Coaching

Explore the art and science of transformative coaching through a combination of short-form lectures, mini-courses, and watching actual transformative coaching sessions filmed in real-time!

While traditional coaching helps people with performance and results, transformative coaching boosts productivity, creativity, and impact while changing people’s entire experience of life. We all naturally get more out of ourselves and our lives when we gain a deeper understanding of who we are and how the mind really works.

All of the videos and audios in this section are designed to support you in developing your own impact as a coach while highlighting some of the differences between the transformative approach and other modalities of coaching. The goal is not to “be like me” or any of the coaches you will have the opportunity to watch working with clients; it’s to see for yourself at a deeper level that we can really trust the real-time responsive intelligence and capacity for insight in ourselves to unleash those same capacities in our clients.
