Many believe that change and transformation are the same—but they're not. Change reshapes what already exists, while transformation births something entirely new.
Transformational coaching is often mistaken for coaching that facilitates change—helping clients shift mindsets, set goals, and take action.
That will happen, but true transformation is a far deeper process.
It is not about improving or adjusting what is, but about a restructuring of our sense of self, and our purpose and place in the world.
The outcome is the embodiment of new ways of being. True transformational coaching is ontological in nature. And for that, conventional coaching techniques alone are not enough.
Real transformational coaching accelerates personal evolution at the deepest level of mind and being.
Join us for a 60-minute masterclass led by Leon VanderPol, founder of the Center for Transformational Coaching and the creator of Deep Transformational Coaching.

I sense my coaching can go much deeper, but I’m unsure how to facilitate that level of transformation.
I would like to feel more adept at working with the psyche and the way the mind works.
What true human transformation is—and why it requires more than mindset shifts or behavioral change.
What ignites and propels transformation—the essential catalysts that make deep shifts possible.
Coaching beyond conventional methods and techniques—the uniqueness of the Deep Coaching approach.
Why the container matters—how the right space and presence create the conditions for transformation.

It’s a space of expanded consciousness that not only heals,
but also reveals our essential nature and the innate magnificence within us.
