Fairness. Transformational coach look for the element of fairness from the perspective of the coachee within the context of the change. If there is a threat of unfairness, avoidance-response occurs... so need to minimize that threat; accentuating the perceived fairness of the change, however, may trigger an approach-response.

Certainty. If a person feels uncertain of where the change is going... they feel threatened...they will not move forward ... avoidance-response occurs.
