Hélène Thériault is a wonderful Coach and presenter! Her program Dive into a Coach Approach™ is a "Ten!!!" Honestly---Two thumbs up! It was rich with content, well-paced and very comprehensive. I was so impressed with how Hélène was able to effectively reformat the essence of most 6-12 month long (and expensive) coaching trainings into a short CEU course. It was clear, impactful and practical. Hélène's teaching techniques during the live portion of the program were also very fun and engaging! Every OT (and every healthcare practitioner) needs to learn this material!

To any healthcare provider looking to avoid burnout, her coaching micro-credentialing training is for you! Hélène directs you to see the individual as a whole person and trust in their inner resources to solve any problem. I have implemented this into my 15-minute appointments with great results, both for my patients, and more importantly myself. Give the coach approach a try and see for yourself some major shifts in your energy!”

The Dive Into a Coach Approach™ certification training is a MUST for any healthcare professional! I've been able to apply the learning immediately not only in my role as a pediatric occupational therapist but also in my leadership role.

Learning the coach approach was so much more than I thought it would be. It’s humbling, client-centered and empowering. I can’t wait to see the results in my practice as I use it with both my clients parents and the children as well. The Dive Into a Coach Approach™ was such a valuable and inspiring course for me and it has already changed my practice for the better.

Highly recommend this micro-credentialing training for any healthcare professional as an entry into the Coach Approach for your everyday practice.

The training was excellent! Hélène truly embodied adult learning principles and the materials and analogies are well done. Lots of variety between conversation, break-out, group discussion during the live-event and the online module was engaging and easy to follow along. I highly recommend this program and her style, approach, and content.

One word that encapsulates this training is confidence. Although the material seems easy and straightforward, the course really showed how to apply it and how it fits into previous principals I've learned like CBT and has given me the confidence on how I can support clients with a coaching hat.

After completing this training, I no longer view it as a training. This transformative course is so much more than a ‘training’. It is about a way of life…a way of being…a way you can interact with the world. It’s made a difference in my whole life, not just my physio practice where it’s impacting my clients / patient’s satisfaction. It has changed me as a human and how I interact with the world with my family, my children, my husband.

Hélène est une formatrice extraordinaire. J’apprécie son approche de l’enseignement. Dans son cours introductif pour entraîneurs, nous avons eu accès aux modules en ligne quelques semaines avant notre séance d’apprentissage en direct sur Zoom. Cela m’a permis de parcourir tout le matériel et de bien le comprendre avant la séance. Elle a également délégué les tâches techniques à son assistant, ce qui lui a permis de rester concentré en tant qu’instructeur. Je suis reconnaissant d’avoir rencontré Hélène et d’avoir accès à sa plateforme Function First Coaching Inc. De plus, j’apprécie son soutien dans ma croissance en tant que coach bilingue grâce à son contenu. J’ai hâte d’intégrer ses principes de coaching à mon programme de coaching sur le changement de comportement afin de mieux servir mes clients. Je recommanderais certainement la plateforme d’Hélène aux entrepreneurs comme moi dans le domaine de la santé et du bien-être.

This was a very interactive course that has helped me to understand and start to apply coaching skills in my current practice as an OT in schools. The different methods of teaching made this a very effective course to learn all these new concepts.  One if the best online.

Hélène is a truly authentic and engaging speaker. She connects with her audience through the power of story and is willing to be vulnerable and share personal stories that will help her audience pursue their goals. She uses her coaching style to inspire audience members to take action.

Since completed the certification program, I've successfully landed a leadership position and clinical position that I'm not sure I would have had the confidence and skillset to do before this training, I'm so grateful!

An interactive course that allows participants to put 'coach approach' theory into practice right away! Hélène's course is relevant to healthcare professionals working in diverse practice areas. The framework can be applied quickly to narrow down client goals which is useful when time is limited. I will use the coaching skills learned in this course to support patient-centred care.

The Coach Approach training has provided me with easy-to-implement, powerful tools that I can use in my practice with both parents and some children. It has shifted my perspective to be more attuned to the important role of parents and children as their own best expert, and has honed both my listening and reflection skills to more effectively collaborate to create effective solutions.

