A Decade of Connection
Coach Academy Summit · 10th Anniversary · 1 King West
"The most important investment you can ever make is in yourself."
Warren Buffett
The best investment
you will ever make
is in yourself.
Warren Buffett said it plainly. But coaches know something deeper — they know what it costs to not invest in yourself. They have seen the hesitation, the plateau, the moment a client realises they have been the one holding the door closed.
Ten years ago, Coach Academy was founded on one belief: the most resourceful thing a person can do is to continue learning, growing, developing and expanding. That belief has now trained over 4,000 coaches who are changing conversations — and lives — across the world.
Since 2017
Coaching doesn't give people answers. It gives them possibilities.
When you become a coach, you are not collecting a credential. You are making a statement. You are committing to a journey of continuous development. And the results is increased resilience, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence.
In a world that changes faster than we can plan for, the only certainty is who you are as a person, and who you surround yourself with. Community is your compass– people who believe what you believe.
"Ten years. One room. The people who chose to invest in themselves — and changed the world because of it."
Nathalie, Founder
This is not a conference.
It is a gathering.
February 1, 2027. One hundred and twenty people. One building in the heart of Toronto. This is an intimate, curated, one-day experience designed around a single north star: genuine human connection.
Add to your tool box. Connect with your peers. Broaden your knowledge base, network and connections. You will enter eager, and leave changed. Enriched with opportunities to elevate your coaching practice, and widen your reach, this summit is all about insights, ideas, and progress through connection.
"This summit is proof that on the other side of coaching is, connection."
— Nathalie, Founder & CEO, Coach Academy
Every moment,
designed with intention.
The day is structured around presence. Every session has been shaped with the same intention that has guided Coach Academy for ten years.
All proceeds from this silent auction will be donated to Up with Women.
*Times and schedule are subject to change.
You will feel
something shift.
Every detail has been considered. This is a gathering designed to be felt, not just attended.
A limited-edition, linen-bound journal waiting on your chair when you arrive. Navy cover, gold foil title, cream pages. Inside: a personal letter from Nathalie, and journal prompts that belong to you from that moment forward.
Five coaches. Ten minutes each. Standing in the round, addressing a room of peers — the honest distillation of what they have learned. Speakers who take the stage go home with a full speaker press pack worth $2,500, free of charge.
A ticket and a completed application are required to be considered.
Round tables. Personal introductions by the team. Question cards and connection games woven through the day. Every physical detail has been chosen to dissolve the distance between strangers. Connection is not a side effect of this day — it is the programme.
A sealed cream envelope, hand-addressed by the team before the event. Inside is a personal note from Nathalie and a meaningful offer. Do not open until you are home.
T-shirts, hoodies, caps, and more. Giveaways and a merch store on-site — wear Coach Academy home, and keep the day with you.
Bid on sponsored gifts and special pieces for our community, while the room fills with the energy of everything that just happened. Every dollar goes to support the good work of Up With Women.
Choose the conversation
that calls to you.
Three intimate Growth Workshops run simultaneously. Groups of 20–30. One theme. One facilitator. Choose one.
The business of coaching — designing a practice that serves your life and your mission. We move beyond the "hustle" to explore the mechanics of sustainability, pricing with integrity, and the courage to build on your own terms. Practical, provocative, and rooted in what actually works.
What you will take away:
- — A structural blueprint for a business model that prevents burnout.
- — Clarity on the "Value-to-Price" equation to confidently own your rates.
- — Strategies to align your daily operations with your long-term personal mission.
What happens inside you when you sit across from a client in pain? This Growth Workshop explores the emotional landscape of the coach — the moments we are tested, the shadows we face, and the radical self-care required to keep showing up whole.
What you will take away:
- — Tools for "emotional composting" — processing client energy so you don't carry it home.
- — Deepened self-awareness regarding your own triggers and countertransference.
- — A personalized ritual or practice for returning to center between high-stakes sessions.
The art of being seen without losing your soul. This Growth Workshop dives into the alchemy of authentic storytelling — how to translate your deep "why" into a magnetic presence that attracts the right clients and builds a movement rather than just a mailing list.
What you will take away:
- — The ability to articulate your "Impossible Vision" in a way that resonates with ideal clients.
- — A shift from "selling" to "inviting," using storytelling as your primary marketing tool.
- — Frameworks for creating content that feels like an extension of your coaching, not a chore.
