THE TOP TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHES
In the world that we live in today, people are rarely afraid of changes. We’re all about self-improvement and lifestyle enhancement and hence, transformational coaching is gaining momentum.
Transformational coaching is a type of coaching that helps people to change their lives for the better. It can help them to achieve their goals and dreams, and to become the best version of themselves.
It can also help people move on from difficult experiences or past traumas. Often, these experiences can hold us back from achieving our full potential. Transformational coaching can help us process these traumatic events and allow us to start moving forward in our lives.
It can be especially helpful for people who want to achieve a specific goal, such as losing weight or quitting smoking. The coach can help the person set realistic goals and develop a plan of action that will help them achieve their goal. The coach will also provide support and encouragement along the way.
If your situation warrants an appointment with a transformational coach, research well for coaches specializing in your niche. To help you with this process, we’ve compiled a list of the top transformational coaches across the world, each with their own unique way of helping their clients in their goals of change, where we’ve asked them what’s unique about their coaching and what has been the biggest factor for their success.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My approach is centered on a practical, coachee-driven foundation. My unique differentiator is integrating business insights with personal transformation, facilitating impactful journeys. Together, we uncover authentic leadership capabilities, navigate through barriers, and cultivate a mindset of success. Our coaching sessions delve into both mindset and tangible steps, enabling the coachee to apply newfound insights and resources. This balanced approach ensures a powerful blend of self-discovery and actionable progress, fostering clarity, focus, and resilience.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
As a coach, adaptability stands out as the most critical factor contributing to my success. I leverage the TGROW coaching model, yet with flexibility I tailor my coaching style to the unique needs and personalities of each client. Whether it’s adjusting communication methods, altering goal-setting strategies, or modifying feedback techniques, being adaptable ensures that I can effectively support individuals in reaching their full potential. This ability to pivot and customize my approach fosters trust, rapport, and ultimately, meaningful progress for my clients on their journey toward success.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I support people through transformation by tapping into their strengths, making peace with their imperfections, and challenging their limitations. Through the use of visualizations, imagery and metaphor, emotional intelligence, and neuroscience, I offer my clients tools and techniques they can use any time to re-energize their day or recenter themselves when they feel adrift. As a result, my clients report they feel at ease being themselves in almost any situation.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Without a doubt, mentoring and being mentored has been critical to my success. Because of the reflective practice and focus on the core competencies, mentoring has transformed my coaching, super-charged my intuition, and given me the freedom to be fearless and confident in my practice and in my life.
Kelly Hanlin McCormick

