Turning Points CEO Mike Ballard announced a strategic partnership with New Agreements Coach Training and Leadership Institute (NACTLI) to provide Turning Points Navigator ™ online assessment technology to NACTLI coaches and students participating in its 6-Month Coach Coaching with Intent Certification Program.

Coaches come from a variety of perspectives. There are life coaches, career coaches, transition coaches and life planning coaches.

National organizations such as Coachville, the International Coach Federation (ICF) and the Coach Training Institute (CTI) are churning out newly certified coaches by the month, providing online resources such as teleclasses and webinars to serve this growing sector of independent service providers.
