In my 15 years of training coaches and studying transformation, I've noticed a fascinating pattern: The most successful coaches don't just use techniques - they master what I call "Deep Impact Coaching." Let me explain why this matters for anyone considering becoming a coach.
The Transformation Gap
Here's a startling statistic: While 92% of coaches focus on surface-level change (goals, accountability, motivation), only 8% create lasting transformation. Why? Because most coaches miss the crucial difference between change and transformation.
Change is linear. Transformation is quantum.
Let me break down the three levels of coaching impact I've observed:
Level 1: Surface Coaching (70% of coaches)
Level 2: Process Coaching (22% of coaches)
Level 3: Deep Impact Coaching (8% of coaches)
The 3 Pillars of Transformational Coaching
Through years of research and practice, I've identified what separates truly transformational coaches:
Example: When a client says "I can't find time," most coaches work on time management. Deep Impact coaches recognize this as a value misalignment pattern and create profound shifts in how clients relate to their priorities.
2. Breakthrough Conversation Architecture Average coaches follow scripts. Masterful coaches design conversations that create instant breakthroughs.
The key? Understanding the four phases of transformation:
3. Transformation Facilitation This is where the magic happens. Great coaches don't just guide - they create environments where transformation becomes inevitable.
The Business Reality
Here's what nobody talks about: The coaches who master Deep Impact Coaching don't just create better results - they command premium fees and have waitlists of clients.
Why? Because transformational results create word-of-mouth momentum. When you consistently create breakthroughs, clients tell everyone they know.
The Path Forward
If you're considering becoming a coach, you're facing a choice:
Path 1: Learn basic coaching techniques and compete with thousands of other coaches for clients.
Path 2: Master the art and science of transformation and become known for creating profound results.
This Saturday, I'm hosting a free training where I'll dive deeper into:
Real Transformation Is Possible
I believe we're entering a golden age of coaching. As the world becomes more complex, the need for truly transformational coaches grows exponentially.
The question is: Will you be among the 8% who master the art of profound transformation?
See you Saturday.

6 天前My main takeaways from this very insightful article are two-fold: a) the stargering percentage of coaches who are only content with obtaining surface-level change. I wonder what this is due to: lack of capabilities? lack of resources (a proven system)? ?? b) the 3 Pillars of Transformational Coaching, in particulr the Pillar of Breakthrough Conversation Architecture. To me, that is the game changer. What do you think?
