Introducing Transformational Coaching

Welcome to my page and the home of Transformational Coaching.

When I decided to write this post I asked myself what makes the difference between coaching as a pure solution focused approach and Transformational Coaching.

The difference has been shown to me in my work with clients and the amazing results that this has opened up for them. To me transformation happens on two levels.

Firstly for the reflective practitioner who has mastered their own craft.

This would have come about not just through reading books, attending training courses and seminars but by being authentically present to their own life experience which can bring about a sense of unspoken understanding for the client. It can be understood in the client feeling safe to open up and engage within their own internal landscapes, this in turn can help them to start to let go of the need to control everything in their life and take clear and positive steps forward with renewed faith, confidence and vision for how they want their life to be and improve.

This is done by the coach being an observer of the client. Being a witness to the self actualization that takes place for them, the coach is not the lynchpin in the change for the client but merely a highly skilled and congruent practitioner who helps facilitate a sense of “can do”. Holding an empowering view that the client is not in fact broken but merely unable (for whatever reason) to move ahead with full confidence and unshakeable determination.

I have been part of some amazing displays of transformation within my coaching work.

Once transformation has occurred it simply isn’t acceptable for people to find themselves back at the start thinking here I am again.

People want more than this. It isn’t good enough to focus on coaching as purely a set of external results in a traditional target and goal based approach.

People are for more complex than this and by working on deeper levels of experience both past and present with the client this unlocks amazing self empowerment and resources and leads on to a life filled with far more purpose and direction.

I am very excited by these shifts and encourage you to go for more!  Start to create your own transformation.
