Communication Coach
The ReferEASE course was created by Nathalie Kleinschmit, an award-winning trainer and coach. Now based in Winnipeg, MB, Nathalie has personally trained over 20 000 people from over 100 countries in effective communication, intercultural relations, teamwork, and leading change.
ReferEASE was created as a response to the verbal abuse she witnessed sports officials receiving when her own children were in league sports. Nathalie had designed and delivered a comprehensive, worldwide training and culture change program for public transit systems that was recognized for its impact with awards in 5 countries. Working closely with Sport Manitoba, she adapted the contents to meet the needs of sports officials and piloted the first ReferEase in-person clinics in 2011.
Today, Sport Manitoba has the exclusive licence for the ReferEASE course in the province, for both the online module and for facilitated in-person clinics.
