Strategic vs Transformational Coaching
Transcript
Hey, guys! Today I wanted to talk to you about the difference between strategic and transformational coaching.
Let’s be honest here. Strategic coaching is a bit easier to market in the first instance.
Because when you have a strategic coaching approach then you have a particular strategy that you know works for a particular person to get a particular result.
It’s very easy to say, “Hey, are you this type of person looking for this type of result, without this type of pain? I have a strategy that can solve your pain and get you X result.”
And if it’s a great strategy, they will get the result. Or they will get a result and they can hone the strategy to continue to get the result.
The difference between strategic coaching like that where you have a particular strategy that works in a particular way to get a particular result is that, with a lot of certainty, you can promise that result.
Whereas with transformational coaching and when we’re working with the unconscious mind where you’re going down deeply into the unconscious blocks of why the person might not feel confident to implement that strategy, or why they might sabotage that strategy, or why they might not be able to pull the trigger on strategies that they know they need to do then the difference is that, yes, you can say, “Yes, you’ll be able to move forward in your life. And, yes, you will feel better and you’ll be more confident. You’ll be more action-focused and more proactive.”
But it’s more challenging to promise a specific, tangible, practical result.
It’s two steps away to a tangible practical result – but the results that you do get with transformational coaching are more pervasive.
When you work with the unconscious mind and shift core beliefs and shift core limitations, transform values, upgrade frequency, then the results that the client will achieve will be pervasive through their entire life.
Whereas a strategy will make changes to that particular area of that person’s life and, obviously, that result will then upgrade their frequency and make a difference to the rest of the person’s life.
But with transformational coaching, you work very deeply at the person’s core limitations of who they are at an identity level.
When you make changes to a person’s identity then they show up in every situation differently. They show up to their partner differently. They show up in their sex life differently. They show up in how they’re handling their money differently, in their health differently, in their work.
In every different situation, they’re showing up at a higher frequency version of themselves when they’ve gone through a successful transformational coaching process.
So, it makes it trickier to market. That is for sure.
And both types of coaching have their place. They’re both super important. One is not better than the other.
They’re both really important, and at different times, and for different people with different needs.
I just wanted to make that clear for those of you who are running a transformational coaching business and operating with strategic coaching marketing methods that may not be working necessarily the way that you’d like them to work, that could be because it’s difficult to hone down a specific result that you can offer the person, because the results are pervasive through the whole person’s life.
I’d love to hear more about this from your experience.
Do you consider yourself a strategic coach or a transformational coach? Or both? And what’s your experience been? Let me know in the comments below.
I’d love to continue this conversation.
I consider myself first and foremost a transformational coach and an evolutionary coach, and I train coaches in my methods in NLP – primarily as an NLP trainer – to help them and support them to make changes at the unconscious level, to support their transformational power and their magnetic leadership, to show up and attract their ideal clients into their life and into their practice so that they can serve them.
There are a lot of really wonderful coaches of all different types in the world – and I’d like to know what kind of coach are you.
Are you strategic? Are you transformational? Who do you help? Let me know in the comments below.
I’d love to help you.
If you’re a strategic coach and you want to add in transformational coaching so that you can help people when they struggle to follow the strategies, then let me know and we can have a conversation.
Or if you’re a transformational coach starting out and you would like to amplify your mastery of your skills, then get in touch.
Speak to you soon.

“We couldn’t recommend Kylie highly enough.”
“Having ongoing training is essential for our team and our business. It’s important to look after the people that look after others. Kylie has the experience, professionalism and knowledge to engage with our team and help them understand about human behaviour and why people do what they do. In the wellness and health industry it’s a different sales and service delivery and it’s imperative to keep on top of these understandings to perform at our best to help others. We couldn’t recommend Kylie high enough.”
- Amanda Bracks - Owner Soulful Fitness (2019 Fitness Australia Boutique of the Year)
“She’s the best speaker they’ve ever seen.”
“I have worked with Kylie over many years. She has helped me as a Business Mindset Coach, as a motivational speaker for my gym clients at both Vision Personal Training & now at Flow Athletic. I bring her in to train my Personal Training teams in mindset, communication and how to coach our clients better and excel in our own personal mastery as fitness leaders. At my recent Fitness Business event, my gym owner colleagues were blown away by her talk, saying she is the best speaker they have ever seen. After every event we always get rave reviews about her talks and training. I highly recommend Kylie’s work as a coach & speaker.”
- Ben Lucas - Founder & CEO, Flow Athletic
“So many things are just falling into my lap.”
“I finished the Spiritual Awakening Course yesterday and I found it truly amazing. An incredible next step after our coach training. I feel so much more enlightened and “opened-up”. It has really opened my eyes to the power of the universe and the energy flowing in each of us. I loved it – thank you.
I am feeling so lucky at the moment. So many things are just falling into my lap. I visualise it and set my intention to manifest it and it comes. Things such as getting more clients, needing help to put my business online, not knowing how to get known in my local community etc. Courses / insights / clients have just fallen into my lap at the right time.”
Of course I am still learning and growing, but the course has really helped. Thank you”
- Katharine Williams - NLP Coach, Limitless Growth
“I have never been this happy or powerful.”
“Before I signed up with Kylie I had a busy PT business… I was exhausted and on the brink of burnout and no matter how hard I tried, I had reached a ceiling in my income that I just couldn’t break through. After completing my NLP Coaching certification, I found my true voice and the energy of my business has been completely transformed. I’ve created an online program, up-levelled my entire business and totally smashed my previous income goals. I make decisions more confidently and I can help my clients create change in their life even faster. On a personal level, NLP gave me the inner strength to leave a toxic situation and rebuild myself which lead to me discovering the love of my life! Today I am living the life that I’ve always wanted – but just hadn’t been able to put into words. I have never been this happy or this powerful. If you want to manifest the life of your dreams I would not hesitate to reach out for help from Kylie.”
- Danni Vee - Women's Health Coach, My Fit Tribe
“I’ve noticed big improvements in my finances and client retention”
I signed up with Kylie because I knew that to have a bigger effect as a PT I needed to improve my understanding of how the mind works. Through NLP Coach training I now have great coaching techniques that break through all sorts of negative behaviour patterns. I’ve noticed big improvements in all areas of my life including my own personal finances and my client retention. This has allowed me new freedom to work on scaling my business and helping even more people with less one on one time from myself. The coach training has given me the ability to fully unlock the power of your mindset and those that don’t have this skill are only tapping into a small amount of their potential.

“Magick happens every time!”
This morning I had a kick-ass coaching session with Kylie Ryan. We’ve been working together for a couple of months, and she’s the perfect person to help me integrate the rapid transformations I go through regularly. I’d been getting this vision of my fully mature creative and entrepreneurial self. His discipline, commitment, and command of wealth was 10x what mine is now, but it wasn’t really about money for him. Our coaching sessions usually roll with me saying, “Kylie, I want to be, do, and have EVERYTHING” and Kylie helping me find the archetypes and parts that aren’t integrated and bringing them together. MAGICK HAPPENS EVERY TIME.
