Breakthrough research in the field of Ontological Coaching offers us an approach to dig deeper into our “way of being” by exploring our emotions, language and behavior to transform our lives. 

This model steps away from the tactical and strategic, employing more of our full intelligence to become an astute and compassionate observer to shift our experience. The ability to make distinctions in our observations and conversations, that are often invisible or on autopilot, gives us a rich discovery of the world and ourselves as we show up to it in new ways. 

Tapping these three aspects (brain, body, mood) when reacting to situations in life can helps us shift behavior by embodying a new way of being. For simplicity (and the namesake of this exercise), we will call these three prescriptive levers: “MMM” for mood, movement, and message.
