How Can I Integrate OTTO Into My Coaching Sessions?

OTTO can be a valuable addition to your coaching sessions, but it’s important to use it in a way that aligns with your approach. Rather than replacing your role, OTTO can serve as a tool for deepening inquiry, offering fresh perspectives, and supporting your client’s direct exploration.

Ways to Use OTTO in Sessions

• As a prompt for exploration – If a client feels stuck or caught in a repetitive thought pattern, OTTO can introduce an inquiry that shifts perspective.
• To invite direct experience – Instead of discussing concepts, OTTO’s questions can guide clients into immediate exploration beyond mental understanding.
• To break habitual loops – If a conversation becomes overly analytical or circular, OTTO can introduce a fresh, unexpected angle.
• As a shared inquiry tool – You and your client can engage with OTTO together, reflecting on what arises rather than treating it as a separate resource.
• To continue the process between sessions – OTTO can serve as an ongoing companion, allowing clients to engage with inquiry beyond their time with you.

Practical Tips for Seamless Integration

• Introduce OTTO as an inquiry tool, not a coach – Make it clear that OTTO is there to support exploration, not to replace the coaching process.
• Use OTTO selectively – It doesn’t need to be present in every session. Bring it in when it feels like the right moment for deeper questioning.
• Let the inquiry breathe – Once OTTO provides a question or pointer, allow space for reflection rather than rushing to the next step.
• Encourage clients to engage with OTTO on their own – If appropriate, invite them to explore it between sessions and bring back insights.

By integrating OTTO in an organic way, you create a dynamic coaching space where both human presence and deep inquiry work together.
