“Coaching through Vision Coaching has made a 360-degree change in my life. I’m healthier, more confident, and a better leader because of it. I would do it again in a heartbeat.”
Monica Adair,
Co-founding Partner,Acre Architects
"Coaching is a great starting point to help improve your focus. My coach provided an impartial voice & helped me to quickly get to the root of tasks and avoid getting stuck in the weeds. I like to “discover” as a way of learning rather than being told! I prefer not to overly rely on other people’s thinking and to have the opportunity to explore my own ideas. My coach helps me learn by discovery."
Lisa Williams,
CEO, Unicare Home Health Care Inc.
"Last summer I hit a wall. I have a lot of responsibilities as a busy CEO and single mother and I knew I needed to do something. That’s when I got a coach. Coaching helped me realize I need ME time – it gave me self awareness. And I haven’t gone back to work in the same way since. I finally realized how I really feel – I never really let myself feel. Stress was handling me. Coaching helped me learn how to turn that around and handle my stress. Coaching changed my perspective on life – and what’s important. My work will always be there. I now exercise and do more of the things I’ve always wanted to do, for myself. And guess what? I actually get MORE done! I say it to people all the time – organize your life so you fit into your life! My coach helped me do this."

"PVT has a stronger management as a result of this program. I inquired about whether we should continue the coaching program for other management personnel in PVT. It was a resounding yes! I was universally told that this class was the best training ever received by all of those attending. Thank you so much. PVT has stronger management as a result of this program."

Co-CEO of Bloom Funding
"Working with Vision Coaching was a real turning point for me as a leader.
One-to-one coaching with Vision helped me step back, gain clarity and shift how I showed up – not just in my business, but with my team and clients.
What surprised me was how much impact those leadership shifts had beyond the numbers. I became more intentional, more confident and more grounded in my decisions.
The ripple effects have been lasting – in our culture, our relationships and the way we work together.
I’d highly recommend Vision Coaching to any leader who’s serious about meaningful growth."
Matt McKenna,
Senior Wealth Advisor
"The coaching helped me walk through a challenging situation with clarity. It helped me understand who I am, how I think, and how to lead in a way that aligns with my values.
I was quite skeptical about coaching before. But working with Vision Coaching was magnificent. It helped me handle something very difficult in a way I feel proud of.
Lianne really understood who I was – very direct, very decisive – but also someone who was emotionally conflicted. She helped me stay grounded in what mattered most and lead in a way I could feel proud of."

"The staff love the coaching experience!
My experience with coaching is very positive. I started out getting coached 1-to-1 then made sure that some of my team members got a coach too. From there we did some team coaching with great results. It absolutely changed our business. People’s attitudes changed, actions changed and we saw a huge financial change.
At one point, we actually got some coaching help during a stage in our business where we had hired new people and were experiencing the kind of friction and conflict that can happen with that kind of change. As a result of bringing a coach approach to our company, we have grown our service sales alone from $67K to over $100K monthly and our service scores have gone up 10%.
This is a direct result of how our team treats our customers which is directly related to the coaching. There is an internal happiness – the staff get along better, which improves our customer service. The staff love the coaching experience!
Because we have shifted our approach and grown the business, we now have more service bays, more technicians and staff and we plan to grow even more."

"Learned how to better coach and provide better feedback to staff.
I found the Vision Coaching program very beneficial in terms of SMART goal setting. One specific example is that through the coaching and resources/tools, I was able to establish a performance management system for my business unit. I learned how to better coach and provide valuable feedback to staff.
This particular goal culminated in conducting a performance review of a struggling staff person. The end result was a mutually beneficial experience, and to witness her significant improvement.
The performance review process was also a pilot, which we are considering implementing across our organization. The anticipated result will be staff accountability and solid performance."

"Vision Coaching has a real gift for matching leaders with the right coach. That fit made all the difference for me – helping me build strategy, take action, and lead with confidence."
Judith Mackin,
CEO and Creative Director of Tuck Studio
"I used to think I didn’t need a coach — turns out I was totally wrong! Working with Peter Stoddart through Vision Coaching has been nothing short of transformational. Honestly, it’s been even better than having a mentor or business partner. Peter has helped me grow as a leader, prioritize my own well-being, and give my team the space and confidence to step up and thrive. Our business is stronger because of it — and so are all of us in it!"
Greg Hemmings,
President & Founder,Hemmings House
"Vision Coaching experience has been more than transformational…it has been (I will make up a new term here) “trans-foundational”. My Vision coach pulled out my vision and inspiration, he opened me up to building a business not only based on the goals of profit, but rather on culture, lifestyle and creation. We have built a new foundation that our business sits and grows upon. We would likely not be here today if it was not for the coach approach that Vision has exposed us too."
Chris Nadeau,
Co-founder, Evolving Solutions
"In only two months of coaching with my Vision coach I have achieved what I was hoping to get from six months. I can’t wait to see what else I accomplish with his support. Coaching has enabled me to gain clarity in my business planning that is already translating into massive progress. Anyone serious about success, whatever your definition, needs a coach. Anyone serious about coaching needs a good one."
Jamie Ryan, CEO,
New Brunswick Real Estate Association
"My coaching experience through the non-profit leader coaching program has provided me with an opportunity to reflect in a non-intrusive way on how to be more effective as an overall leader. My coach has provided me with tools such as evaluating my conflict style and overall management style. I recommend this program for any CEO leader in their skill development journey and I count myself lucky to have had the opportunity to participate in this program."
Carol O'Reilly,
CEO, Greater Moncton Chamber of Commerce
"I was fortunate to have a personal coach for a six month period. My coach was a true professional. The impact of this program was overwhelmingly positive. I was able to make positive changes in my work and personal life. If you are questioning the value of this program: don’t. You will get out of it what you put into it. Thank you for all the great work you do."
Shilo Boucher CPA, CA ,
President and CEO, YMCA of Greater Saint John
Having a coach allows you the opportunity to have a sounding board, to deal with the difficult situations that you are not able to speak about to others due to the sensitivity of information. Having a coach confirms if you are in fact on the right track and if there are any adjustments needed.
It helps the person being coached discover opportunities for the organization as well as the gaps. New ideas emerge and new way of doing things that one may never have thought of themselves.
A coach sparks ideas and innovations through conversation and digging into the problem.
Krista Ross,
CEO, Fredericton Chamber of Commerce
Having an executive coach helped me to be more focused. I was able to do a better job of getting priorities lined up and determining what the energy and time drains were that were not contributing to meeting my personal goals and the goals of the organization.
