What the day is for
A clear path from what is missing to what is possible
This is not a longer coaching session. It is a full day given to the questions you never get a clear run at, in a room with no interruptions. Four things happen in it.
Identify what is hidden
Uncover the unconscious, fear-based patterns that quietly limit your power in specific areas of your life.
Access your essence
Move beyond the survival mechanism to the core qualities that define who you are at your best, and learn to express them consistently.
Design your future
Co-create a vision that is specific and achievable, with practical steps you can begin implementing immediately.
Declare your purpose
Write a personal manifesto that articulates your core values, your fundamental beliefs, and a future of your own design.
Your Day
Six phases, each building on the last
The sequence is deliberate. You start with how you are built, then separate the autopilot from the essence underneath it, and only then look at what is actually in the way. The vision comes last, because one designed before those three is a wish.
Personality Assessment
A detailed exploration of your personality type, including the key strengths and the shadow patterns affecting your personal and professional relationships.
Essence and Survival Mechanism
A guided process to distinguish the fear-based autopilot that keeps you safe but small from the core qualities that define your most authentic self. You map both, and learn to choose between them.
Power Question Interview
A personal interview that identifies the specific challenges and obstacles keeping you from realising your full potential and from deep satisfaction.
Personal Manifesto
Private time to compose a declaration of your core values, your fundamental beliefs, and a future of your own design. It becomes a living document you keep.
Designed Future Dialogue
From the new vantage point, we co-create a vision across seven dimensions of your life. This is where the day's insights become a specific, actionable plan.
Integration and Next Steps
An open dialogue to address your questions, go deeper on anything the day uncovered, and design a sustaining practice so the results compound rather than fade.
What shifts
Where participants report lasting results
A life orientation that moves from reaction to possibility and purpose
Higher levels of motivation, confidence and contentment
More enjoyment and satisfaction across the parts of daily life, not only work
Stronger relationships at home and in the business
Deeper connection in intimacy and partnership
A designed legacy that takes root through your relationships and your work
the framework
Four pillars, applied in a specific order
Grounded in ontological inquiry and the science of being, Vista View draws on four pillars of leadership development, integrated with mindfulness practice and three decades spent inside the rooms this work is for.
Emotional Intelligence
Emotion is data about what matters and what is missing. Read it accurately and it stops running the meeting from the back of the room.
Conscious Leadership
Finding the cognitive blind spots, then designing commitments that align what you value with decisive action.
Ontological Inquiry
How language, listening and way of being shape what you are able to perceive, in yourself and in everyone around you.
Mindfulness Practice
Presence and embodied awareness as the ground that clarity and resilience arise from. It is a trainable capacity, not a mood.
before your day
Come ready to do the work
Eight hours of this requires real concentration. What you get access to is a different conversation and a different level of commitment, and that only works if you arrive prepared.
- →Arrive well rested, well fed and on time. It is a demanding day and your energy matters.
- →Expect an electronics-free day with no interruptions. Full presence is required.
- →Be willing to experience some discomfort. The process is unfamiliar and it pushes the edge of your comfort zone, which is where the breakthroughs are.
- →Have your life or business partner available for a one-hour confidential interview beforehand. It is scheduled in advance, and it is one of the most useful hours of the whole engagement.
Who is guiding
David Perry
Executive and Leadership Coach, Zürich
30 years in data storage before coaching, most of it in Silicon Valley and then Zürich. He was the person they brought the hard problem to. He has coached since 2016 and trained as an ontological coach with Ontoco and the Newfield Institute.
He runs this day in Zürich and in the Swiss Alps, and works with leaders internationally.
At the end of the day you have a fresh perspective, new insight, and a clear path from what is missing to what is possible.
How to start
Book a First Look
20 minutes, at no cost. We get introduced, look at what you are actually carrying, and decide together whether six months of this is the right answer. If it is not, I will tell you what is.
No pricing is published. Fit comes first, then the numbers.
