An Introduction To Transpersonal Coaching

By Allyson Burke


Traditionally a motivational speaker or coach will focus on one aspect of a client. The client may want to focus on getting a promotion or improving their relationship. There is nothing necessarily wrong with this approach. However often one problem can have a negative impact on a range of other circumstances. Therefore you may wish to consider finding transpersonal coaching services for a deeper approach to your life.

The term transpersonal refers to looking at something that goes beyond the individual. The lessons taught to us in school, the friends we have around us and how we are brought up as children all potentially influence our lives. However it is important to note that this is not about assigning blame or excusing behavior. It is about being empathetic and looking at how you can turn a negative reaction into a positive one.

All of these aspects influence the behavior of an individual. A transpersonal coach looks at their client and considers what is known as the voice of their soul. As every person is unique equally the coaching that client receives has to be individual as well, recognizing that one person can have a different reaction to the same set of problems as somebody else.

The opposite is also true. If you go to work having just had an argument with your partner then it is unlikely that you will go with a positive attitude. This then means you may end up being more sensitive to criticism and this may be something noted when it comes to a report or when you are up for a promotion.

However a coach can also go deeper. For example improved health can lead to reduced stress. This in turn can mean people feel happier and are more likely to be able to focus on their working life. This holistic approach means that a lot of the issues that can be obstacles to fulfillment can be dealt with in a way that you may not necessarily get using more conventional motivational methods.

It is also about mastering the self. This does not mean becoming arrogant or self centered. A coach looks at both the personality of the individual and their personal and professional circumstances. Over time they can help a client recognize how to look at how they behave and make changes for the better.

There are a number of people that can offer this service. It can be difficult as a client needs to open up to their coach. However it is not the same as therapy. It is not so much about looking at the past and resolving inner conflict as it is looking at how those inner conflicts and wider societal influences are causing obstacles that prevent people reach their goals.

You can find numerous transpersonal coaching services online. If possible meet with them in person to discuss their experience and to gauge how they interact with you. This will make it easier to find a coach that is compatible with you and will give you the best chance of reaching your goals.
