What is Transformational Coaching?
Transformational Coaching is focused on enabling Self-Actualization and deciding on
“Who do you choose to be?” and what makes the process transformational is learning and doing what it takes to grow into the embodiment of that choice.

To facilitate this process, a transformational coach supports people to dive below the surface and immerse themselves into self-exploration, to examine their beliefs, images, and interpretations about who they are and their purpose and place in this world—it is all of these aspects which give rise to their existing way of being, and help them to shed light on why they experience life as they do.

If we have intentionally set about on a course of action to learn or grow—to communicate better, to manage our emotions more effectively, to be a better friend or partner—we have likely grown and changed, but have we necessarily transformed? All transformation is change, but not all change is transformation. Over time, real transformation occurs, and the necessary thoughts, attitudes, and actions to bring envisioned goals into existence will arise organically.

What is Required?
The willingness to face shadowy fears and beliefs in order to become free of patterns of thoughts and emotions that have held them captive for a lifetime. Change then happens at the core level of the mind, within the person’s internal operating system.  When the person grows significantly at this level it creates for equally significant shifts in their behaviors, choices, and emotions.

The intent of transformational coaching is to get to the essence, to the heart of the matter, to explore the ground of your being. This is a space of light and shadow, of fear and joy, of limitations and grand possibilities. Transformational coaching fosters self-awareness, but also goes beyond that—it enables people to attend to the structures which underlie their sense of self (who they believe they are) and then, through a process to transformation to (who they desire to be).

Transformational Coaching in a Nutshell:
Goal: To transform, Change, Be Different
Process: Being Focused, Dives Below the Surface, Gets to the Essence, Space of Shadow & Light, Illuminates One’s Inner Operating System
