Welcome to the very first episode of The Ontological Experience. This new chapter is an invitation into personal growth, authentic presence, and human connection.

In this episode, I just wanted to share what this new format is about, why I felt called to start something different, and what led me to bring the word “ontological” front and center after almost three decades of coaching. 

I’ll talk about the ontological framework — what it is, why it matters, and how it's not just a coaching technique but a way of seeing and shaping your life in real time. We’ll start to look at how ontological coaching works through developing a habit of noticing your language, your emotions, and your body, and why being more aware of those is where real personal growth begins.

You’ll hear why authenticity in leadership feels more important to me these days, and how I’m leaning into that in a more real and unfiltered way. I also touch on the value of deep, meaningful conversations, especially now, and how they help build connected, human relationships that so many of us are missing.

This space is going to be about connection. Real emotional expression, authentic communication, and hopefully, some practical ways of creating change using grounded coaching tools that can meet you wherever you are.

This conversation is the starting point. A place to explore meaning, presence, and learning in a deeper way. I’m glad you’re here.

Let’s walk this path together. _________________________________________________________________ Welcome to The Ontological Experience with Mark Robertson A space for connected, authentic conversations rooted in the ontological framework and tools.
