Life coaching vs Transformative Coaching, what’s the difference?

Many people ask, what’s the difference between Life Coaching and Transformative Coaching?…

The answer is simple, a life coach generally helps individuals set and achieve specific goals across various aspects of their lives, while a transformative coach like myself focuses on deeper, more profound personal change by addressing underlying beliefs and patterns, that are limiting your potential, with the aim to help create lasting transformations in your mindset and behaviour, rather than just achieving specific outcomes.

Life coaching vs Transformative Coaching, what’s the difference?

Depth of Change: Life coaching tends to be more surface-level, focusing on goal setting and action plans, whereas transformation coaching delves into deeper personal issues, exploring limiting beliefs and core values to facilitate significant change.

Focus on Process: A life coach might provide more direct guidance and strategies to reach goals, while a transformation coach prioritizes self-discovery and empowering the client to identify their own solutions.

Client Mindset: Someone seeking life coaching might be looking for help with a specific area like career or relationships, while a transformation coaching client is often ready to commit to a deeper exploration of their identity and patterns.

To put it more succinctly, a life coach might help someone who wants to improve their time management skills at work might work by developing a structured schedule and productivity strategies, whereas a transformative coach would work with the individual to uncover the root causes of their inability to to structure and develop their own productivity strategies, resulting in a lasting change that they will benefit from for the rest of their lives.
