And leading it in times of transformation requires tools capable of seeing beyond the symptoms.
In recent years, the ecosystem of organizations fighting for the human rights of women, migrant communities, LGBTQI+ people, Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants, and decoloniality in Latin America (and other regions of the Global South) has faced unprecedented pressure.
Post-COVID rights regressions, the complexity of migratory contexts, political polarization, structural violence, and emotional exhaustion have overwhelmed teams and leadership. Many times, they are carrying more than their share, with very little internal oxygen to regenerate.
In this scenario, traditional institutional strengthening tools—strategic plans, operational manuals, logical frameworks—are starting to fall short.
Being more efficient is no longer enough.
Now we need to be wiser. More present. More systemic.
“The success of an intervention depends on the inner state of the intervener.”
— Otto Scharmer (Theory U)
What is at stake is not just what we do, but how we do it.
And, above all, from where we do it.
How can we lead processes of deep transformation without replicating the very logics we want to change?
Here, two paths open up:
Keep doing the same. Repeat formulas. More of the same, hoping for different results.
Or dare to look differently. To make space for what is unseen. To transform from the root.
Navigating complexity with different tools
We have spent years looking for “effective” solutions. Roadmaps, technical strategies… more planning.
But many of the toughest challenges—the ones that truly hurt—cannot be solved by logic alone.
Relationships in constant tension. Leaderships that wear out. Structural fatigue. Disconnection from purpose. Repetitive cycles that exhaust.
And this is where an unconventional but deeply transformative tool comes in: organizational systemic constellations.
What are they and why do they matter?
Systemic constellations allow us to represent an organization as what it really is: a living system.
Through spatial representations—physical or symbolic—this methodology makes the invisible visible: internal dynamics, hidden tensions, blockages that can’t be resolved in an Excel sheet.
They allow us to see:
- Where there is misalignment between purpose and practice.
- Which roles are overloaded, underrepresented, or out of place.
- How the organization relates to resources, losses, or closure cycles.
- Which bonds of power, care, or conflict are asking to be seen.
- How to regenerate team energy and strengthen leadership connected to what is essential.
This approach, inspired by the work of Bert Hellinger and adapted to the organizational world by figures like Gunthard Weber, Jan Jacob Stam, and Edward Roland, has proven effective especially in contexts of high complexity and uncertainty. It not only identifies the knots, but also opens up concrete possibilities for transformation.
It’s not about magic. It’s about seeing differently. And acting from a different place.
A proposal for those who are truly ready to transform.
In partnership with Vozes and Samantha Colli (the author of this text), we are creating support proposals for “Systemic and Regenerative Organizational Strengthening,” integrating systemic leadership coaching and organizational constellations to strengthen organizations and movements that are no longer satisfied with superficial solutions.
We want to accompany leaders and teams who understand that to transform the world, we also need to transform ourselves from within.
To organizations that are ready to:
- Regenerate their internal energy.
- Reconnect with their deeper purpose.
- Strengthen more human and sustainable leadership.
- Honestly look at what needs to change.
- Create new ways of caring for themselves while caring for others.
Because transformation doesn’t start in reports. It starts in the body, in relationships, in the invisible architecture that sustains (or sabotages) the work.
What if this were the moment to see differently?
If you feel your organization needs a space to breathe, review, refocus, and transform, write to us.
We are ready to accompany you!
