Summary:

Patricia works with people who are interested in designing lives they love

Credentialed through the ICF as a Master Certified Coach, she is also trained and certified via Newfield Network as an Ontological Coach. She was the 2006 President of the ICF-OC Chapter and loved every minute of it, along with all the challenges it brought.

Most people work on only changing their actions to get better results (1st tier thinking) whereas Patricia works with you to observe then shift "who you are being" (2nd tier) such that you take the actions that you take to get the results that you get.

Services:

Patricia works in both individual one-on-one and team-oriented coaching conversations from the ontological perspective. Coaching packages are available for personal and group coaching.

Ontological Coaching: Ontology is defined as "the study of being" and from Patricia's perspective, the study of being human from the "Observer-Actions-Results" Model.

People usually only change the actions they take to get better results (1st tier thinking). As a certified ontological coach (NCOC™), Patricia works with you to learn to observe “way-of-being” that you take the actions that you take (2nd tier thinking).

Ontology works in the realm of “what we say” and “what we listen” (Linguistics), our Emotions / Moods and how our Body Dispositions all interact when we choose our actions – often based in conversations that we were “born into” and continue to live from without being aware of how they are effecting our actions. From the perspective of “observing the observer we are” we are able to shift to a Way-of-Being that is generated rather than reactive, causing powerful results.

Ideal Client:

Patricia works with people who notice that simply changing their actions isn't enough; who is committed to shifting their own Way-of-Being such that they are causing a life of joyful and powerful results.
