Executive Coaching (Ongoing)

When we say something is 'transformational,' we mean that it causes a significant shift in or improves the performance of a scenario. Transformational coaching is a method of working with a client that goes beyond the surface of the topic at hand. It has a significant impact on all aspects of 'who you are.' It helps people to have a different relationship with themselves in terms of how they perceive, think, feel, and behave in situations, as well as how they relate with others.

Changes in behavior are necessary if coachees are to maintain the changes recognized in the coaching session; however, we believe long-term, sustainable change comes when an individual approaches a task or situation with a different perspective.

Coaching that works at the level of beliefs is known as transformational coaching.
