What IS Transformational Coaching?
People often confuse coaches, mentors, and sponsors. Each serves a different purpose, with occasional, limited overlapping.
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership." I describe coaching as "listening and reflecting, not advising or telling."
Authentic coaching believes the coachee is the expert in their own life and needs guidance exploring and activating the answers. Coaching can be transactional, transformational, or a bit of both. Since most "problems" are symptoms of something and not the actual issue, we use a combination of transformational and transactional coaching to identify the issue and resolve it.
Transactional coaching helps people deal with challenges or struggles they are facing at the moment. Transformational coaching deals with the deeper, underlying issues that are causing the challenges or struggles. If those deeper challenges are not addressed, it will be difficult to sustain lasting change.
That said, coaching IS NOT therapy or counseling. Therapy and counseling help people heal to the point they can function. Coaching helps them move from functional to their vision of optimal. In some instances, clients can participate in both, as long as everyone understands and agrees to their roles.

Be An Informed Buyer - Interview Your Coach!
Coaching is an investment, and you should know what you are getting. As with any service provider, find the coach that is right for you. It could take some time, but the right partner in your journey will be worth it.
All coaches are not equal, or a good fit for you. Great coaches specialize in specific areas, work with target populations, use approaches designed for specific needs, etc. They focus on you instead of themselves, ask open-ended questions, and display no judgment of you or gaslight your experiences.
Interview them to see if they are a good match for you. Ask how long they have been coaching, where they were trained, hours of coaching training and delivery experience, certifications, success stories or testimonials, insurance, confidentiality policy, refund policy, etc.
Your coach should also assess if you are right for them. Our coaches have completed over 1,000 hours of training each and delivered thousands of hours of coaching as internal employees and to external clients, and are consistently highly rated. We want to work with people who know we are right for them.
There are very good newly trained coaches and experienced uncertified coaches who might be a good match for you. If you are considering working with one, these tips will help you discern who is legitimate and who you might want to reconsider.
