Transformative Coaching Definition:
“Transformational coaching is the process of partnering with a Coach who will support you through a journey of growth, development and change that will enable you to see reality from a fresh perspective and make the most of any opportunities that you may previously have missed.”
What is Transformative Coaching?
Transformative coaching is a new and innovative approach to self improvement that focuses on fast acting, deep and lasting personal change by looking at one’s underlying beliefs, values, and identity.
Unlike life coaching it moves beyond surface-level goals and seeks to create a more fundamental shift in how you see yourself and your present situation.
The whole person, a holistic, transformative approach
Transformational coaching considers the whole person, not just their specific goals, but also their beliefs, assumptions, and values to understand how these might be impacting their behaviours and overall well-being.
It’s true to say that we’re often our own worst enemies and actively get in the way of our own goals by clinging onto limiting beliefs and behaviours that might have been useful once, but no longer serve us.
Your coach will delve into your internal world to help you become more self-aware of limiting beliefs or patterns of thinking, you can if you are confident have a try at this yourself using our signature 4R Coaching method.
Introducing the 4R Coaching Method.
- Reflect
The first step is to gently explore your current beliefs and feelings about your present situation, such as your job, your homelife, the relationships you have with other people, and compare that to the life you always wanted for yourself. Are you where you should be in life? Do you feel held back, are other people to blame or is it really just you? Be honest and answer truthfully. If you are unsure or don’t know how to proceed we can help you identify the specific sources of your limiting beliefs—whether it’s fear of failure, perfectionism, or pressure from family, peer pressure and so on. Reflection allows you to understand your mindset and the beliefs that may be limiting your potential. - Reframe
Next, you should work on shifting your perspective. Instead of viewing your present situation as an insurmountable obstacle, you can learn to see it an opportunity for growth. Reframing your mindset helps reduce anxiety and build resilience, enabling you to approach your goals with a sense of calm and purposeful resolve. You and you alone are responsible for your success and this is a good thing! - Reconstruct
It’s at this point that you must reconstruct your internal dialogue and develop new, empowering beliefs about your abilities and worth. This may involve creating practical strategies to manage workload, set healthy boundaries, and maintain a balanced lifestyle and allow yourself the time you need to achieve your goals or vision. It’s this process of reconstructing your mindset that paves the way for sustainable success, putting you firmly in the driving seat! - Reaffirm
Finally, you should focus on reaffirming your newfound confidence and values. Through a process of ongoing support and affirmation, you can reinforce your self-belief and commitment to your goals. This proactive phase ensures you that you will stay motivated, focused, and resilient, even when faced with future challenges.
It’s hardly surprising that you’ll soon feel empowered to take ownership of your life and explore new possibilities. You’ll be able to become the best version of yourself.
Transformational coaching aims to create enduring changes by addressing the root causes of issues, rather than simply addressing symptoms.
It helps clients challenge their assumptions, reframe their thinking, and gain new perspectives on their lives and goals.
How it Differs from Traditional Coaching:
While traditional coaching may focus on specific goals and strategies, transformational coaching goes deeper, exploring the underlying reasons why a person might be facing challenges or struggling to achieve their desired outcomes, often times those reasons may be holding the client back from realising their success. Out thoughts, beliefs and assumptions may be barriers to success!
In essence, transformational coaching is a powerful approach for individuals seeking profound and lasting personal change, by exploring their inner world and empowering them to create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
