Leadership Unleashed

When Peter Stoddart first discovered leadership coaching, he didn’t expect it to change his life or his career. But it quickly changed how he led – and what he did next. He loved Vision Coaching so much, he bought (half) the company.

Founder Dave Veale reflects on Vision Coaching’s 20-year journey – from a business to a community built on connection, belonging and trust – and why that spirit continues to power its success.

September offers us a natural reset. Just like changing leaves signal a new season, we can look at our teams, our challenges, our opportunities with fresh eyes. Leadership coaching facilitates the reflection we often skip. When we ask ourselves, ‘If I were approaching this for the first time, what would I be wondering?’ we open up new possibilities.

Vision Coaching is delighted to welcome Crystal Trevors, an accomplished entrepreneur, executive coach and strategic advisor, to our coaching roster. Crystal brings more than 25 years of leadership experience across science, innovation and business. 

For Katie Pierce, leadership coaching came at just the right time. As settlement supervisor, she oversees a team of 10 staff supporting newcomer clients through case management and health care navigation. It’s demanding work, and Katie admits she has often felt on the edge of burnout.

One of the most important shifts for a leader is understanding the difference between praise and acknowledgement. When people feel truly seen – not just praised – their confidence grows from within. And so does your impact as a leader.

I am excited to announce that Peter Stoddart is Vision Coaching’s Chief Operating Officer.

Vision Coaching’s Emily Rodger has been named one of Atlantic Business Magazine’s 25 Most Powerful Women in Business.

Active listening has become a staple of leadership training but it often misses the mark. 

Over the past two years, Vision Coaching has helped Judith redefine what leadership looks like.

Lately, one theme keeps coming up in the work we do at Vision Coaching – psychological safety.

We’ve seen firsthand how transformative it can be when leaders create an environment where failure is not just accepted, but embraced.

In coaching, the right questions challenge assumptions, ignite self-reflection, and inspire action.
