Businesses, families, communities—at the heart of it all, they’re networks of relationships and conversations. If they’re strong and healthy, it’s because those conversations and relationships are strong and healthy. The inverse is just as true.
So when we’re feeling stuck or directionless—as a leader, a parent, a partner, or just as a human being—it always goes back to how we’re showing up in conversations and relationships, with others, and perhaps first and foremost, with ourselves.
Our individual way of being colors everything we do and say. It drives how we show up in every conversation and every relationship.
So with the Ontological Experience, whether we’re working through coaching sessions or learning together during a workshop or speaking engagement, this is where we focus. Inward. On becoming a better observer of the observer we are. On understanding our way of being. And on seeing clearly so we can change the way we’re being, toward building stronger, healthier businesses, families, and communities.
LEADERSHIP COACHING
Leading, but not inspiring, motivating, or connecting with your team?
The Ontological Experience isn’t traditional executive coaching. We’re not teaching executives how to more effectively command and control teams. We’re not “enhancing performance.” Ours is a fundamentally human, collaborative approach to leadership development, so in that, the Ontological Experience isn’t made for every leader.
If you’ve had a conscious shift in your understanding of leadership—if you want to connect and inspire rather than dominate—this is the leadership development you’ve been looking for. If you care deeply about people, connection, and relationships and understand how crucial those are to your happiness and success as a leader, you’ll find what you need here.
LIFE COACHING
Better parent, partner, speaker, influencer, etc.
You don’t need a specific goal or purpose to benefit from life coaching with the Ontological Experience. Our work is deep enough to impact everything you want to be and do, and to uncover things you didn’t realize you needed or wanted.
Our framework and tools focus on a person’s fundamental way of being—the way you see and move through the world, and how that perspective is reflected through your language, emotions, and body, in everything and every moment. Personal coaching with the Ontological Experience helps you understand yourself, profoundly and honestly. And that knowledge and understanding empowers you to design the life you want to live.
WORKSHOPS
Workshops with the Ontological Experience are interactive, engaging, and fun, focused around introducing attendees to a different way of thinking and being. The concepts are essential to exceptional leadership, but they’re useful for and applicable to every part of life.
By integrating the ontological framework and tools into group-centered experiences, Coach Mark Robertson helps professionals heighten self-awareness and understand how their conversations and actions grow more out of their way of being than anything they’re doing.
This understanding opens up powerful breakthroughs about how we support or stifle clear communication, build and erode trust, boost or bust group morale, and inspire or dishearten teams of people.
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
Over decades of ontological coaching and teaching, Mark Robertson has led powerful conversations around critical communication, relationship and leadership topics, from increased self-awareness, to listening and trust to emotions and moods, for thousands of people at events and conferences across the United States.
His speeches are engaging and interactive—never a monologue, always an energetic and inviting dialog—founded in neuroscience and communication studies but built around personal experiences, struggles, and breakthroughs.
Each engagement is designed to adapt to the audience, whether it’s groups of professional leaders or attendees who’ve been seeking broader, more personal growth.
