Those who understand English know that “coaching” would be something like training; but ontological where does it come from? Ontology is a branch of philosophy that studies the Being. It helps to interpret it by distinguishing its interactions, its behaviors and its beliefs to intervene in them resignifying them in order to achieve concrete and measurable objectives.
At this point I feel the need to demystify the functions of a coach. Coaches do not advise, we do not motivate, we do not teach, we do not judge; we do one thing questions. Who is the person today and who do you want to become in order to achieve your goal.
We speak of a transformative discipline since what it does is question those mental structures that it considers obstacles in pursuit of achieving comprehensive change. For this reason there is no coaching without a goal to achieve, without a goal to reach. The answers to these questions are only available to the client (not the patient) since we do not work with psychopathologies, addictions, etc. We only work with people who have the ability to fulfill what they are going to commit to in order to change their reality, which depends purely and exclusively on them and their commitment.
Our life is constantly based on short, medium or long term results. There are objectives that can be obtained by generating actions and if those actions do not work, we carry out others; but if that is not enough, what we need is to change the observer that we are being, so that from a new perspective we can generate new actions that do reach that desired result.
To carry out this process, we must first delve into another term that is “Distinguish”.
What does distinguish mean? It implies separating something from the whole, something that is, that exists. Except that as an observer I didn’t see it until here, I didn’t have the distinction.
When we distinguish something, we first distinguish it intellectually, we conceptualize that word, we give it another value, we give it another meaning. From that intellectual conceptualization, that word becomes part of our life, it is incorporated, it enters our body and that is where we act differently. We seek to increase the level of awareness about what we do, why we do it or what we do it for. And it is then, with this increase in the level of consciousness that we achieve a different capacity for action.
Only at this point did we achieve that change of observer that will allow us to carry out new actions in accordance to achieve the objectives set at the beginning of the coaching process.
Coaches work in processes, since several sessions are needed to reach that level of awareness that brings us closer to the results proposed at the beginning.
