I believe anyone can change their results through transactional or transformational processes. A person or team can undergo transactional changes, such as changes in behavior, without transforming their mindset, mental attitude, or perspective. As long as challenges are encountered, and the goals to be achieved are consistent and predictable, you can change the results to extraordinary through training, mentoring, and consulting.

For me, coaching is a process of change through self-transformation through meaningful conversations under the client’s control, with the coach’s intervention in giving space, provoking, and evoking in his creative ways.

The depth and magnitude of change are determined by the client’s willingness to provide information and the meaning of the goals he wants to achieve. Transformational change needs trust. Because of that, I was asked by several companies to become an external coach, even though they already have a reliable internal trainer. Transformative change is best achieved with outsiders with competence, whereas transactional changes are accomplished with an internal coach.

The depth of the answer to the question “what is this really about” can only be answered as deep as a sense of security and trust in a coach’s credibility in the client’s eyes. On the other hand, using the answers to these questions to transform the client is highly dependent on the coach’s skill. Partnership formed.

In the coaching journey, I agree with Claire Pedric, MCC, using the word “the Thinker” instead of “the client.
The client must be the “thinker,” a person who is responsible for exploring his mind, broadening his views, and coming up with insights that go with his true self.

Client as a thinker makes coaching valuable, and a coach’s responsibility is to use his competence to transform clients as far, deep, and extensive as they want.

I believe that it is clients who invite certain conditions, challenges, and obstacles into their lives so that these things become a part of their lives. Even though certain conditions, challenges, and obstacles may come from the client’s environment, superiors, family, or situations, they are still invited by the client.

The client sends the invitation because they are ready for something bigger and long for it, whether they realize it or not. It’s essential for “the Thinker” to have a coach on this journey.
