Content

Historically, coaching has been typically focused toward achieving
improvement with respect to a specific behavioral performance.
Generative coaching, however, involves helping people evolve at an identity level and achieve outcomes that are completely new.

Traditional coaching tends to organize around first- and second-order change, not really requiring radical shifts in consciousness or
identity. Generative coaching focuses on second- and especially
third-order (identity) transformation.

"Generative" means to create a result (in identity, systemic organization, behavioral pattern, internal consciousness, cultural or corporate creation) that has never existed before in the world. Generative coaching is working with clients to be able to realize this power.
