Apprentice in a way of coaching that draws us into the depths of presence–attuning to our presencing nature within the presencing field, where generativity awakens through embodied contact with what is most essential in who you are.
What makes the DPC Apprenticeship unique is the living container and process that immerses you in a transmission of the DPC method, language, and practice, all sourced in presence. In the Apprenticeship, presence itself becomes the guide. It reveals the essence of DPC through a multi-dimensional process that unfolds in the group field, opening a new path of presencing for each participant and for the cohort as they journey together in this way.
As a whole process, DPC has emerged organically out of Olen's Masters, Ph.D., and Postdoctoral research, together with over 25 years of dedicated practice and research in presencing. At its deepest source, however, the work remains rooted in the living immediacy of presence itself, continually renewed in the depth and fullness disclosed in each unfolding moment. For the DPC Coach, this becomes a way of inhabiting and transmitting presence as the ground of practice; for the client, it becomes a lived encounter with their deeper wisdom—an experience that gradually reveals itself in the coaching process and opens new tangible possibilities for a transformed way of being and living.
Dynamic Presencing Coaching is sourced from the living depths of our presence. In this sense, Descartes’ claim, I think, therefore I am overlooks a more foundational truth.
To awaken presencing as an active, generative perception and a transformative way of engaging, we must first reawaken presence at the depths of being. Here, presence arises as both the source and essence of who we are.
At this depth, presence simply is. At our core, we rediscover ourselves as a dynamic source and flow of presence and presencing awareness.
In our depths, you are. I am. We are. The path reveals itself when key conditions are present:
I am, Therefore I Coach.
From this source ground, the essence of Dynamic Presencing Coaching comes alive, where the process becomes a living revelation and discovery of what is emerging for our client through our presencing natures in the coaching field.

My sessions with Olen have been a space of deep nourishment on the level of essence. From our first session I felt that Olen was able to get a sense of my uniqueness in relation to organisation I was part of and supported me to see more clearly the impact I’m already making. At the same time, the space we’ve been creating has also been a great place to confront some of my perceived limitations. There has been an opportunity to get into some of the more challenging and sticky aspects of my relationship to purpose, livelihood, boundaries, desires.
I have felt a strong sense of Olen’s commitment to presence and to the unfolding of the meeting between us as a guide in the sessions. He quickly got a sense of my resources, how I orient and what is most vital to me and this has created a strong sense of trust in the relationship from the beginning.

As I relaxed into my ground of presence in our sessions, the path I truly longed for gradually became clear.

Throughout our work together, Olen stood beside me with unwavering presence—offering not just deep understanding and insight, but a rare and compassionate attunement to my life that was waiting for me to step into.
I had the good fortune of experiencing Olen’s coaching firsthand in his MBA classes. His way of supporting everyone’s growth at a deeper essential level helped me appreciate what is possible with coaching. That initial experience left a lasting impression and became a point of reference to return to in my subsequent trainings with coaching and human systems intervention practices.
As I look ahead to his new coaching program, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement, even a bit of envy for the coaches who will be participating, as well as impatience to experience this transformational journey myself. The level of deep commitment, heart and presenced attention he gives are evident in every aspect of his coaching and teaching. It’s been a thrilling adventure to be on learning journeys with him in his classes and his coaching and I’m amped to finally see this program come into fruition.
Olen’s coaching brings an unplugged aliveness of presence that sparked in me new insight, levity and at times, contagious laughter as we dug instinctively into the deeper themes and challenges I was facing in my life a few years ago. One of his noted strengths was how he sources his presencing relationally in the coaching conversation and the generative currents this creates in the space. Our coaching sessions catalyzed an unexpected reconnect within as well as a simultaneously stretching into new growth edges that I appreciated.
Olen’s gift for balancing support with challenge felt on point and deliberately developmental. Though our sessions were old school skype audio only, I always felt deeply heard, seen and existentially engaged where it mattered most. Olen’s original presenced way of inquiring and accessing the unknown brought an aliveness and depth that was impactful, thought provoking and valued.
