Ontological coaching and the world we want to live

What is Coaching ?:

It is a practical discipline that facilitates Learning to: Observe, Think, Feel and Do in different ways, therefore achieving different Results in different areas: work, family, partner, etc. and live a full Life.

Why these names: Coach and Coaching?

This name comes from sport. where it was observed that by the intervention of a person -while he did not play- the individual and team result changed, this person was The Coach or Coach. And Coaching then, was to train other / s.

How did it evolve to different types of Coachings?

After sports, it was no longer enough to “do in a different way”. More complex needs arose in the face of a “New Historical Scenario”, emerging from social, economic and political models in crisis, to this were added the great technological advances and especially in the field of communication. All of this translates into paradigm shifts, and perhaps the greatest is the one that challenges us to rethink what it means to "be human." Hence the term "Ontology" (science or study of the Self), which is more than 25 centuries old, but acquired other dimensions and use in recent decades due to the joint advancement of various scientific and philosophical fields.

Is that why the term Ontological Coaching?

Yes. Each relevant process questions the meaning of being human. This is the learning space where “Ontological Coaching” works, and it is here where the great difference lies with other coachings. We also aim to improve actions, improve relationships and coexistence, to lead our dreams, to evolve and refine "our way of being", and thus make "our life" a fun and pleasant experience.

What are the coach's tools and what does the job consist of?

The coach's main tool lies in the question. The work consists of detecting the obstacles or limits of the Person or the Equipment and that they are the cause of conflict, shows the relationship of the actions with the results and with the type of Observer that Person is being. From there it offers other possibilities, intervening on the 3 coherence of the Being: Body, Emotions and Language. This is done through conversations, exercises and / or experiential dynamics. New ways of Observing, Being and Doing are opened, thus facilitating the desired results. The coach operates in 2 areas, The Observer and The System.

How is this of the Observer and the System?

Each Person, due to their history and experiences, can see the World in a different way. The System tends to "normalize" the forms and the results. This is a cause of suffering for both individuals and organizations, simply for "not accepting differences." We look for ways to unite the differences, between what is and what we would like to be, expanding the ways of observing and observing oneself and, in turn, how to intervene, making the system more flexible. One of the theories that support our work comes from Cognitive Biology and is called Autopoiesis, which is the faculty of every Individual or System to create itself. We faithfully believe that we are the result of our beliefs and actions. In the annual Coaches Training Program (PRACTyCO) we go into all of this.

What are the changes and what do they look like?

We as Mission and work aim that each one find himself, undress his wisdom and expand his gifts and that the teams produce and live together pleasantly. At the end of a Training, the annual Program or an individual intervention or consulting in a Company, changes are often seen in tangible results and others in things that are not seen but felt when they write us an email, when we see ourselves in a dinner or we meet again in the street, and only a smile or a word can show me that that person sees Life in a different way, his heart is closer to his head.

I can sum it up with an old Zen tale:

“Once a disciple went to see his teacher with the following question:

  • Master, could you tell me what is the difference between an ignorant man, an intellectual and a wise man? Very simple my son, the ignorant one is the one who, facing a night as beautiful as this, is looking down at the ground without even knowing heaven is there. The intellectual, on the other hand, is interested, counts the millions of stars and stars, classifies them and draws conclusions. Teacher… tell me, what about the wise man? - Asked the young man, hastening the answer that most interested him. The wise man - replied the old man - simply look up and enjoy the pleasure of the night.

What is the use of counting and knowing how many teeth does a smile have?

The Strength of a Coach resides in questions that show the limits, the conflict between what there is and what we want there to be.

Once they asked me:

  • "If I had to choose two questions that could change the world, what would they be? I do not know if" The World "would change," I answered, "but I would ask mothers, employers, teachers, children:…

….What is the World like and what would we want to live like?
