I'm often asked if I have a coaching framework. I've said I had many that I draw on, not one. But that's not a sufficient response. I stand most fundamentally in three traditions:

• Ontological Coaching: This foundation (which I've studied with Fernando Flores, Chauncey Bell, and Bob Dunham over the last 20 years) focuses on "ways of being"—how we show up in the world through the interplay of language, emotions, and body—as well as our ways of doing. Unlike typical executive coaching, which often emphasizes goal-setting, performance metrics, or behavioral adjustments, ontological coaching dives deeper into the underlying structures of how we perceive and engage with the world—shifting the lenses through which we see, so we can create—and deliver on—new possibilities for action and impact.
• WISC (which I've studied for nearly 15 years with Bryan Franklin and Jennifer Russell, coaches to 12 unicorns): Two dozen models spread across four quadrants: Workable Actions (strategy and practices); Internal Experience (beliefs, identity, internal narratives); Systems & Scale (organizational growth architecture); and Culture & Leadership (culture, leadership, relational dynamics).
• Living Systems (a framework that I've been developing in the course of 50+ years of work building the sustainability and sustainable business movements): distilling and applying 3.8 billion years of open source R&D from the living world to evolving productive, efficient, adaptive, resilient, profitable, value-building systems.
