About Ontological Coaching<\/h3>\n

Define \u201cOntology\u201d<\/p>\n

Before we define what, ontological coaching is, let us first understand the term \u201contology\u201d. It is not a term you hear every day. The term ontology has to do with the branch of philosophy that deals with being in general and its properties; the study of the nature of BEING. Ontology is basically the study of how we observe and interact with whatever\u2019s around us.<\/p>\n

What is ontological coaching?<\/p>\n

According to the Newfield Network, the world\u2019s leading ontological training organization since 1991, ontological coaching is an extraordinarily powerful methodology for effecting real change at the individual, team and organizational levels. It is highly effective because it is based on a new practical understanding of the power of language, moods, and conversations for behavioral and cultural change. Newfield believes that ontological coaching supports people to become more powerful observers, capable of being more self-generating as learners to meet the imperative of continually developing more flexible and effective modes of thinking, communicating and behaving for the benefit of themselves and others.<\/p>\n
