About Ontological Coaching
Coaching is a learning process aimed at partnering with clients to find their own answers and/or inner resources to maximize their personal or professional potentials. The “ontological approach” is based on the understanding of human beings through their language: Change your thoughts / transform your world. An Ontological Coach has three main areas of intervention, i.e., the clients’ language, emotions and corporal postures.
A consultant is an expert who is called on for professional and/or technical advice. They are relied on to understand the problem and present / find effective solutions to deal with it. A coach is a subject matter expert at coaching, not necessarily the subject matter expert of the client’s coaching topic. While in consulting sessions answers come from the consultant, in coaching session answers come from the client, who becomes “conscious" of his internal and external world through a learning process.
NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) is the excellence at human interaction. As noticed in the acronym, NLP stands for programming the brain to achieve new skills to communicate ideas, create empathy and generate rapport. It is also used to get a deeper understanding of human behaviors, detect how others see the world and get further skills to reach functional interactions not only at the working place but also in personal life.
