You’ve been promoted or trusted with leading others, but no one ever taught you how to actually lead people.

You’ve read the books. Sat through the trainings. Tried to give better feedback. Still, you’re stuck in meetings that go nowhere, navigating team tension, and wondering why it’s so hard to get people to really engage.

The truth? Leadership today requires more than strategy and execution. It demands emotional intelligence, presence, and the ability to bring out the best in others.

That’s what the ability to coach gives you – and most managers never get that training.

Introducing:

Impact-Ready Leadership Coaching

Impact-Ready Leadership Coaching is a short, powerful course that gives you practical coaching skills to lead with clarity, empathy, and confidence, without overwhelming your calendar or requiring certification.

You’ll learn exactly how to listen differently, ask better questions, build trust, and create more meaningful, results-driven conversations with your team.

You’ll walk away with tools you can apply immediately in your next team meeting, 1:1, feedback session, or performance review – even if coaching feels unfamiliar or you’re not sure you’re doing it right yet.

This course is ideal for:

$

New managers stepping into leadership

$

Team leads and HR professionals shaping culture

$

Experienced leaders who want a more empowering approach

$

Coaches-in-training looking for a strong practical foundation

$

High-potential talent preparing for promotion

$

Individual contributors who want to lead through influence

$

Executives looking to deepen trust and presence

$

Change agents working to create more human-centered workplaces

Here’s What They’re Saying…

 Coaching has reminded me that every team member is whole and capable in themselves. As a leader, I always try to recognize and foster the unique strengths and talents that each individual has, and allow them to have the power to make decisions. I would recommend the Coaching Academy for Leaders to anyone seeking to enhance their self-awareness and leadership skills.

I reviewed a lot of coaching organizations for educational purposes and I was fortunate to come across Corry’s profile and I had a great conversation with her. It really met my desires to get a taste of someone who had international experience in coaching and training coaches globally, and that was very important to me.

It’s been a wonderful experience and I really appreciate Corry’s attention to detail and the depth at which she takes her students. It’s been a wonderful ride for me and I’m very appreciative!

 Corry’s courses have enhanced my coaching skills incredibly and I’ve been able to apply them at my work as an internal coach for the United Nations.

I thank Corry for her support and the amazing six months that I spent with her. What I really appreciate is also her dedication and the support that she provides to all of us after we finish the coaching. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Here’s What They’re Saying…

 My experience in learning from Corry and her team at the Coaching Academy for Leaders is changing my practice as a leader in education. I have seen my team’s practice change by way of the conversations we are having. Using a coach’s mindset, I have moved away from giving advice, and judgment. I have shifted to a belief in my team’s ability to face their challenges because they are whole and complete.

Aidan De Jean

Principal, St. George's School of Montreal

Corry’s passion, dedication, and generosity shine through her coaching and commitment in building The Coaching Academy for Leaders.  With her lived experience, she has created a much-needed dynamic and comprehensive resource and place of belonging for aspiring and established coaches in Canada and beyond.

Tina Fideski

OrKidstra Co-Founder, Executive & Artistic Director

 Authenticity and integrity are two of my core values. Just because I was a successful executive did not guarantee that I would be a successful coach. It took the experiential education and environment that Corry so expertly created to mold me into the coach I am today. 

For that, I want to thank Corry for her steadfast dedication to ethical coaching. She instills in us a commitment to uphold the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