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I help working moms who struggle with anxiety completely transform their experience with worry, overwhelm, burnout, and stress. My programs are based on the teachings of mindfulness meditation and yoga philosophy + modern science-backed approaches to thought work, emotional processing, and habit formation. I have worked with hundreds of students over the past decade and supported countless families in creating more presence, confidence, and steadiness into their everyday lives.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most important things I offer as a teacher are my personal experience with anxiety and my decades as a practitioner of tools and skills that change the way you think, feel, and act. I’ve created a curriculum and toolbox that demystifies anxiety, gets into the inner work of thinking and feeling, and combines all of that with renewed skills in relationships, communication, parenting, career health, and overall wellness to support students in living their lives in a deeply content and calm way.
Brandon Spratt
A yogi, meditator, author, multi-dimensional healer, transformational coach & counselor …and infinitely optimistic! I’m here on this planet dedicated to helping you love yourself fiercely! If you’re curious about my background and how I came to do what I do – alllll the juicy details are in my book Awaken where you will get allllll the T!
My Early Background: I was born in Florida and then moved to California and then moved back to Florida, and repeated this a few more times. I guess you could say, I like to stay close to water. Now, I live in Bali, Indonesia where I love to snorkel, explore, go on adventures, and enjoy a balanced, peaceful, and simple life.
I spent some time on rock bottom being homeless in LA and by the grace of The Universe, I climbed my way back up, worked on myself, and became passionate about all things divine, spiritual, and became driven to help others overcome really challenging situations through a variety of spiritual and psychological tools.
I am always wanting to learn more and “upgrade” my consciousness. I enjoy apprenticing with medicine men and women to achieve more wholeness and then to help others heal and grow. I’m interested in a wide variety of subjects – anything from improving my writing, business expansion, and entrepreneurship to spirituality, psychology, healing, Ayurveda, Hypnotherapy, and other healing arts.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My coaching is different because I combine many kinds of healing modalities and somatic techniques together for a total healing effect. I also have worked with a clinical psychologist to create my own inner child healing trauma methodology. As a coach, I understand that I am part motivator and part healer. I want my clients to have results and I give them more than just accountability. When someone wants to transform, resistance will occur – this is natural and just how nature and the human psyche work. So, when they are experiencing those self-sabotaging moments or sliding back to old patterns and behaviors, I offer a technique, or method to help them process and transform emotional and mental blocks so they can be in high vibration and manifest their goals with ease and grace.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Consistency. There are a few reasons why success comes. In order to achieve your definition of success, you have to have clarity on what that is and set incremental and achievable goals that you believe you can achieve. Consistency is what helps you to embody your new identity as a “successful” fill-in-the-blank, etc. The more you show up for yourself in your business, the more you embody the qualities you wish to expand upon within yourself. This is what I have done and continue to do and this has proven to be successful.
Daniel Ciobanu
Daniel Ciobanu is a Strategic Intervention coach dedicated to helping people worldwide design the life they desire, reach new heights and feel the fulfilment they have been striving for. Daniel’s gratitude and motivation comes from seeing that his work with the people he coaches brings beautiful changes in their lives, better perspectives and new meaning to situations that were difficult to digest before the coaching.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
In my practice, I use the Activation Method. A type of Strategic Intervention coaching, based on the core belief that all people have the potential to overcome the negative patterns and beliefs keeping them from thriving and reaching their goals.
Together we awaken the greatness that lies within you! Most types of life coaching focus on one type of result such as: goals, beliefs, steps. Using AM, I address a range of human potential and obstacles. Goal setting, communication skill building, relationship work, high performance, meaning/purpose discovery, and creative strategies will aid us in putting your dreams into action.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing that has contributed to my success as a coach was the courage to start and the authenticity that I allowed myself to have in my coaching. Often times, we put on different masks, thinking that as coaches, we should be spotless. In my experience, I found that being true to myself and owning my flaws helps my clients be more comfortable, receptive and understand that they are dealing with a person who is not superior to them, but has had similar human experiences and has found a way to improve and overcome challenges.
Joie Cheng
Joie Cheng, M.S.W., The Queen of Transformational Book Publishing, is passionate about helping people write and publish their books so they can make the income and impact they desire and deserve. She believes that when we share our stories we heal ourselves and we heal the world.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My coaching is comprehensive and tailored to each client. Even though the focus is on helping my clients to write and publish their book(s), if something comes up in a different area of their life during the session we address it together as I believe everything is connected and when my clients work with me they not only get a coach but a mentor and healer as well.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing that has contributed to my success as a coach is writing and publishing my book which allowed me to double my income in three months, get my highest paying client, get asked to speak at events and be interviewed on some of the top podcasts in the world with millions of listeners.
Lauren
Lauren is a multi-certified coach and spiritual practitioner with 10 years of experience in the field. She’s facilitated over 10k paid 1:1 coaching sessions.

She brings all of this knowledge and various holistic healing techniques to the table.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I worked for many years as a Healer and in my coaching practice I teach people how to shift their energies. This can be empowering and liberating for people to remember what it’s like to feel good. When you are working on the level of mind, emotion, and energy people transform quickly.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I see myself as a conduit for the cosmic force to work through me. It’s not about me or my success. The best thing I ever did was get over myself. Humility and being heart-centered are important virtues that lend to seeing people through a filter of love. People feel that, and when people feel genuinely cared for transformation is natural. I also deeply believe that the divine force oversees my affairs and connects me to who I’m aligned to serve. As a result, I’ve had to do very little marketing to have a healthy flow of ideal clients.
Hope Knowles

