The six-box model is a combination of three ontological questions used on three primary relationships. We use the questions as lenses to look through and observe the relationships under different conditions.  It is the aperture that we step through to do all of our coaching at Connection Lab. It is a tool for self-coaching, group coaching, and enterprise development.

Simply start by reading the six boxes out loud. Notice which questions and relationships might stand out to you. Notice if, during any of that process, you find yourself diving deeper into a specific experience or feeling.  If you start judging yourself or find yourself leaning into some kind of corrective behavior - use the phrase "isn't that interesting?" This process is not about judgment or correction, and using that phrase helps us notice how we are showing up under stress without either. Using the six box is a practice focused on language that helps us both notice and choose how we show up and what we want to get better at.

Ontological coaching is a powerful, holistic methodology focused on "shifting a person's worldview" - their core language, emotions, and bodily posture - to create sustainable personal and professional change. Rather than just solving problems, it alters how we perceive ourselves and others in the world, expanding their possibilities for new choices in action. Learn more→

After the workshop, you will likely feel a glow of energy from the experience. In service of keeping that warmth alive, you'll be invited to join your cohort in what we call the Lab Pass — our practice web app designed to support your ongoing development of human engagement. Use it to stay connected to your team and practice the tools and language of the Six Box Model. Shared practice is proven to be more effective than going it alone — and your cohort will support you every step of the way.
