How Does Transformational Coaching Work?
What is expected of you. Your Responsibilities.
Assignments above are due upon receiving this letter and befor our first session.
Reminder: -- 2-4 hours of homework is is required for each Module in addition to the time listening and reading. This practice time is used for receiving and/or giving the exercises, connecting with your study group if you have one set up, and doing your own inner reflection on your new endeavor of Coaching [or the life change one wants to be making: career change, relationship enhancement, moving, etc.]
Each Module builds on the information that you learn in the previous Module - similar to learning how to play a musical instrument. Jumping ahead without the practice or thinking to yourself: "I know all this" or missing a module will be obvious as the foundation to a house is necessary for it to be built on - and, while you can work at your own pace, it is easier to work with a study group and support each other with the co-coaching practices in order to deepen your experience.
Practice is a requirement of the course, you will be keeping a record of your hours as part of the certification requirement -- please set time aside in your calendar for the 'practice sessions' ahead of time (time management). Just as you will learn to do for meeting with YOUR clients and being paid for the sessions. [Record keeping for each client].

As your Transformational Coach trainer, I am really excited to get to know you and your vision and dreams for your life and for your next steps! At the end of this course you will have a deeper, authentic, and clearer picture of the role of the Coach and the transformational process your own clients may be experiencing. There may be some obstacles as you go deeper into your own authentic self; and there may be opportunities for creating and adjusting the vision that you may be holding for your practice, life, and future. You will be completing the process with your own LIFE BY DESIGN PLAN which will include an action plan that will carry you at least 6 -12 months into the next phase of your professional development.
3. Several articles and documents: What is Coaching; What is a Transformational Coach; and my private coaching document as a sample: What is Ignite Your Genius Coaching. Please READ all of these documents.
4. Moving forward in the course, you will be asked to complete Client Assessments as if you are a Transformational Coaching Client. We will be doing these in the upcoming weekly assignments.
5. Transformational Coach Classroom site: In a separate email, I will confirm your email address and give you permission to the Part A Transformational Coach Classroom. AFTER receiving the Coaching Agreement from you. This Transformational Coach Classroom site is specifically designed for your course study
This is a PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL site, all content, names and phone numbers will be kept confidential and for the sole use of course participants only.
6. Coaching Practice is a requirement. A minimum of 3-5 hours per week specifically to practice each Module's Transformational Coaching tool.
You will be responsible for:
a. Contacting your colleagues and/or clients and setting up an exchange.
b. Keeping a written record of your hours as these count toward your ceu's.
c. Making notes of your results as a "receiver' and as a 'giver'; Your personal results will be included in your Life by Design Plan, and may be requested in order to track your understanding of the tools.
d. Sharing your experiences during our check in calls when asked - this feedback makes for a rich learning experience. It is YOUR TRAINING -- and you get out of it what you put into it. Participation broadens the experience. Each week you will be asked to fill out the "Session Preparation Form."
e. Bringing your best self forward to each meeting you have with colleagues and our meetings and tele-seminars is a practice of "presence."
A 'coach' holds the vision of the client's highest options. And the 'client' comes prepared and ready to work and be present in the process.
----essential, present, and conscious relationship---
Summary:
You may find yourself wearing several hats during the Core Training:
1. "I am learning to be a coach" hat and Sarah Horton is the trainer and facilitator of this process. I am 'your coach' and available to you as you will be available to your future clients. We will be engaging in a Coach:Client relationship; and you will be engaging in a coach:client relationship with your peer volunteers in the practice sessions.
2. During the first 4 modules of the course, relaxing into the 'mind of a beginner' will enhance
your experience as you open to and deepen your connection to your intuition, building rapport
with your wise mind, and touching into your authentic self. In this way you will be readying yourself to hold the positive vision and space for your clients to succeed and at the same time, experiencing what your clients might be receiving. Releasing and letting go of old patterns can be done with grace and ease by choice and allowing the energies to release without attachment.
3. In the practice sessions, you will have the opportunity to be receiving from your colleagues if they are former CTCs and giving to your colleagues. Here, you wear the Coach 'hat' when giving; and when you are receiving - the Client hat. Be authentic, be real, and welcoming of the new. There is always something to be gained in every interaction. Practice allows for the energy and sometimes awkwardness of 'trying something for the first time' in a safe an understanding situation -- releasing nervousness, self-consciousness -- gaining confidence and self esteem.
4. The first four modules in Part A and B are designed to work with the inner dialoguing, inner listening skills, accessing theta and super conscious states -- deepening rapport with our own inner authentic self. It is a spacial rather than linear receptivity that is needed. It is suggested that you allow your linear mind to relax and calm. And allow the spacial
creative mind to open.
5. In the second half of the course, Modules 6 - 8, we continue to build rapport and apply our results in an organized and accountable system as we create your Life by Design Plan which will include synthesis, sorting, prioritizing, and developing a step by step action plan. This Action Plan, then becomes your guide for the next six months to a year. Here, you might request a colleague to set up a trade for 'accountability' and continued practice.