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
What I do differently than a lot of other coaches out there, is I am not stuck in just one or two coaching styles. I adapt my coaching style based on what is best for the client. Some people thrive in directness, while others need a softer approach. Being able to shift as needed through adaptive approaches, allows me to truly cater to each person’s/business’s coaching plan to them.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing that has contributed to my coaching success is my relationship with God. Being a Christian-based coach, I keep Christ at the forefront of everything that I do. Being surrendered to His will allows me to lead from an authentic place.
Melissa Knight Taylor
Melissa Knight Taylor is a Master Practitioner of the revolutionary model for transforming developmental trauma called the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). She is a fearless and dynamic force for healing, supporting you to step wholeheartedly into the fullness of your being.If you want to experience a deeper connection to yourself and others; move toward mastery of self-regulation; an unshakeable trust in your inner knowing; she will be your guide.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
This is a tough thing for most people to accept… if you think it’s not about your childhood, you’re probably wrong. The most striking difference between the way that I work and traditional coaching models is that I don’t work behaviorally. There are plenty of coaches out there who will tell you what to do, including practices and routines, etc. I am not one of them. This work is about removing the inner obstacles that get in the way of us moving toward what we want. The path forward on the other side of those obstacles is yours to discover.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
My unreasonable passion for, and commitment to, freedom and connection for all people is the driving force behind my work. That is the most important contributor to my success that I can take credit for. The teachers and mentors who have supported and trusted me are the foundation I stand on. My clients who continue to show up to do hard things with Olympian courage and perseverance inspire awe in me every day; they are the lifeblood of my work. This is not for the faint of heart.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I believe success is 80% psychology and 20% strategy. My flagship programs are designed to help its participants to dive deep into a journey of ultimate self-discovery to understand their inner DNA and reprogram their mindset for success. This journey allows its participants to master their inner world (thoughts and emotions) and outer world (words and action) and create congruence in life ensuring they live in their highest state which allows them to overcome fear and take action to drive results believed to be impossible by themselves
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I believe my sheer perseverance, belief in myself, and the ability to see the silver lining in every dark cloud have really contributed to my success as a coach. My clients have commended me on my ability to connect with them at a deeper level and my empathy has been two things they admire the most. But if I’m to select one thing that has helped me to arrive at the current point in my career; it is my never give up attitude. I am never ready to accept defeat and continue to push through any and every situation until I achieve my goals.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most important thing that has contributed to my success as a coach is the learning I have undertaken from both professionals and my clients. I trained with Newcastle College, The Coaching Academy, Dawn Breslin, INLPTA, Susan Jeffers, Isle of Wight College and Jamie Smart to earn my professional qualifications. I learned from my various clients so much more, which has made me a better transformational coach. The more I listen, the more I learn, not just about my clients but about myself. Every day is a school day.

Bianca is fiercely passionate about supporting and empowering women to heal their own disconnection by reconnecting to the power of their own innate healing, truly embracing their inner fire.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
All the coaching I do is approached through the Indigenous lens of reciprocity, living the ethos of gudu-guduwa (coming together) and ngalimi yunggudya (we give to each other) where everything involves connection to self, others and Country, outside of four walls.
Also, as both a qualified mental health practitioner and a transformational coach, I am able to help clients regardless of why they are coming to see me. Due to the high demand both within Australia and internationally for my individual, and group / retreat services, I created online transformational coaching courses that are accessed around the world.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing leading to my success is my intuitive and relational approach, incorporating my Indigenous connection to Country. My passion for helping women move through their disillusionment, supporting the development of strong, empowered families and communities means that I’m not afraid to have the hard conversations, or to challenge a client on their self-limiting beliefs.
People feel held and supported to create change in a way that is right for them, not according to others perceptions of them. My online courses also mean that people can access quality transformative coaching at a time that suits them.

I believe it’s my ability to see the greatness in my clients and transfer that belief to them even before they believe in themselves.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Ever since I was a child I have always looked for the best in people. I believe in, and have also experienced miracles. Following a period of intense and ongoing trauma in my own life, I decided to ‘get a degree in how to help myself’, which resulted in becoming a Master practitioner of NLP in 2001. Since then I moved on to gain other ‘degrees’, (mentioned in 2 above), which have allowed me to use a variety of skills, (to include humor and laughter!)

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I I teach what I practice myself in my daily life. Otherwise, I would not be a good teacher.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
Coaching with Myra is the opportunity to experience deep listening. There is no one size fits all, no ‘to do’ lists. It is simply a great conversation, where you will experience light bulb/eureka moments either inside the session or very often in between sessions. It is an awakening to the true nature of things.
Clarity and compassion will drop in. Through ‘unlearning’, self-sabotaging thinking and ideas will fall away. In this space you can tap into your unlimited potential and intuition, bring exciting dreams into form and tune into a higher energetic frequency thus experiencing a very different reality.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing was reading this: “Every human being is sitting in the middle of mental health. They just don’t know it.” — Sydney Banks (1931-2009)
Our inner world of thought and feelings are created by us and we can choose whether we let outside events and others shape these or not. There are 3 Fundamental Principles/Truths about Human Beings. The Principle of Mind, Thought and Consciousness which make up every human experience. When we can wake up to the movie-like nature of our own experience, we can do so much better with whatever the task at hand is.

