Summary of our approacg/method

Why other coaching-methods (such as solution-based coaching) are not effective?

The following quasi definition (which can be considered as an accepted coach-definition) can be read on the website of the Hungarian coach companies:

"Coaching is not concerned with the problem. Its questions apply exclusively to the future and the solution. >What do you want to achieve?< >What can you do differently (better) in the future?<"

The stated aim is to concentrate on the desired end result, instead of analysis and diagnosis. Unfortunately the coachee (the very person or organisation which is requiring the counselling) is lacking precisely the specific idea of what the desirable future for him might be, how to visualise in the detail, how to plan it element by element because his lack of skills in handling the crisis and his conceptual limitations prevent him from establishing the desired future.

If he were already capable of that, he would not be asking for help and coaching.

The bigger the necessary changes, the more difficult it is to cope with the unpredictability of all conceptually radical innovations.

Why the so called ontological coaching developed by us works?

While we accept the premises of the solution-based coaching, which predicates progression from the problem level to the solution level, we do not believe the formulation of the future can be left to chance. With our method the coach and the coachee work within a heuristic explorer system, whose built-in meta-heuristic analyses continuously evaluate concepts (describing the desired future) which will work and which will not. The latter to be changed jointly, the former ones we continue to improve.

Through heuristics we create micro-worlds which have clear input and output, are transparent, and reveal so-called "weak ontology" which can be overcome. Weak ontology gives us a way to liberate the coachee from concepts and conceptual metaphors (invisible to himself) which he cannot distance himself from (such as remorse generators and self-defence mechanisms) and which are programming his behaviour adversely. During the coaching - introducing new conceptual metaphors and NLP techniques among others - the jointly generated ontologies work as models, which serve in the construction, adoption and comfort within the desired new worlds as well as their further development.

The aim is to transform the coachee into a holonic system, which is characterized by two basic features: endeavour for independence and inclination for cooperation. If cooperation is required in the course of his independent problem solving he is able to be creative, while he remains a self-governing decision-making person.

Our method is built on the recognition (coming from the cognitive sciences of our age, which is not properly respected by other coaching methods) which is referred to as embodied mind. In the theories about embodiment of the mind there is a common element which says that man and the world, the body and the mind form an inseparable whole. The consequence of this is that the border between the mind and the external world grows blurred, the mind flows over the brain (extended mind), meaning that man cannot be modelled without the world in which he lives. That is why we place such importance on ontologies in forming a vision of future.

The Massachusetts method, developed by us integrates diverse ways and means such as mediation, mentalization techniques, resilience awareness, projection and foresight.
