Transformational Coaching: Make Meaning, Make Change

Presented by Constant Hine | December 15, 2026 7PM EST

1 HOUR | LIVE ONLINE via ZOOM | INTERACTIVE

In this one-hour webinar, Constant Hine, author of Transformational Coaching for Early Childhood Educators, explores what Transformational Coaching is, why it matters, and how it works. You’ll see how transformational coaching reaches the roots of behavior—the values, beliefs, and perspectives people bring to their experiences—through the art of inquiry and a set of Universal Tools that build self-awareness and support the learning process.

We don’t respond to what happens to us. We respond to the meaning we make of it. Our values, our perspective and our mindset shape that meaning, and that meaning shapes what we do. Make meaning, make change: when the meaning shifts, behavior can shift with it.
That’s why technical assistance, and a transactional coaching approach of offering advice, suggestions, and hot tips to solve a problem, can help in the moment yet still not create change that lasts.

You’ll explore the role and mindset of a transformational coach as a change agent: someone who accompanies people from knowledge and understanding to reflective habits, learning from doing, and intentional choices, so they keep getting better at getting better. That is what makes change sticky. Bring a situation of your own to reflect on. You’ll leave with a self-coaching reflection to keep exploring with curiosity.

Teachers, therapists, social workers, and other early childhood professionals working with young children will benefit from this webinar.
