| At various points in our life, we find ourselves at a crossroads. We know some form of change is necessary, but are uncertain about what we’re willing to embrace. It’s important to know how coaching approaches differ from one another when you’re seeking to find the right fit for your needs.
Transformational coaching is a powerful tool that provides an opportunity to take a holistic (emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual) view of your values and beliefs and to design an exceptional future based on what that means for you. It is the process of partnering with someone who supports you through a significant change that helps you grow and develop.
Transformational life coaches help clients gain a better understanding of how their environment and experiences shaped who they are today. We help clients identify limiting beliefs or behaviors and dissolve any patterns that may be preventing them from reaching their full potential. We use what is discovered about their thoughts, feelings and beliefs to address roadblocks and make actionable decisions about their future.
The biggest benefit of transformational coaching is long-lasting, sustainable change. Through the process of gaining awareness of your unique perspectives, understanding the special gifts you have to share with the world and conquering fears, you can become the person you were meant to be.
To offer more clarity…
The traditional Life Coaching process differs from Transformational Coaching where the focus is on addressing a specific challenge with a focused outcome. This model is beneficial for supporting specific changes or situations in a persons life, and is often used in professional environments. The coaching happens in a more linear fashion and is goal-oriented in nature such as when transitioning from one job to another, where a transformational coach would empower you to completely rethink what’s possible for you professionally and how that could impact the whole context of your life. It is good to note that a traditional life coaching engagement can take only a few sessions where the transformational coaching process can take much longer. |
