There is no fee to use our Coach Finder, explore coach profiles, or to connect with a coach. We are committed to making it easy for you to discover a coach whose approach resonates with your needs, life experience, and your hopes for the future.
Our coaches bring different personalities, perspectives, lived experiences, and areas of focus to their work with you. We share a commitment to thoughtful coaching conversations and to creating space for you to explore what matters in your life. As a collective, we also support one another’s growth and success, continuing to learn and deepen the practice we bring to our clients.
Each coach brings skills and perspectives that can support meaningful exploration. Your connection with a particular coach matters, too.
You may feel drawn to someone’s way of listening or asking questions. Their lived experience may resonate with yours. Or their areas of focus may speak to the conversations you want to have.
Our Coach Finder offers a place to begin exploring those connections. From there, you can read profiles, discover how individual coaches work, visit links to their own websites beyond their profiles on this website, and access links to their booking pages. You can then have an initial conversation to get a sense of fit.
The ontological approach explores how our way of being shapes how we see ourselves, relate to others, and experience the world. It brings curiosity to the perspectives we have learned to live through—and to what might become possible when those perspectives shift.
Our work attends to language, emotions, and the body: how we speak and listen, the emotions we carry, and how we move and respond. Together, these shape how we make meaning, connect with others, and recognize what feels possible in our lives.
By shifting “the observer” in ourselves — in other words, how we see the world and our relationship to ourselves and others — we can begin to recognize possibilities that were previously out of view. Assumptions, familiar patterns, and the background listening we carry through life can create barriers we often don’t notice. Exploring them can open space for different choices and new actions. As we take new actions, new results can emerge.
The Observer, Action, Results model offers one way to understand this relationship: a shift in how we observe can open different actions, which can lead to different results.
Our coaches are trained in this ontological approach through the Newfield Network.
Many of us also bring additional training from diverse traditions and areas, including other ontological systems and transformational practices. Some of our coaches have training in other coaching modalities, while others have backgrounds in psychology.
Being part of this collective means continuing to learn and develop together.
We started The Good Coach Online to support one another’s growth, strengthen our coaching businesses and marketing, and help each other articulate what we stand for and what we can offer our clients. That mutual support is central to why this collective exists.
Through reciprocal coaching, coaching supervision, peer conversations, shared learning, and referrals, we deepen our practice and help one another build sustainable coaching businesses. We invite fellow coaches to participate in this ongoing work of learning, contributing, and growing together.

Are you a Newfield-trained ontological coach? We invite you to reach out and explore joining our community—a place to connect with fellow coaches, support one another’s development, and contribute to shared learning and community projects.
Registration is the first step toward joining the community. We look forward to getting to know you.
Our coaches live across Canada, the United States, and other parts of the world. Alongside individual coaching, we develop projects that bring learning, reflection, and connection into community life.
These shared projects also give us opportunities to expand the kind of people we get to be. By participating, hosting, learning, and contributing together, coaches and the people attending our programs can lift one another up and explore new ways of being in community.
We think of this as learning “how to human better”: becoming more attentive, generous, curious, and connected in everyday life. What we learn together helps us refine how we show up for one another—and, in turn, how we show up as coaches.
We periodically offer free public learning groups where people can explore and experience ontological coaching together. Through reflection, conversation, and shared inquiry, these groups introduce the Observer, Action, Results model along with many other distinctions that help us notice how we are seeing ourselves, others, and the world. Developing these distinctions gives us new ways to attune our observer, recognize the assumptions and patterns shaping our actions, and discover possibilities that may have been invisible before. This expanded awareness is a key part of transforming our lives, because when we learn to see differently, we can begin to choose and act differently—and create new results.
The next opportunity will open soon. Details and registration information are coming.
