Building your career with transformative teaching… Humans, well, we struggle with that concept. We prefer negotiation over instincts. We struggle to accept that change is important and usually beautiful, if messy. Humans like to know exactly what we’re getting into before we take our first step. We want to know the outcome before we make any decisions – what’s in it for us? Imagine if a caterpillar refused to build a cocoon until it could have a say in what color its wings would be? Or until it was promised a certain flying speed? We might not have as many butterflies as we’d have anxious and negotiating larvae. This is why humans need a motivational coach.

Detachment while witnessing and acknowledging the beauty and richness of all human dilemmas is key to practicing compassion. When you attach yourself to another’s circumstances or emotional experiencing, you begin to swim in their soup. This is valuable if you are practicing empathy. But in this practice of coaching you need to remain detached and neutral in order to speak and listen with discriminating aptitude and capability. Much like an athletic coach, who stays on the side lines, our job is to stay out of the client’s soup. It’s a tricky place to play in, this fierce compassion. It’s a balance of being strong and being soft. As a friend of mine described it, it’s being an iron fist in a silk glove. Think of people who work in emergency situations. They remain clearly detached and focused on their intention of bringing support to people in need. And, at the same time they are so aware of the delicate balance between life and death and the fragileness of our humanity. They are so careful with a person who is physically broken, not wanting to contribute to the pain and suffering already being endured.

Transformational coaching draws its roots from a number of places and schools of thought. It takes what has proven valuable in old-school coaching methods and draws them together with new and deeper insights. In fact, transformational coaching is part of such an evolutionary process, gradually developing and adapting from other methods, you can’t even pin down when such a ‘thing’ started. This brings something incredibly powerful to coaching because it brings to the client all the benefits of learning which have gone before, and connects them on a deeper, more substantial, level.

Looking to the Future: Bringing Corporate Education and Degree Completion Closer Together. We have shifted to a lifelong learning culture and are moving away from the traditional degree pathway that was so clearly defined and used over the last 50 years. Students move easily from formal to informal learning and employers recognize that there is no one right way to gain skills and knowledge. This is the era of personalized learning. Less emphasis is being placed on degrees and more emphasis is placed on the employee’s ability to pivot, adjust and quickly learn new skills. Using the corporate training programs as a taste of your institutions’ degree programs, understanding the importance to the corporation you are working with regards to formal degrees vs. lifelong and workplace learning, and focusing on delivering programming based on need will be the key to success for the institutions of the 21st-century.
