People are in constant change and transformation but… what does this transit mean?
Man constantly asks himself who am I? How do I relate to others? How do I relate to myself and to the world?
We are creators of our own life and of our own possibilities.
The Ontology of language has its philosophical bases in the particular study of being. It has its bases in the sophists, linguists and biology from Humberto Maturana.
This particular form of being is constituted through language, therefore the ontology of language raises a new interpretation of human being, language and action.
The basic postulates of the Ontology of Language are:
1) we interpret human beings as linguistic beings
2) we interpret language as a generator.
3) we interpret that human beings create themselves in language and through it.
To understand these postulates we have to see what kind of observers we are, since when we listen to the other, we are hearing and interpreting therefore we only know how things are from our observation and interpretation, we live in interpretive worlds, people act according to the social systems to which we belong, we not only act according to how we are and what we do we are also according to how we act. Let us bear in mind that "action generates being".
For example, when we give our point of view of a fact through language and the way we use it, we are "showing" our way of being (the observer that we are).
According to Maturana, when we speak of language, we refer to a type of communication where the important thing is the consensual coordination of the coordination of actions, while communication is a coordination of common actions. Language is born from the social interaction between human beings. It is a social phenomenon for example that when we share the same system of signs: gestures, sounds.
Without a consensual domain, there is no language and this consensual domain is constituted in the interaction with others and in a social space.
A few years ago we began to hear that from language we create realities, possibilities, opportunities, because language makes things happen.
Julio Olalla says “that a large part of the problems of effectiveness and suffering that we face in the world are related to incompetencies that we have in the way we talk and interact. Many people suffer because of their inability to be heard, because of their difficulty to claim, to recognize the work of others. "
I invite you to reflect on these concepts and to change the observer that we are, because in this way we generate new possibilities and new interpretations. Here appears the figure of coaching where he proposes to carry out an “intervention in the observer” that we are producing new questions and therefore different actions that will lead us to different results.
For this, it is necessary to seek an integration between the body, emotion and language. The world is seen according to my emotional state since these predispose us to action. (our actions reveal our way of being)
We can ask ourselves, what is our purpose in life, at work?
Do we know our abilities? What do we excel at? What are my talents?
To finish I ask the question What is it that makes learning difficult for us?
For many years I have searched for the answers to questions that I posed about my way of learning.
Since I discovered this path of transformation and self-knowledge, I realized that the power is in the questions and that learning occurs when we recognize that there are things that we still know, developing the ability to get out of our own beliefs (this is not for me, I'm not good at this), differentiating the judgments about our actions from the judgments about our being, realizing that others know more than we do about some issues and opening ourselves up to the possibility of asking for help and allowing other people to teach us.
Finally, learning is a continuous process and we need patience, be willing to go through the uncertainty of leaving some questions without answers, have confidence in ourselves to connect with the new, the unknown and develop the ability to unlearn what has been learned
I learned that the ontology of language and body coaching allow us to think and take charge of responding responsibly to our lives. Living integrated in all domains, especially at work where I have observed that when we go through the entrance door of an organization we fragment, we leave our corporeality and emotions outside, we are only "head, mind".
If we want to be Innovative, I invite you to improve our conversations and questioning skills by choosing the actions that will make us the people we need to be in order to achieve our dreams.
