After 12 years teaching French (and two daughters), I moved into academic and post-secondary advising roles, completing a Diploma in Education in Guidance Studies. I was the Director of University Counselling and Student Support Services in British Columbia independent schools before making the leap to new professional adventures, first to post-secondary student services and now to corporate training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why use me as a coach?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my coaching practice, I have a natural affinity for those in education\/training and career transitions, and I am equally adept at coaching in other sectors. My coach training (Royal Roads University) was in Executive Coaching and I am now an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with <a href=\"https:\/\/coachfederation.org\/icf-credential\">International Coach Federation<\/a>. I am also certified in both the Strong Interest Inventory and MBTI assessment tools, and use these tools with clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, I completed an 8 month Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Course for Coaches, offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/thirdwayleadership.com\/programs\/embracing-anti-racism-and-anti-oppression-for-coaches\/\">Third Way Leadership<\/a>. A strong ally, I am committed to making the world a better place for us all, one conversation at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mentor-coaching.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-196\" width=\"162\" height=\"162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mentor-coaching.png 600w, https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mentor-coaching-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mentor-coaching-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mentor-coaching-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/associate-certified-coach-acc-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195\" width=\"185\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/associate-certified-coach-acc-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/associate-certified-coach-acc-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/associate-certified-coach-acc-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/associate-certified-coach-acc.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a Bachelor and Master of Arts in French Literature and started teaching in 1996.
