Session

As the world turns on its axis, the coaching profession needs to evolve too. The next generation of coaching is transformative coaching. It defies some of the understood norms of developmental coaching and significantly expands the potential of the executive coaching role. Indeed, the transformative coach is able to hold the sacred emergent space at a deeper level of consciousness due to their own vertical development to later more mature stages.

Vertical Evolution is one of the fastest growing trends in leadership and organisational development today as it becomes increasingly critical and urgent for us to take conscious steps to evolve during this pivotal time of paradigmatic shift and renewal in the world. While valuable, developmental coaching is insufficient to enable strategic leaders to evolve to the level of consciousness needed to navigate uncertainty and cut through complexity.

To lead the co-design and transformation of our social and economic norms, business models and industry sectors, heal our personal shadow and the rifts within society, and together recreate a more sustainable, healthy, equitable and joyful world for all of us to live in, it is essential that there are many more leaders with the leadership capacity to do so from the mature integrative stage of Synergist.

Find out about the critical differences between developmental coaching and transformative coaching in relation to vertical evolution.
