Best Corporate Coach in Canada<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

CEO Business Coaching Program<\/h4>\r\nCorporate coaching<\/span><\/a> is nothing new. What is new is the approach some corporate coaches are taking to helping leaders and businesses thrive in a constantly changing global landscape. We recently caught up with Melissa Dawn, a Montreal-based corporate coach who\u2019s doing things in a more conscious way.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAs founder of the coaching service, <\/span>CEO of Your Life<\/span><\/a>, Melissa started her coaching journey as a graduate of the Coaches Training Institute, and has since grown her business and expertise by earning certifications in Team Performance Coaching, Leadership Coaching, and Conscious Business Coaching. She also holds a Bachelor of Commerce and, prior to coaching, spent over two decades working her way up the corporate ladder to become VP of Marketing and Talent Management.<\/span>\r\n\r\n

What is Unique About CEO of Your Life?<\/b><\/h2>\r\nLed by Melissa, CEO of Your Life takes a holistic approach to coaching that starts within.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nAlthough corporate coaching is about success at work, Melissa understands that our lives are not meant to be siloed into \u201cpersonal\u201d and \u201cprofessional\u201d. No matter how hard we may try to keep things separate, what\u2019s happening in one area will spill over into other areas.<\/span>\r\n\r\nShe uses the example of getting caught in traffic on the way to work, which is a scenario many of us are familiar with. If we feel triggered by a traffic jam, we may take that trigger into the office once we arrive. We maybe feel frustrated or agitated, maybe we\u2019re even short tempered. That traffic had nothing to do with our jobs, but it is now impacting our jobs.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBut, as Melissa points out, the reverse is true as well. When we do the work to create peace and purpose in one area of life, that too will start to spill into other areas. A solid <\/span>morning routine<\/span><\/a> that includes time for inner reflection, for example, can set us on a path for success before anything else can influence our state of mind.<\/span>\r\n\r\nFor this reason, Melissa approaches corporate coaching from a whole-life (i.e. holistic) perspective, guiding people to take an honest look at all aspects of their lives and to get in touch with their most authentic, core selves, which gives them clarity into what will genuinely work for them. From there, she guides people to identify the areas of their lives that need to shift, and to begin taking steps to align their lives with the strengths, values, passions and purpose that drive them from within, and to bring their highest selves forward, both personally and professionally.<\/span>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n

How Does This Approach Benefit Businesses?<\/b><\/h3>\r\nAs Melissa says, \u201cTo master leadership of others, you first have to master leadership of yourself.\u201d The most successful organizations have strong leadership; people who are able to <\/span>positively influence<\/span><\/a> the people they lead, and drive engagement by drawing out people\u2019s natural strengths, then helping them to align those strengths with corporate objectives. Being able to do that demands the type of person who is very much at ease with themselves, confident in their own values, and able to approach situations from a place of curiosity, compassion and co-creativity.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMelissa believes that these skills are not innate, but can be learned. In her years of coaching, she has put that belief to the test by working with individuals and teams from small businesses, all the way up to Fortune 500s and Fortune 100s.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u201cWhat I see consistently is that when people truly connect within, do the work to really love and care for themselves, it comes out in their leadership in a powerful way. They become more open to new perspectives, capable of having difficult conversations with empathy, start leading by example, and the people around them start to really shine as well. It\u2019s an amazing domino effect,\u201d says Melissa.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMelissa has found that when companies take this inside-out approach to developing leadership<\/a>, organizations tend to experience increases in:<\/strong>\r\n
