Nathalie Blais is a Master Certified Coach (MCC) and the Co-Founder of the Canada Coach Academy. She was the facilitator for the Personal and Business Performance Coaching program which I have recently completed. In this episode, we chat about what drew her towards the coaching profession, why she started the Canada Coach Academy, and how coaching helps make meaningful connections. Coaching has impacted people across the age range, including a pilot program she ran for Grade 5 and 6 students to executives in large corporations that are wanting to up their game.
