are.
I was part of the development, and I can only say I am absolutely thrilled! It is simply wonderful to see everyone moving their figures across the maps. Experiencing the maps virtually in a shared room, and even being able to design it in advance, offers not just a real alternative to in-person work but creates a coaching atmosphere all of its own.
Heartfelt thanks to the coachingspace team, who have lifted the maps into a new dimension in such an appreciative way! <3
