Charline works co-operatively with all organizational levels in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, directing her efforts primarily to employer-employee relationships in order to develop better knowledge and understanding for improved individual and organizational effectiveness. She believes that a defining condition of being human is the understanding of the meaning of our experience and that transformational learning, at the core of the coaching process, is about change, dramatic, fundamental change in the way we see ourselves and the world in which we live.  The coach fosters a learning environment of trust and care, in which the client and the coach have a sensitive relationship with each other, built through reflective dialogue. They share the responsibility for establishing a learning atmosphere, in which transformative learning can occur.
