Ontological Coaching The basis of ontological coaching is a new and practical understanding of human beings and human interaction. Ontological Coaching explores how we see ourselves and how this impacts what we are able to achieve. It seeks to address and uncover new realms of possibility. It involves shifting our "way of being" to bring about constructive and lasting change at work and in life. Gandhi famously said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” This lies at the heart of ontological coaching, where fundamental and sustained change can only occur when individuals first transform. Ontological coaches have the skill and knowledge to facilitate this shift.

This ultimately impacts the kind of life we create or more importantly the kind of life we are able to design. Ontological Coaching offers us the chance to see things differently in a way that empowers us to act authentically. In short, the theory and methodology of Ontological Coaching is not only a basis for effective action and creating success, but also for building a more meaningful life. As Rafael Echeverria and Julio Olalla have said, “Ontological coaching involves an intervention that modifies the fundamental principle(s) of coherence that we are.” In other words, Ontological Coaching focuses on the limitations of what it is to be human and seeks to expand our capacity for action and in doing so enhance our life and reduce our suffering. Ontology provides a rigorous theoretical basis for coaching that is grounded and effective. It opens up new pathways for effective action by making powerful distinctions and conversations that get results
