ποΈIn this episode, we chat with Nathalie Blais, the founder of Canada Coach Academy, a master certified coach (MCC), and a mom of two teens. The conversation covers everything from the power of being in service to the importance of perseverance and self-reflection. You'll hear about Nathalie's transformational journey and the lessons she's learned from her role models. And, of course, no podcast is complete without some sage advice, like teaching attitude, responsibility, and discipline to kids or holding space for people to develop their ideas fully.ποΈ
ποΈ Nathalie shares her insights on how being in service to others is the main theme that runs through Canada Coach Academy. So, what does it mean to be in service to others? According to Nathalie, being in service is about having the right attitude towards clients, teams, and all those you engage with in your organization. It means reacting positively in challenging situations, being passionate about helping others grow, and creating a culture of service within your team. ποΈ
Here are three tips on how to effectively be in service to others:
π’ Create a culture of service: Encourage your team to prioritize helping clients and colleagues whenever possible.
π’ React positively in challenging situations: As Nathalie puts it, "Itβs not what happens, itβs how you react."
π’ Help others grow: In coaching, mentoring or leadership, creating opportunities for others to learn and grow is key to being in service to them.
π¬ Quote from the Episode π¬
π "I believe that coaching can change lives. I also believe that when someone becomes a coach, the first life they change is their own because they go through a transformation in the project in the programs. Do the work on you first and then do it with others. Because if you haven't done it on yourself, how do you know what the process is? You can't support another person through it unless you've actually done it." π
