You’re already a coach. You help people.

But you know there’s another level.

Deeper client transformations. The kind of changes that create even more powerful testimonials than you’ve already gotten and more referrals than you’re used to. The kind of results that naturally grow your practice.

What would it take to get there?

A technique that produces deep, lasting change—not just for your clients, but for you first. Because when you get good at producing your own transformation, you dramatically improve your ability to transform your clients.

That’s what the root cause approach to change can give you. Let me explain how it works.

A doctor.

A mechanic.

A plumber.

At first, it seems like they have little in common.

The doctor works on the body. The mechanic works on your car. The plumber works on your… well… plumbing.

But there is one thing they have in common: all three of these professions diagnose a problem before they prescribe a solution.

A doctor diagnoses an illness before prescribing treatment. A mechanic finds out what’s wrong with a car before fixing it. A plumber discovers which pipe is blocked before unclogging it.

Yet when human beings (you and I) try to free ourselves from patterns of behavior that don’t work, we rarely deploy this root cause approach. Instead, we often grasp at whatever solutions are at hand.

We might try setting yet another goal or writing yet another detailed action plan. We might also try finding an accountability group, meditating, or journaling. All these things are valuable, and they all have their place. There are even times when using these strategies can help a person get unstuck.

When These Techniques Work

Sometimes these techniques do work. But only when they actually address the root cause of the issue.

For example, if you’re not taking action because you’re unclear on why that action matters, then journaling about your why can give you clarity. If the only thing stopping you from achieving a goal is lack of skills, then getting those skills will ensure your success.

But when you know what to do and how to do it, and you still can’t seem to move forward? That’s when something else is in the way.

When we ask clients to look inside at what’s stopping them, they first find emotions like fear or anger. Or self-judgments like feeling unworthy or not good enough.

When we look even deeper, we always find the same thing—a limiting belief. Usually several such beliefs.

The beliefs are the root cause preventing the person from changing.

Why This Matters for Coaches

You want to help your clients make deeper, more lasting changes.

The kind of transformations that stick. The kind that lead to glowing testimonials and steady referrals.

But here’s what most coaches discover: The techniques they’ve learned are good, but they don’t always produce the depth of change clients are looking for. Clients make some progress, but they often plateau. Old patterns resurface. The transformation isn’t complete.

That’s because most coaching techniques work on symptoms rather than root causes.

When you learn to work at the level of beliefs—when you can help clients eliminate the root causes of their struggles—you create the kind of deep, lasting change that sets you apart.

And here’s the beautiful part: When you experience this kind of transformation in yourself first, you naturally become better at guiding your clients through it.

Getting good at producing your own transformation will dramatically improve your ability to transform your clients.

How the Root Cause Approach Works in Practice

Let me tell you about Joseph, one of our training students.

Joseph wanted to build his coaching practice, but he kept running into the same problem. He’d get on discovery calls with potential clients, and he’d coach them extensively—for free. He’d give away everything. He’d help them so much during the sales conversation that by the end, they’d gotten value and wouldn’t sign up.

He knew he shouldn’t be doing this. He’d been trained in a sales process. But no matter how many times he told himself to follow the process, he couldn’t seem to stop over-helping.

That’s because the issue wasn’t that Joseph didn’t know better. The issue was that he had a belief driving that pattern.

The belief was: “What makes me good enough is having others think well of me.”

When Joseph identified and eliminated that belief, he could follow the sales process naturally. He didn’t have to force himself to stop coaching on discovery calls. He just… didn’t feel compelled to do it anymore.

And then he started signing up clients left and right.

This is what happens when you address the root cause. You don’t have to manage the behavior or try to control yourself. Once the belief is gone, you change naturally.

What You Really Need as a Coach

Here’s what Joseph’s story shows us.

Having good coaching skills isn’t enough. Joseph had been trained in a sales process. He knew what to do. But he couldn’t follow through because a belief was in his way.

And the same principle applies to delivering deeper client results.

You need a technique that works at the level of beliefs—at the root cause.

When you can help clients eliminate the beliefs driving their struggles, you create lasting change. Not just symptom management. Not just coping strategies. Actual elimination of the root cause.

And when you experience this in yourself first—when you eliminate beliefs that have been limiting you—two things happen:

First, you know from direct experience that this approach works. You’re not just repeating what you learned in a training. You’ve lived it.

Second, you get better at guiding clients through the process. You understand it deeply. You can recognize what’s happening for them because you’ve experienced it yourself.

Getting good at producing your own transformation will dramatically improve your ability to transform your clients.

What Changes When You Eliminate Beliefs

We’ve seen this happen over and over with our clients.

In fact, we did a study with people who regularly spoke at Toastmasters but had a high level of fear when speaking in public—a fear of seven or higher on a scale of 1-10.

Those study participants who experienced the Lefkoe Method had their fear drop to 1.5. They had almost no fear.

Here’s what one participant said two years later:

“I used to feel when I was in front of people a general feeling of anxiety and fear—sweaty palms, sweaty brow. My voice would quiver, my stomach would tie up in knots. The way I feel now after doing The Lefkoe Method is I don’t feel the anxiety I did before… I just feel kind of an excitement.”

Those speakers didn’t have to psyche themselves up. They didn’t have to do relaxation exercises or positive affirmations before every speech.

The comfortable speaker within them could emerge naturally once their beliefs were eliminated.

That’s what happens for you too. And when you experience that shift in yourself, you’ll know—without a doubt—that you can guide others through the same transformation.

The Kind of Results That Grow Your Practice

Here’s what you need to understand: You’re not promising clients that they’ll have zero issues in their lives after working with you.

That would be unrealistic.

What you can promise is that you’ll help them make significant progress on the most important issues in their lives. Real, lasting progress.

And when you can deliver that kind of transformation—when clients experience deep, permanent change—your practice grows naturally.

They tell their friends. They write testimonials. They come back for more work. They refer others.

This is what happens when you work at the level of root causes rather than symptoms.

What’s Waiting for You

You’re already on the waiting list for Lefkoe Method Training 1.

When you join the training, you’ll learn the exact process that helps clients eliminate their limiting beliefs in about 30 minutes.

And you’ll get to use it on yourself first.

You’ll eliminate beliefs that have been limiting your own growth—whether that’s in building your practice, charging what you’re worth, or stepping into bigger opportunities.

And as you experience these transformations in yourself, something natural will happen.

You’ll become more effective at guiding your clients through the same process. You’ll understand it at a deeper level. You’ll be able to deliver the kind of lasting results that grow your practice naturally.

Final Thoughts

The root cause approach to change works because it addresses the actual problem—the beliefs creating the struggle—rather than just trying to manage symptoms.

When a doctor diagnoses before treating, when a mechanic finds the actual problem before fixing it, they get lasting results.

Your clients are no different.

When you help them eliminate the beliefs keeping them stuck, they change naturally. They don’t have to push themselves to be different. You solve the problem at its roots.

And when you can deliver this kind of deep, lasting transformation? Your practice grows. Your reputation grows. Your impact grows.

Not because you’re marketing more. But because you’re delivering the kind of results that people talk about.
