The SOAR Institute has several coaches who have undergone specialised training and qualified as Ontological Coaches. Ontology is the study of human behaviour and our coaches have specialised in becoming the human observer, offering one-on-one personal development coaching, which brings about sustained and profound change within their clients. This coaching style goes way beyond mere performance and achievements for results in individuals or organisations, and fundamentally shifts human behaviour.

Vivashan Muthan [email protected]
Ontological Coach
Although Vivashan is a registered professional engineer, who holds an MSc in Industrial Engineering (Wits), BSc Mechanical Engineering (UKZN) and Financial Management certificate (Henley Business School), it was the major shift he experienced while enrolled in an executive coaching programme by the SOAR Institute that led him to pursue qualifying as an Ontological Coach.
Chris De Winnaar [email protected]
Ontological Coach
I became a coach to step into a place of self-reflection and healing to try and understand this thing that we call the human condition. Within my quest of becoming an ontological coach I became fascinated by the human condition. What fascinated me is not how unique our stories are but how similar we are. I know how much courage it takes to step into a place of self-reflection and expansion. You have my guidance, support and encouragement.
