Why work with a transition coach?

Transition is a paradox: going through a transition can be very difficult. Yet it is the only path to true growth and development.

People need objective support through transitions...

Events happen to us at particular points in time in our lives, but in response we cannot change ourselves exactly when or as quickly as the event occurs. We need time – before, during and after the event. We need to reflect, we need to assess, we need a way to let go of the old and embrace the new. We need to go through a process.

In short, we transition.

Sometimes a change in our lives is very much wished for or long anticipated: the birth of a child, a promotion or new career, a move to another country perhaps. Other times change comes our way at a time when we least expect or desire it: loss of a job, the departure of a dear friend, the death of a loved one, or even a seemingly insignificant change in routine.

But regardless of whether you seek the change or the change has found you, you will go through a period of transition. How you navigate through that phase is crucial to your landing on your feet on the other side of it.

Working with a coach has been proven to be hugely beneficial to this process. A transition coach offers perspective and insights. He or she can help you see yourself and your situation objectively and thus work with you to find and navigate your best path through the change. And beyond that, a good transition coach comes equipped with a firm grasp of the theory of human transition management as well as the models and tools of the discipline to help ensure your success.
