Laying the Groundwork

Transformational Coaching is centered around two core principles:

​

• a conviction that we all deserve to thrive

​

• an understanding that our purpose (as coaches) is to meet the needs of every child, every day (pg. 31)

​

​

Core Human Needs

​

Humans have basic social and emotional needs, and we struggle when one of more aren’t met (pg. 5-6)
