Just a little excerpt from one of the coaches off the
http://www.resourcerealizations.com/coaching website:
Ontological Coaching focuses on coaching to our way of being. Our way of being is the underlying driver of our communication and behavior. A persons communicative competence and behavioural effectiveness is shaped by their way of being and who they are in their world.
Way of being is seen as a dynamic interplay between three interrelated spheres of human existence - language, emotions and body. An ontological coach seeks to generate learning in all spheres as the catalyst for substantial and sustainable change.
Our way of being shapes our perceptions and worldview. An ontological coach is able to uncover beliefs that keep us trapped in obsolete ways of being, which limit learning, reduce effectiveness and compromise the quality of life. Together we will create processes that allow for a shift in being and create opportunity to evolve in who you are as an individual, family, and in this world. This includes what is possible for creating a better future.
I like the neufeld site which explains it more indepth. Really good stuff!
