The Fundamentals
Anyone beginning their journey into Transformational Coaching will no doubt be confused by the intricacies of the topic. So I will break it down for you in simplistic terms while ensuring that all angles are covered.
Even coaches looking to switch their field would benefit from a strong understanding of Transformational Coaching. Indeed, many coaches find themselves changed during the process of learning, and with a deeper insight into their own personalities.
Let's take an in-depth look at the coaching process and its principles.
What is Transformational Coaching?
Transformational Coaching is a process that brings about a holistic change in your client, allowing them to grow and develop into completely different beings. The main idea is that you help your client see themselves in an alternative perspective, enabling them to move past problems and obstacles they were previously unable to overcome.
The word transformation itself means a dramatic change in shape or appearance. Logically, Transformational Coaching uses this idea to rewrite someone’s behavior and past learnings.
What is the main principle behind it?
Much of Transformational Coaching has evolved from various principles such as Cognitive Behavioral Coaching, Transactional Analysis, and Person-Centered Therapy. Each of these has its unique aspects which combine to form what is now known as Transformational Coaching.
Cognitive Behavioral Coaching primarily focuses on an individual's thoughts about a situation. What an individual thinks about a situation affects how they feel about that situation. Hence, controlling our thoughts will similarly also control how we feel about the situation.
Transactional Analysis is a theory of communication that categorizes people into different ego states. The communicator is taught to identify these ego states and alter them to effectively communicate better.
Person Centered Therapy is an approach that believes that every human being has the potential to live up to their fullest potential, but end up with various hindrances and barriers due to life experiences.
Critical points from each of these theories have been adapted and modeled into a framework that holistically addresses each of these aspects into a single unified methodology, referred to as Transformational Coaching.
Who needs this and why?
Certain types of people respond extremely positively towards Transformational Coaching. These people are usually:
- Open-minded and curious
- Enthusiastic about personal development
- Willing to take responsibility for their life
- Prepared to change to succeed
- Someone who believes in their inner potential.
As you can see, these are all traits of a strong-willed individual. However, past experiences and circumstances can result in these same individuals developing mental barriers that prevent them from succeeding.
This is where transformational coaching is utilized, breaking down these barriers and allowing them to realize their true potential.

Origins
At this point, you will notice that Transformational Coaching is vastly different in what it sets out to achieve, compared to other forms of coaching.
In fact, this is not surprising. Transformational Coaching is a multidisciplinary approach to coaching, and as such, is a combination of methodologies and practices designed to holistically bring about change.