I wish I had taken Hélène’s “Coach Approach” workshop years ago!! Hélène is very knowledgeable and passionate about the coach approach, and also about empowering Clinicians to improve their practice and expand their horizons!

Knowing I had my 1:1 sessions with Hélène every 2-weeks really helped me structure my week more effectively knowing I could save my concerns / challenges I had for that time. It has helped me save rehab planning time with my clients, move them forward faster, increase my clinical confidence and improve work-life balance. I also had the opportunity to take her first level of coaching training and can now see how she used the framework with me which has helped me use it with my clients.

Hélène is clearly very mindful of keeping the attendees' needs first and foremost and ensures that audiences will walk away with terrific support, tips and solutions to their business and career growth issues. Her style and energy are terrifically engaging and inviting as well. I highly recommend Hélène for your next speaking or training event!

Hélène provides stellar material. She delivers and shares her knowledge while creating a safe, cooperative learning environment. She brings her deep practical experience into all sessions, and includes the stories of participants in a meaningful way to enhance learning for all. I firmly endorse Hélène Theriault's skills and work!

This training gave me the confidence and tools to further develop my coaching skills, incorporate a new program in my workplace and motivated me to go for my ICF Credentials. Hélène made the learning fun and interactive!

Hélène provided some 1-1 coaching for members of our team. She was always professional, on budget and added great insight, coaching and guidance. She communicated well with each member of the team while always keeping a keen eye on the desired objective . Thank you so much for all of your efforts in helping people grow and develop.

Nine months following this training, I’ve noticed time and time again, each day, that an intentional practice of a coach approach is not only valuable in a therapist-patient relationship, but it is profoundly beneficial in a team of coworkers.

Helene’s Dive into a Coach Approach 1.0 course is a brilliant tool for a new graduate’s tool box. The coach approach sets the stage making the client their own driver in their health, increasing my ability to provide client-centered care. Overall, every client’s needs are unique and the coach approach is a tool that I can use to uncover these unique needs without burning myself out, which will increase the longevity of my career!

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Hèléne at the AOTA conference. Her presentation was not only informative, her enthusiasm, knowledge and expertise on the subject made the hour fly by.

After Hélène's training, I have experienced effective results in my OT practice, leader role as a CEO and even with my kids. Highly recommended for any healthcare professional!

This has been a valuable training in expanding my toolkit and reinforcing techniques that I am familiar with but not always used in practice. This will decrease my frustration with patients and provide them with better outcomes.

Engaging in Hélène’s training will help you foster SUSTAINABLE change and not dependence. It has the power to unlock the ability for YOU to unlock your clients' abilities. I have been able to apply the coaching principles to both my clinical and leadership role.

Hélène was such an efficient facilitator! We did the Team Building workshop. We couldn’t believe how much material we learned and have been integrating what we learned into our workplace culture. The team cohesion has improved and we were so glad to have made space in our schedules to make this training happen, it was well worth the time and investment. We can’t recommend it enough!

This has gone such a long way to elevate the impact of both my sessions with client and the mentorship that I offer to clinicians. A 10 out of 10!

The results from this course were incredible and immediately made a difference with my clients. This was mainly due to Helene's exceptional skills at presenting and training. Her media was engaging, the activities were challenging but meaningful, and I made unique connections with the other attendees. I am so glad I took the opportunity to begin my coaching through this course!!

Hélène coached several of my clinicians 1:1. It not only supported them in saving rehab planning time on their complex files but it also increased their confidence in their clinical skills since she never told them what to do but helped them find the answers for themselves; sharing her experience and expertise when they were stuck. It saved me time also and her input towards their yearly performance evaluations was valuable to help with their professional growth.

This training has been great! The repetition of the components of the approach has been really helpful. I enjoyed diving in and trying things on a live person with a live issue.

This has been a wonderful course! I learned communication skills and practical examples that I can start to implement right away in practice.

This was a great course that incorporated so many learning strategies. This made it feel very engaging and easy to interact with.  I feel like I have some beginning skills/strategies that I can practice with. I thought this was one of the best online learning experiences
