101 What is Ontology?
Ontology is the study of the ""way of being"" of an individual, team or organization. Ontology gives even very experienced coaches new ""distinctions"" in order to work with their clients in a deeply transformative way. In this first class we will introduce the 3 primary domains of ontology - linguistics, emotional realm and somatics as areas for discovery. We will also look at first and second order learning and the concept of the ""observer"" or witness state. We will also introduce the concept of ""breakdown"" or ""break in transparency"". Through understanding the distinctions that are often “invisible” to most coaches we can help people have dramatic insights, learn to awaken to new possibility all by using this “multi-lens” and multidisciplinary approach.

102 Coaching Self-Awareness and Centering
Why is self-awareness and centering important in Coaching? In this class you will begin to learn and pracitce coach self-awareness tecniques. What are the practices that help you get ready to coach. Can we center with the client? We can use our own self-awareness as a tool in our coach. What knocks you "off-center". What to you do when you need to bring yourself back? Are you transparent with the client about when you are off-center? Center is not a "place" but a practice of revisiting and checking of where your attention is. Centering - which is found in many martial arts and yoga is also a powerful practice in ontological coaching. How can centering help your well-being as well as the wellbeing of our client.

103 Successful Contracting with a Client
Contracting is a critical and often overlooked part of coaching success. It sets the foundation "It’s all in the setup ". This is a time where you set expectations, shared standards, and agree on the process and responsibilities of each party. The agreement - how you are going to work together, the approach, the ontological methodology, and your "unique coaching approach." Also contracting is not a one-shot deal but there are many "mini-contracting" opportunities throughout the relationship. How do we contract when things get uncomfortable or the client has a breakdown with the coaching itself or with the coach.

108 Powerful and Generative Questioning
In this class we will engage in a conversation about questions. Questions are the primary tool we can use as coaches in order to better understand what is going on for our clients.

In this class, students will explore the relationship between the quality of the question and listening. They will deepen their awareness of listening as a way of being, and, discover how to ask questions that open new possibilities for their clients.
Through coaching conversations and hands-on practice students will be invited to:
· Become aware of their own listening patterns,
· Discover new ‘question typologies,’
· practice asking open channel of questions, (transformational & generative)
· Recognize and avoid autobiographical questions, stacked questions and closed questions
Come ready to practice, receive feedback and embrace the fun of living in the question.

110 Intro to Ethics in Coaching
Have you ever been stuck between a rock and a hard place? As coaches, we often find ourselves privy to some of the most difficult decisions in the lives of our clients. Add to that the need to keep straight our duties to the client, their employer who may be sponsoring the engagement, and society as a whole and it quickly adds up to a lot. Navigating our variety of obligations conscientiously, and with integrity is the hallmark of a professional coach. This session will introduce ACP students to the ethics of the coaching profession, as articulated in the ICF Code of Ethics. When we understand and embody our ethical duties as practitioners, we not only uphold the credibility of our profession, we make sure we have kept the client at the center of the work.

112 Going Beyond the Story Using Linguistics
Language is not just descriptive it is also a form of action. In this class you will begin to enter the world of linguistics as a significant tool of ontological coaching. We will introduce the basic distinctions and "technology" of language or "speech acts". Sometimes we are not using language, language is using us! Also we will look how the clients "story" is full of various patterns and speech acts that can be used as an entrance to a deeper more transformative conversation. We will also look at how their story impacts their way of being and what options are open to them emotionally and somatically based on their story. How do we help the client to get beyodn the presentnig story - what is the story "underneath" the story? What is your story about your story? Stories aren't bad - they are just a shorthand of lived experience. Coaches also have "stories" about their client too.

115 Communicating Effectively - Directly and Effectively Challenging Your Client
An effective coach balances challenge and support. Effectively challenging our clients when we observe incongruencies in what they say or do is an opportunity for them to become aware of their breakdowns. The work for the coach is to approach the client with curiosity in offering feedback. The coach strives to offer input without attachment to whether their observations will resonate or not. Come and practice these coaching moves with other coaches to improve your ability to communicate directly.

121 Working with the Body (yours and theirs)
Our somatic experience – what happens in our bodies – is as important to forming the observers we are as are our thoughts and emotions. In coaching, attending to “the body”, our client’s and our own, is a powerful avenue for discovery, learning and growth. Our clients’ thoughts and emotions are held in, shaped by and expressed through their bodies, which have their own wordless wisdom. Coaching to the client’s somatic experience can accelerate their ability to find liberating new perspectives and make meaningful changes in their lives. In this session we will explore the links between body, thought, and emotion, how to bring the client’s attention to their somatic experience in useful ways, how to support them in learning through the body, and how to use our own body experience effectively in our coaching

On the surface, a code of ethics is fairly straightforward. In practice, it can be messier.

This is defined as “having the reflective, rational, emotional and intuitive capacity to decide whether actions are right and wrong or good and better, having the resilience and courage to implement those decisions, being accountable for ethical decisions made (publicly or privately), and being able to learn from and live with the experience(s)” (in Erik de Haan Supervision in Action 2012).

305 Group Intervision Process
Intervision is a supervision process among peers. Supervision aims to support coaches in ways that are restorative (e.g. self-confidence), formative (e.g. new learning and development) and normative (e.g. ethical clarity). Coaches typically leave supervision feeling resourced. This is an opportunity for you to bring forward issues that you are facing as a coach.

136 Taking Diversity out of the Box - Exploring Cultural Discourses and Bios for Coaches
In this class students will dive into the topic of “cultural bios, stories and narratives.” Exploring the meaning of ‘cultural discourses,’ students will interact in conversations and activities that will deepen their awareness of their own cultural blind spots, biases and assumptions, values and beliefs. Understanding ourselves and others is crucial to the success of coaching. Meeting our coaching clients where they are is essential to the impact that we can make as coaches. In this class students become awake and aware about the impact that their cultural discourses have on their ability to create a safe, belonging, and trusting coaching environment.
Students will begin to create the foundation for their cultural bios and will be asked to write their cultural bios as homework assignment

135 Working with the Body (yours and theirs)
Our somatic experience – what happens in our bodies – is as important to forming the observers we are as are our thoughts and emotions. In coaching, attending to “the body”, our client’s and our own, is a powerful avenue for discovery, learning and growth. Our clients’ thoughts and emotions are held in, shaped by and expressed through their bodies, which have their own wordless wisdom. Coaching to the client’s somatic experience can accelerate their ability to find liberating new perspectives and make meaningful changes in their lives. In this session we will explore the links between body, thought, and emotion, how to bring the client’s attention to their somatic experience in useful ways, how to support them in learning through the body, and how to use our own body experience effectively in our coaching
