#TransformationalCoaching #ICF ##RewriteYourReality #SaarthiForYou Is Transformational Coaching simply a buzzword? I come across so many posts, while each one adds value to what I already know, I often wonder what do people, outside of this community, understand about coaching? Is it guidance? Is it mentoring? Is it leading? Do you get advice? Or, do you expect the coach to give you a solution? Coaching is a partnership, a deep collaborative approach aiming at meaningful and sustainable shifts in your life. Here is more:

The use of silence can be so powerful in a conversation, yet we often feel the need to fill it so quickly. The one thing I love about coaching is - it’s not about me and what I need, it’s about my coachee and what they need.

This! to all my leaders........ Listen. Ask 🤫 (silence). Let it land. We have two ears 👂 and one mouth for a reason. The solution is in the silence. I have been working with emerging leaders in an organization (IYKYK) for the past 4 weeks and this idea of Listen. Ask. Let it Land has been very insightful💡 for them. Creating a coaching culture takes small shifts that impact in BIG🫸 🫷 ways.

Ask one reflecting question and hold the space with silence, so the client has the space for seeing and thinking forward with choice. Move the client from fast thinking into slow thinking (Daniel Kahneman). #unlearn #executivecoaching

Real coaching expertise includes knowing when coaching is the wrong move. When someone needs a decision, coaching frustrates them. When they need information, it withholds. When they’re in acute distress, it misses what’s actually happening. The useful question is rarely "How do I coach this?" but rather "What does this moment actually call for?"

What are the principles that make transformative coaching different? In this video, Nick Bolton - Founder of Animas Centre for Coaching - introduces the twelve principles that underpin the Animas philosophy of transformative coaching. These principles describe ways of seeing, relating, and engaging with another person’s thinking, rather than steps to follow or methods to apply. The video offers an overview of all twelve principles and introduces the deeper orientation they represent. Each will be explored further in the rest of this series, revealing how they interact with each other and how they inform coaching conversations in practice. If you’re interested in the philosophical foundations of transformative coaching, this is a thoughtful place to begin. https://lnkd.in/g_3heGHD

Had a engaging conversation during my presentation “Integrating #VisualMetaphors in #Coaching” at the Center for Excellence in Coaching and Mentoring Quarterly Development Session at the Cleveland Clinic. We explored how visual metaphors can deepen coaching conversations, encourage perspective shifts, and create meaningful insights beyond verbal-only coaching. Participants experienced the 4-step Points of You® process and reflected on the science and impact of visual metaphor in coaching. I am very pleased with the interest in this topic. Thanks to CECM for the opportunity to share this creative coaching method.

Coaching is not about changing the person. It is about expanding their thinking. New Thinking creates New Choices. The BlewMinds Coaching Certification Program strengthens a Coach’s Ability to expand thinking & open up possibilities. Coaching Question of the Day: How can you help someone think beyond their current perspective? #CoachingPresence #ExpandThinking #CoachDevelopment #LeadershipThroughCoaching #BlewMinds Sandeep Kochhar Vishwapriya Iyer, MCC, ICF

Coaching from “my” perspective is totally useless! Unless you’re coaching yourself, coaching must be from “their” perspective. Otherwise, your right is their left; your up is their down… metaphorically, of course. Because if your coaching sounds like turn-by-turn instructions, you’re dictating, not developing.

The hardest part of coaching isn’t asking questions. It’s not answering them. Each coachee is the expert in their self, not the coach; my answer might not be the answer you need. Likely you have the answer inside of you IF you look, the coach is there to help with your search. #ICW2026
