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.
Highlights & Takeaways
- How coaching is different from other helping professions like therapy, consulting, or mentoring
- Why Nathalie and her co-founder Andrew are driven by the mission to multiply the impact of coaching in the world
- Making two millimeter shifts in the way you engage with others, such as an extra pause before you speak, or changing from an close-ended to open-ended question
- Adopting a coaching mindset by believing that others are doing their best, not putting them in a box, and utilizing the superpower of curiosity
- How a 10-minute conversation where you show curiosity and empathy to the other person can have more of an impact than you think
