CEO of Canada Coach Academy
Why Coach Academy
Coach Academy doesn’t just teach you how to coach. You will learn the language of connection, influence and inclusion. The kind of skill that changes how you lead a team, raise a family, navigate conflict, and show up in every conversation that matters.
Connection is a skill. And right now, it’s the most underdeveloped skill in leadership, education, and life.
That’s the idea Coach Academy was built on.
Founded in 2016 by Nathalie Blais, CEO and Head of Training. Nathalie is an ICF Master Certified Coach, earned an MA in Psychology from Harvard University, is a TEDx speaker, and the host of the Connection Experiment Podcast.
In a world that’s becoming more automated and more reactive by the day, Nathalie’s work focuses on the thing AI can’t replace: the ability to create the conditions for real insight, real responsibility, and real growth in another person.
That’s what coaching is. And it’s what you’ll learn here.
What Makes Us Different From Every Other Program?
50,000+ hours of expertise, distilled into your training.
Nathalie has spent decades in facilitation, learning design, research, and education development. She personally architected every program at Coach Academy. You’re not learning from a curriculum someone licensed. You’re learning from the person who built it.
Change starts from day one.
No passive learning. Every class is live, interactive, and experiential because coaching is a practice, not a theory. You build confidence by doing the work, not watching someone else do it.
A community no other school can match.
Over 4,000 graduates. World-class facilitators and students from every corner of the globe. We curate 10 to 15 specialized live workshops every single month, embedded in community to add to your program.
Grounded in research, not trends.
Nathalie’s work explores fear, motivation, grief, compassion, and connection. The deep psychology behind why people change. Her forthcoming 2027 book examines why human-centred connection is becoming the critical skill of our time. Everything you learn here is built on that foundation.
ICF-accredited at every level.
ACC, PCC, MCC and a series of intensive programs offering CCEs. Coach Academy is setting the global gold standard in coaching credentials.
Coaching is not about fixing people. It’s about creating the conditions for them to see what they couldn’t see before.
That changes everything, starting with you.
