The term 'ontological' refers to our way of being. We are human beings but we are also "human's being". Ontological coaching is a process that incorporates three domains that taken together, determine our personal way of thinking and behaving. The three domains are, conversations and language acts, moods and emotions, and body positions and movements. PLI teaches clients how to shift their way of being in ways that better serve them and your organization in circumstances that are not served well
