Leadership Unleashed

When Sylvie Levesque-Finn joined Vision Coaching in late 2015, she wasn’t simply beginning a second career. She was building on a lifetime of leadership. After more than three decades in New Brunswick’s public service – including senior executive roles as deputy minister, president of Service New Brunswick and other leadership positions – Sylvie could have easily stepped away from leadership altogether.

When Marilyn Orr joined Vision Coaching more than 20 years ago, coaching was still a relatively unfamiliar concept in Atlantic Canada.

Rebekah Logan had spent more than a decade in law when she realized something was slipping away. The work had become relentless – difficult files, hard situations, a toll that accumulated quietly until it wasn’t quiet anymore.

Pat McLaughlin has spent much of his life around teams. From the dressing room to the executive suite, he has been drawn to the same questions: What helps people perform at their best? How do leaders create environments where others can succeed? And what does it take for a team to achieve something meaningful together?

By Dave Veale A few years ago, I worked with a leader whose biggest challenge wasn’t strategy, talent or performance. It was time. His calendar was packed from morning until night. At one point, he was managing two separate calendars because of the different roles he held. Meetings overlapped. Every hour seemed spoken for. Like many leaders, he wasn’t lacking commitment. He was lacking space. Space to think. Space to reflect. Space to focus on what mattered most. In many coac

For more than two decades, Keiver Calp was a top performer in the automotive business – an award-winning sales professional who had earned his way into the one-per-cent clubs provincially, regionally and nationally. But something was quietly wearing him down.

When we first started working with one of our longest-standing clients about 15 years ago, vulnerability wasn't part of the leadership vocabulary. It wasn't even close.

As President and CEO of the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation (NBIF), the province’s leading startup investment foundation, Jeff was leading an organization with real stakes and serious ambitions.

In most organizations, the picture looks clear from the top. Senior leaders set direction. They define strategy. They outline priorities and paint a vision for where the organization is headed.

Many organizations invest heavily in developing senior leaders. Others focus on building skills for frontline employees. But the leaders in the middle – the ones responsible for translating strategy into action – are often left to figure things out on their own.

Resilience gets talked about like it’s something you either have or you don’t. I don’t think that’s true. In leadership – and in business – resilience isn’t a personality trait. It’s built in moments when you could reasonably decide you’re out.

As a long-time leader and now a leadership and executive coach, I’m seeing some very consistent patterns across organizations of all sizes and structures.

As a founding partner of Acre Architects, Monica Adair has built a mission-driven design practice from the ground up – growing from two people to 17, tackling increasingly complex projects and earning national and international recognition along the way. But leadership at that scale doesn’t stand still. Over more than a decade, Monica has returned to executive coaching with Vision time and again – not because something was wrong, but because it helped her lead with clarity th

When Dr. Pablo Ruda Vega, a senior attending cardiac surgeon at University Hospitals Cleveland, began feeling increasingly unsettled in a leadership role within his department, he struggled to pinpoint why.

Vision Coaching is pleased to welcome Jill Carroll, an executive coach and seasoned senior leader who brings more than 25 years of leadership experience in the Canadian telecommunications sector.

Every January, leaders are encouraged to think big. New goals. New habits. New resolve. And yet, by mid-month, many of those intentions quietly fade. Not because they weren’t sincere – but because intention alone is rarely enough to carry us forward.

When Colúm Connolly stepped into leadership coaching, he was carrying a bold ambition he hadn’t shared widely – a private stretch goal to double his company’s revenue in a single year. It felt, even to him, like a long shot. But coaching helped him turn that ambition into a real outcome by creating clarity, discipline and accountability around every step.
