Transformational Coaching
The Transformational Classroom
The Transformational Classroom offers specific topics of study, approached from one of two vantages.
Vantage 1
Dialogue-True
community virtual group
Two Dialogue-True Community meetings are scheduled per month. Unless publicized otherwise, meetings are 90 minutes in length. Each meeting has one or two facilitators but all are invited to contribute to the dialogues and construction of new perspectives, models, or courses for study.
The structure for these dialogue/work sessions is simple.
-
All are welcome to join in the dialogues.
-
Respect and genuine authenticity are expected to permeate all communications.
-
No “selling” or “converting” are allowed. Psycho-social-spiritual space is made available so that all can voice their truths and know they will be heard and responded to with care, respect, responsibility, and truth telling.
-
Topics for each session are pre-set, as the last step of the previous meeting, to allow participants time for contemplation and preparation for a lively dialogue, with the potential for development of action plans and follow-up initiatives and/or projects.
-
Each session ends with a “To be continued” framework. It is not at all unusual for new courses of study or group initiatives to emerge from the sessions.
Vantage 2
Short Courses
with objectives, selected texts, and active learning exercises
The Fire Within:
Understanding and Honoring Anger
Anger is not a problem to be managed—it is a signal to be understood. In this transformational course we move beyond the outdated notion of controlling or suppressing anger and instead explore its deeper purpose. Anger arises when something of profound value is threatened, making it a gateway to self-awareness, integrity and empowered action.
Through psychological insight, spiritual wisdom, and experiential exercises, you will learn to listen to your anger, decode its messages and channel its energy into clarity, courage, and meaningful change. Rather than fearing anger, you will cultivate a respectful relationship with it—one that honors your capacity for authentic expression and connection.
In this course you will:
-
Reframe anger as a source of wisdom rather than a problem to be fixed.
-
Identify the core values and needs that are under personal anger.
-
Differentiate between reactive rage and conscious, constructive anger.
-
Explore mindfulness-based practices for engaging with anger in a healthy way.
-
Cultivate emotional resilience by integrating anger with compassion and self-awareness.
This course is not anger management. This is anger transformation. Are you ready to listen to what your anger is trying to tell you?
Embracing Loss and Grief:
A Transformative Journey Through the Looking Glass
An active, contemplative course that invites you to explore and transform your experience with grief. This course is designed to guide you through the complexities of loss.
Through experiential exercises you will:
-
Gain tools to navigate your emotions.
-
Reframe your perspective on your loss and grief.
-
Find hope in the midst of sorrow.
This course emphasizes personal growth and resilience, providing you with an opportunity to share, learn and heal. Join us in turning pain into a pathway for renewal and growth.

Unleash the Power of Transitions
We explore the transformative power of conscious transitioning. The following expectations set the stage for the series.
-
Leaders who are experienced in creating spaces for interpersonal and intrapersonal transformational learning.
-
Exercises that raise awareness of the unseen obvious that is occurring without consciousness, but that beg to be heard or spoken.
-
A climate of trusting presence, wherein the group is transformed into a caring community of learners who share a space of extraordinary respect and openness to see through new eyes and to speak with strong, clear voices.
-
Discussions and active learning exercises that connect the community of learners with both the macro and micro versions of their unique stories of change and then enable them to create both structures and processes for continuing on a path of transitioning and transforming their lives.
-
A community of practice that holds each other with love as they courageously process sufferings, lettings go, restoration, and transformation.
