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.
