our services
Our Way of Being drives our behaviour and determines the actions that we consider taking and those we cannot imagine taking. This choice determines the results we create.
To change the results we want in life, we need to change our ingrained behaviour and the way we view the world.
Coaching helps you take the first step to see the world differently leading to constructive and productive behaviours.
Change your perspective – Change your life.
Ontological coaching is holistic, using language, body and emotions.
fact
The body and our emotions are vital in an oral communication – only 7% of a message
is via words, while the rest is based on non-verbal cues from the speaker.
language
We generate our reality through language and often get caught up in the stories we tell ourselves, which may limit our potential.
moods and emotions
Moods are filters through which we observe the world and shape our capacity for
action. Our moods govern our behaviour: how differently we behave when in a mood
of resentment compared to when we are joyful!
body
We express our moods and emotions through body language. Our bodies can be used
to support us in achieving our goals as well as to create a leadership presence.
With change as a constant feature of all organisations, your ability to adapt to and proactively manage change is what will set you apart.
Under ever-increasing pressure from corporations to deliver more each year, you need a safe and confidential space to reflect on issues, taking time to make strategic decisions instead of resorting to fire fighting.
Coaching gives you the right tools to communicate effectively and build productive relationships. It will help you grow, take on new responsibilities, and become an inspirational leader.
Coaching equips you for the next challenge and does not leave your career to the vagaries of chance.
