Ontological coaching is a conversation between an Ontological coach and their coachee. The coaching is one practical application of The Ontology of the Human Observer.
In an Ontological coaching session, the Ontological coach will help the coachee identify and be clear about what is not working (Breakdown), then observe and query the coachee’s Way of Being to help them observe themselves and generate an Ontological shift. There may be layers of breakdowns to explore to find the root breakdown.1
The Ontological coach assists the coachee in their development of new meanings through different interpretations previously unobserved. The coach does not provide the new interpretations to the coachee (though they may be legitimately offered).2
