As an organizational consultant I work at a systemic level. As a coach I work at team level but I also work at individual level. I do a lot of executive coaching and to do that well, I use a model called transactional analysis.

One of the transactional analysis concepts is called ego states, the patterns of thinking and feeling linked to patterns of behaviour that all of us have stored in our archive, either programmed by Parents or learned in early childhood or associated with the here and now competencies we have. We call that Parent Adult Child ego states.
