There’s a kind of tension that lives quietly inside many of us, especially those of us who’ve worked hard, achieved goals, and done “the work,” only to find ourselves still feeling off-track. Like we’ve changed everything around us, yet something inside still isn’t aligned. That’s where ontological coaching comes in, a practice that invites us to look beyond doing and into being, helping us see how language, emotion, and body all shape the way we live and lead.
In this episode, we continue the conversation I had with Julio Olalla to explore the deeper roots of how we experience life and change. Together, we unpack the historical context of coaching and how it evolved from performance training into a profound path of human transformation. Julio shares the beginnings of coaching history, offering insight into how the language of coaching first emerged and how it continues to shape our modern understanding of growth and change.
We move through reflections on conscious leadership, existential questions, and the different levels of consciousness that influence how we see and respond to the world. Julio’s stories and wisdom reveal how inner awareness and spiritual development become essential as we grow, not as techniques, but as genuine ways of being.
If you’ve felt the call to slow down, to re-examine your patterns, or to step into deeper personal growth, this episode offers a grounded and compassionate path forward. It’s an invitation to expand who you are as an observer, and to live more fully into your own presence and possibility.
