When tips and techniques are no longer enough - an ontological approach to developing leaders and cultural change – with Alan Sieler PDF Print E-mail

A key competency of leaders is to be resourceful in responding to unpredictable circumstances, often where there is no precedent for doing things that demand flexible and novel thinking in short time frames. This requires developing the ability to take different perspectives as a path to effective decision-making and action.  Ontological Coaching is an approach to enabling the development of new constructive perspectives.

This session will provide an introduction to Ontological Coaching and an ontological approach to leadership, which will include practical experience for understanding and applying:

  1. Why leadership is fundamentally conversational and relational in nature
  2. The dynamic interrelationship between three areas of human existence – language, emotions and body, and what this means  for decision making, cultural change and communication
  3. Moods and emotions and their role in leadership, innovation and change

Alan is a leading Australian author, thinker  and practitioner in Ontological Coaching - his session should not be missed.
