We mentor world-class coaches. Join the Ivy League in Coach Education. Become an ICF-accredited coach ➡Why Coach Academy? Connection is a skill.

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. 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

From Solo Impact to Collective Change: The Power of Team and Group Coaching

There is a common misconception in the coaching world: that if you’ve mastered solo coaching, you can simply "do it at scale" for a group. But team and group coaching is not just one-to-one coaching with a larger audience. It is a completely different discipline.

Multiply Your Impact (and Your Revenue)
If you are looking to create impact in bigger spaces and significantly increase your revenue, you have to move beyond the solo model. Team and group coaching is the fastest-growing specialization in the industry because it allows you to shift an entire room at once.

The Mastery of Facilitation
Mastering this specialization requires becoming a skilled facilitator who can:
• Hold space for many voices simultaneously.
• Navigate and mediate tension without shutting it down.
• Trust the collective wisdom in the room to drive results.

The Coach Academy Certification Program
Our Team and Group Coaching Certification was developed as a Harvard Capstone project and is deeply rooted in ICF Team Coaching Competencies. This program moves beyond theory, providing the frameworks and modalities needed to step into any organizational setting with confidence.

Whether you are looking to expand your toolkit or open new professional and financial doors, this intensive program is designed to help you stretch your comfort zone and reach a new level of mastery.

Free Coach Academy Phone Wallpapers

Your phone is your most frequent interruption. Let's change that.

At Coach Academy, we teach that the most powerful tool a coach has is their own presence. But in a world of constant notifications, staying centered takes practice. We’ve designed a series of exclusive mobile wallpapers for our students and community to turn every "check" of your phone into a moment of professional reflection.

Some of our favourite Coach Academy phone wallpapers remind us of these lessons:
• Give the gift of silence: A reminder that the best coaching happens in the space between words.
• Success is not a destination: For the days when the "hustle" feels louder than the "growth."
• Pause & Linger: To help you stay with the difficult questions.

Big news! Coach Academy Founder and CEO Nathalie Blais is official a speaker at TedX Foggy Bottom. Follow along for more details as Nathalie makes her way to the TedX stage.

Read more from TedX:

Nathalie Blais is the Founder and CEO of Coach Academy and an ICF Master Certified Coach whose work focuses on how people think, connect, and lead. Her central idea is both simple and disruptive: connection is a skill that must be taught in schools. At a time when communication is increasingly reactive and outsourced to technology, she challenges people to make connection a priority instead of an assumption.

Nathalie holds a Master’s degree in Psychology from Harvard and has logged more than 50,000 combined hours in coaching, mentoring, facilitation, learning design, research, and curriculum development. She is the architect of multiple ICF-accredited coach education programs and has trained thousands of leaders and coaches worldwide. A contributor to Forbes Coaches Council, her research explores fear, motivation, grief, compassion, and connection. Her forthcoming 2027 book examines why human-centred connection is becoming a critical skill in an increasingly automated world.

New Podcast | AI, Abundance and the Future of Connection: Staying Human in a Digital World with Christa Hill "Human-First AI Integrator and Educator”

In this episode of Coach Academy’s podcast Connection Experiment, Founder Nathalie Blais sits down with Christa Hill to explore how we stay human amid rapid technological change.

Christa, an expert in human-first AI integration and educator for coaches and leaders, shares how curiosity, embodied practice, and clear boundaries help people use AI to expand presence, creativity, and abundance—not replace it. She explains practical habits for preserving empathy and deep rapport in digital and hybrid spaces, how reframing tech as a relationship tool shifts culture, and concrete exercises coaches can use to strengthen connection with clients and communities.

Join Nathalie and Christa as they invite wonder, test connection skills for the AI era, and demonstrate how intentional connection—amplified (not diminished) by technology—transforms coaching, community, and everyday life.

We believe coaching is a connection skill — practiced on purpose, it changes everything.