Practicing a holistic approach rooted in mindfulness, neuroscience, and positive psychology, I have a deep understanding of the challenges leaders face.
One of the most important lessons my first boss Steve Jobs taught me was that you can have it all–a successful career, loving family, strong interpersonal relationships, and a healthy lifestyle. I am deeply committed to helping my clients thrive in all areas of their life, not just their career because I know with conviction that we are at our best when we feed our whole selves
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The amalgamation of my work experience, training, and proven methods have all contributed to my success as a coach. My MAP Method is a holistic framework I use with clients to guide them through authentic self-discovery, better choices, and purposeful growth.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My mission is to help top-performers reach their highest self and most inspiring goals, and so the main difference is my focus on overachievers, and my method devised as both an ICF-Certified Executive and Personal Coach (PCC) and as a former executive who knew what is standing between modern leaders and their full potential. The way I support them is not only be helping them to identify and reach business goal achievements (such as change management and executive presence), but also on the development of all of the “soft skills,” such as self-awareness, self- acceptance, vulnerability and empathy to overcome overwhelm, stress and their adverse effects in life and work.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Having just celebrated by 5 year anniversary in business, I believe that there is not one but TWO most important things that have contributed to my success:
- My commitment to my own dream of becoming a world-class, ICF accredited coach, which I have nurtured not only with faith and determination, but with gold-standard accreditation from the International Coaching Federation.
- The power of implementing systems to learn and to grow “on the job.” When I started my business 5 years ago today, I didn’t have much money or anything “safe” to fall back on. In addition, I also had very limited knowledge of the many things I now routinely employ, such as online marketing for a coaching/ consulting and speaking business, financial systems, running events, speaking professionally and more. Establishing these as systems that I learned and implemented, one by one, has upheld, grown and sustained the growth of my business. Even better, it has allowed me to focus on coaching and serving my clients, rather than handle the administration of a business.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I blend mindset coaching with strategic action, support, and accountability to help my clients truly transform their lives. I also work with many systems, processes, and tools that stem from neuro-linguistic programming and neuroscience.
With thousands of success stories, I customize my coaching to meet my clients exactly where they are and coach them beyond their limiting beliefs and stories that are preventing them from making their business, life, and career goals a reality. I also facilitate and create powerful vision board workshops, goal-setting workshops, and mindset workshops to reach and impact more people at very attainable prices.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing that has contributed to my success as a coach is being authentically me by showing up for my clients in a way that makes them feel fully seen, heard, and supported. Part of being authentically me is infusing my education and knowledge of business, marketing, and communications with powerful coaching modalities that take my clients from where they are to where they only have dreamed of being. This process includes having clients work through customized workbooks created by me to provide a powerful and intentional foundation for our work together… something that they can refer back to over and over again when they need more clarity.

His work as a coach, thought-leader, and community catalyst has impacted thousands of people, from urban schools to corporate boardrooms, helping them build resilience, deepen mindfulness, and activate their full potential.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My coaching is steeped in a variety of different disciplines, and emphasizes creativity, self-compassion, embodied wisdom, and emotional agility. I don’t help my clients set goals and then hold them accountable. Instead, I help my clients face their fears so that they can tap into their deepest purpose and potential. This allows them to release the constraints that stop them from reaching goals they haven’t even dreamed of yet.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
In a word: self-trust.
My clients gain access to a level of self-trust that few people ever get to experience. They leave with the confidence to navigate almost any challenge and create incredible opportunities for themselves and the world. It was this same trust in myself that helped me completely transform my own life. I’ve built a successful six-figure portfolio of work as a coach and consultant, launched a podcast with 10,000+ downloads from around the world, published a critically acclaimed novel, recorded two albums of original music, and become a proud father of two beautiful children in partnership with my amazing wife.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I coach women who are typically already living a good life. They’ve received a higher level of education and have likely seen plenty of success in their lives, but are still not feeling fulfilled. I help these women get to know themselves on a deeper level so they can heal the negative thoughts that hold them back from ultimate confidence and authenticity. The women I work with are smart and intuitive, but they don’t know who their authentic self is. Together, we learn what it is that brings them joy so they can integrate that into their careers and lives.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most important thing that has contributed to my success is having been in the position of the women I work with in my own life. I went through life checking off the boxes, going to college, getting a corporate career, getting married and having a baby. But something was always missing and it wasn’t until I found coaching and learned about my own life purpose and authentic self that I was able to live a truly fulfilling life. Since then, I have not stopped my own personal growth journey, always looking for ways to expand my life and views.
