I have facilitated and presented to both large and small groups of students and adults in many professional settings, both in person and virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my first career in K-12 education, I moved through a number of increasingly senior roles and took on new challenges in new school environments. In 2021, I made the leap to the post-secondary world as the First Year Retention Coordinator in the <a href=\"http:\/\/indigenous.ubc.ca\/\">First Nations House of Learning at UBC<\/a> prior to moving to work for a national not-for-profit organization as a Learning Quality Specialist. In my role, I support trainees with coaching and instruction, and train technical specialists to be classroom and on-the-job instructors, through training courses, coaching, and feedback. I have first-hand experience of the complexities of working in large and small organizations, both as a leader and as a colleague, and have both led and taken part in change initiatives.\u00a0 In my coaching practice, I have a natural affinity for those in education\/training and career transition, and am equally adept at coaching in other sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to my full-time work, I take on 1-2 private clients at a time, and am a volunteer Coach for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehcn.org\">Humanitarian Coaching Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image 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=\"299\" height=\"299\" 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: 299px) 100vw, 299px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mentor-coaching-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-196\" srcset=\"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, https:\/\/alisonmccallum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/mentor-coaching.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a Associate Certified Coach with 25 years experience in education in a variety of leadership, student support, teaching, and training roles.
