“The program was great; material was at our fingertips at anytime. The website was updated constantly. I still use the material and I still refer to your website. I have used the ‘Life Skill Coaching’ skills on my staff...I would recommend that anyone that is a manager of a facility to take a ‘Life Skill Coaching’ program;”
On the Instructor:
“…She brought forth much knowledge to the group and was very easy to get along with. She would answer all of our questions and if she did not know the answer she would find out. I really enjoyed listening and participating in the group discussions; the instructor made the course very non-threatening. I would recommend her as a instructor any day!”

“Dear Coach MacKenzie,
I want to personally thank you for creating the, “Open Your Own Academy” Program:-) I don’t even know where to begin, there’s so much that I like about the program. All the materials and support that you get from the program by far outweighs the cost of the program tremendously. I appreciate the entire layout. The step by step process is so easy to follow. The best part is that you cover ALL areas of becoming a Life Coach to open up your own practice AND becoming a Coach Trainer to open up your own Academy. CANA, Inc. is definetly a one stop shop so to speak for the unexperienced and the experienced professional Life Coaches/Trainers. I am so grateful for all of your support. You are always available when needed at any given moment by phone, email, etc. and always replied back within minutes. Your materials have blessed my life and I know that my clients and students will be successful because you are a great mentor that has trained me from the beginning and being your student has equipped me for success. God is using you in a mighty way!”

I’ve participated in other coaching programs in the past and this is top notch. The amount of information that CANA makes available to its students is unbelieveable. No matter what I need – you already have it on the site. I don’t believe I will ever run out of resources! Thank you for putting a program in place that makes the process easy for just about anyone.”

“Hi Mackenzie…The academy has been an amazing find in my life… one of the many instances of “LOA” in practice! I needed an educational facility that enabled me at MY pace while I worked through the coaching program, and you were incredible! As my coach mentor, you always empowered me, yet still allowed me to progress as I could (being that I was working full time at that time). Now, the online OYOA training with Ali is quick paced, informative and is keeping me on my toes! I appreciate all that CANA has offered and supplied for me! Thanks for being there ladies! You are awsome!”

Ally is a very insightful and helpful instructor, you have provided a ton of resources, and I love that everything is laid out in a step by step format. It is easy to follow and takes all the mystery out of the process. I know all of the business laws vary from province to province, but would you be able to provide us with some easy to follow ‘Canadian’ advice. Have a terrifc day!”

“The CANA coach training program is ideal for a busy person like me. The one-day-a-week classes fit right into my schedule. The training materials were overloaded with information and made the learning process easy. An additional benefit was the bonus materials. They have been abundant supply. ”
Professional Coach Erika Jackson
“BRAVO to Coach Mackenzie and the entire staff at The Coaching Academy of North America. As a very busy career changer, flexibility in scheduling and the ability to move through the curriculum at my own discretion were at the top of my list for things I expected in a program. The support provided by your team and the thorough manner in which the self study lessons and assignments are handled matched my needs perfectly. As a result I am not only prepared but proud to call myself, Coach Steve.”
Professional Coach Steve Farmer

“Thank you Ally! I am so excited. I am totally grateful for your words of wisdom, advice and willingness to share.”
Kimberly C. Pettiford Life Coach program.
“So glad to share this beautiful class with Ally and all of you! I’m very happy to be here. Ally, you really vibrate high, thank you for that!”
Lety Garcia
“Taking the live class…is better than the self study because she [instructor] gives us immediate opportunities to discuss the material. She is very knowledgeable about the material and easily shares her own experiences. This gives me a real sense of her expertise with the material. Ally consistantly uses excellent examples to clarify the information which helps us better apply the material to our own coaching experience. My favorite tool so far is the pregnant pause. She taught me not to fear silence over the phone because it gives the coachee time to process what is being discussed. Ally is always positive, encouraging, and very professional.
