“Transformational.” It’s the glitter of the coaching world. You’ll see it sprinkled on websites, brochures, and Instagram bios. It sparkles, it dazzles, and it promises something special. But glitter also has a downside: it clings to everything, gets everywhere, and sometimes ends up feeling more like decoration than substance.

So what does it mean to move from glitter to gold in your coaching practice? Sift through the sparkle with me to uncover the richer layers of what transformational coaching really looks like in practice.✨
