Ontological Coaching on the other hand, is a positive proactive approach to connecting you to your inherent strengths and abilities, and supporting you to bring these strengths to bare on what you want to achieve. The coach is trained to ask questions specifically designed to help you shed light on your own truth, making you consciously aware of your unconscious thoughts which may be preventing you from taking the actions you want to take, and being the best that you can be. You and the coach will partner to discover what matters most to you, to craft the goals you wish to achieve, and to build a step by step action plan for success, bringing more happiness and satisfaction into your life.
