I. Holistic Approach and Self-Awareness: Transformational coaching recognizes that change often requires a deeper understanding of the self, including beliefs, assumptions, and values. It goes beyond superficial goals and examines the underlying mental frameworks that may be hindering progress. This includes a holistic examination of life, such as cultural identity, influencers, and messaging, to identify factors that may be a catalyst or hindrance to significant change. 

II. Growth Mindset and Lifelong Learning: Transformational coaching fosters a mindset of curiosity, openness, and continual learning, seeing growth as a lifelong journey. This approach encourages clients to view challenges as opportunities for growth and development, rather than setbacks. It emphasizes the importance of adapting and evolving long after the coaching journey ends.  

III. Questioning Assumptions and Philosophical Enquiry: Similar to philosophical inquiry, transformational coaching involves questioning assumptions and inviting deep reflection. It encourages clients to investigate their worldview and arrive at their own insights, rather than being given solutions. This approach, much like the Socratic method, allows clients to explore their inner world and create new possibilities for their ways of being.  

IV. Empowerment and Responsibility: Transformational coaching empowers clients to take ownership of their lives and make conscious choices. It emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and responsibility in driving positive change. This approach helps clients recognize their potential and rethink their approach to life's challenges.
