Executive Coach Certification | Program Overview

Yvonne Kasine, Ph.D.

I came to Coach Academy at a time when I wanted to grow personally and professionally. I knew I wanted to learn what it takes to be a coach who will effectively help others achieve their goals. As a student with CA I learned the theories and other technical knowledge that are essential for being an effective coach. I also acquired the skills and attitude required to help my clients as a coach. The approach used by CA was one that engaged me as a student. CA uses a humanistic and empowering approach. It is a very well-designed coaching program that prepared me to help my clients. I feel confident in my role as a coach because of attending CA. I recommend CA to anyone who wants to become a coach!

Coach Academy and Nathalie, the founder, helped me to learn and embrace coaching not just as a skill or profession, but as a mindset and way of being. CA has built programs that have drive and passion not just for professional growth, but for personal growth, and for developing and improving all things related to coaching, in their curriculum and offerings. But perhaps most importantly, CA is a community... I'm proud to be a member of this growing community of business, performance, life, and wellness coaches, and am proud to have had the opportunity to learn from Nathalie as my coaching teacher and mentor.

Nathalie Giarusso, MBA, M. Ed.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Coach Academy. I am so grateful for this personal and professional transformation. CA helped me make the transition into thinking more deeply about my role as a coach and challenged me to develop new ways of coaching. The program has helped me to be more self-aware, to listen and connect more effectively, and most importantly, to trust that the leaders, I support, already have the answers and that my role is to unleash the potential for change.

The PERFORM model, designed by CA, has greatly improved my way of handling challenging situations and is an integral part of improved relationships both in my personal and professional life.

Without hesitation, I would strongly recommend Coach Academy as a robust coaching program to be considered by those that wish to bring their coaching practice to the next level.
