Some insight into my coaching practice – what is a transformative coach?
A transformative coach is, literally, a coach that helps you achieve transformation.
I use a lot of my NLP (neuro linguistic programming) training in my coaching, and in this coaching discipline we use the term ‘creating a shift’. The creation of a shift means that the coachee has found the way to make a change that will help them on their journey and leaves the session with a plan to execute the change. This might be a different way to approach a problem, a set of fitness goals, or a time management plan.
The key is that the coachee ends the session in a different space than they started, with a way forward mapped out. My role as your coach is to walk alongside you as you work out what you’d like to change and then help you bring those changes to life. I’m not there to tell you what to do, I’m there to help you unlock your own thoughts on what you should do and then support you in defining your plan.
