Insights

Writing on the observer we bring.

An editorial series exploring the ideas beneath ontological coaching. The themes below are in preparation; nothing is published yet, and nothing is claimed that does not exist.

In preparation

Awareness

On the moment the observer becomes visible to itself, and why noticing is not yet the same as changing.

In preparation

Identity

On the story of who we take ourselves to be, and how quietly it authorises and forbids.

In preparation

Language

On assertions and assessments, requests and promises — and how much of our opinion we treat as fact.

In preparation

Emotion

On emotions as predispositions to action, and moods as the weather a life is lived inside.

In preparation

Leadership

On leading as a way of being rather than a set of behaviours, and the moods a leader makes available to others.

In preparation

Choice

On the difference between having options and being able to see them.

In preparation

Change

On why insight fades under pressure, and what makes a new way of seeing durable.

In preparation

Possibility

On horizons: how new action produces a new world, and with it a different sense of what is available.

A note on this section

Placeholders, honestly labelled.
