What is ontological coaching and ontology?

Ontological coaching is an extremely powerful methodology that facilitates transformational change in individuals and teams.

This methodology allows a coach to quickly understand what drives a person’s behavior and ultimately their ways of being. 

Ontology is the study/science of being. What we mean by being is…who you are BEING.

There are two things that impact who you are from your being.

1. Attitude
2. Perception

As humans, our ways of being show up in every aspect of our lives.

Our way of being shows up in our speech, language, emotions, and posture.

By addressing all of these areas collectively, a person can transform themselves from who they are today into whom they intend to be.

Other modes of coaching tend to focus on only one or two areas, such as language and posture. In contrast, ontological coaching focuses on the whole of what it means to be human.

This holistic approach allows a coach to work with you in the following areas:

• Speech/Language
• Emotions
• Posture
• Relationships

Because the coach’s work is largely focused on your perception and attitude (which drives human behavior) you are more likely to experience sustainable transformation and change.

Our perceptions and attitudes about any one subject can run very deep, thus the ontological coaching methodology focuses on creating awareness of these perceptions and attitudes. Awareness provides the opportunity to see what is so and make a conscious decision to make a change.

A shift in perception and attitude will consequently impact your speech, emotions, body language and [most importantly] transform our relationships. - Also known as our external way of being.

This is why we believe that everyone can benefit from ontological coaching.

Whether you’re a stay at home mom or a Fortune 500 CEO, we all experience a gap between who we are today and who we truly desire and intend to be.

Ontological coaching is the answer for anyone looking to address that gap.
