What is Transformational Leadership?

The traditional model of leadership in organizations has been transactional leadership, which seeks to achieve an outcome through an exchange of value (exchanging work for money, for example). This more common, current management paradigm – effective in many ways – is insufficient to respond to current global challenges.

Transformational leadership is a relatively new and evolving model of leadership in which leaders empower and develop themselves, their followers, and their organization to achieve extraordinary outcomes while generating high levels of satisfaction and commitment. Transformational leaders engage in their own personal transformation that has a profound effect on the people around them, and ultimately, their world. Followers of transformational leaders accomplish more than they imagine and achieve more of their potential.

Transformational leaders seek to go further, by living a principle-based life and responding to their higher mission and life purpose.

What is Transformational Coaching?

Transformational coaching involves interactions with a coach for the purpose of increasing an individual’s effectiveness, performance, personal development, and growth.

Transformational coaching empowers individuals to take responsibility for their lives and their outcomes through greater self-awareness – where they came from, who they are, and who they want to be while improving performance and enhancing their quality of life. Coaching provides education, training and skill development and a space to express emotions that are blocked.

Transformational coaching helps individuals become aware of how unconscious patterns have been wired into the brain from a very young age, and to "re-wire" new pathways and to achieve enduring skills and awareness, and last transformation.
