What makes a coaching conversation transformational is the coach's capacity to evoke the client's awareness and deepen the learning of what it takes to honour the heart's true desire. At its core, it is an ontological approach that focuses on enabling self-actualization.
Coaching Topic presented by the client:I want to have clarity in mind about whether this is the right time to go ahead with my business plan because there are many criteria to be considered.
Learning Synopsis: The case highlights the importance of observing how the client relates to her problem.
While the client was clear and determined to get rid of the destructive behaviours, the emotion of discomfort was hindering the transformational impact, blurring the client's inner resources to triumph over the circumstance. The transformative coaching process has heightened the client's awareness to learn something from her emotions to evoke greater clarity and understanding. This is contrary to direct the client to learn about the emotions, which might potentially lead this conversation to root-cause analysis.
Here was the recorded interview with the client after the coaching session.
