In Inc., Capitalizing on the Power of Recognition highlights three practical ways leaders can make recognition a daily habit: creating a cycle of positivity, celebrating small wins, and sharing gratitude consistently.

Matt McKenna thought coaching "wasn't for him" – until he faced a team crisis that left him feeling stuck and emotionally conflicted.

Working with our coach Lianne Krakauer, Matt discovered how to:

✅Lead with both directness AND compassion
✅Make difficult decisions while protecting team culture
✅Create an environment where everyone can thrive

The result? "We're delivering better client service, people feel safe, and we're growing – together."

Sometimes the best leaders are the ones brave enough to ask for help. 💪

Leaders, do your words inspire ownership – or just approval?

In this his Leadership Unleashed blog, Dave Veale shares why acknowledgement matters more than praise, and how the shift can transform leadership.

📖 Read the full piece here: https://zurl.co/uzhfL

➡️ Then tell us: what’s one way you acknowledge your team?

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.

Leaders often rush to fix problems. But sometimes the most powerful move is to simply be present.

At Vision Coaching, we help leaders build these skills every day. How do you practise being present in your leadership?

The best leaders embrace their “inner idiot.”

As Time explains, admitting you don’t have all the answers isn’t weakness – it’s courage. Vulnerability builds trust, invites collaboration and creates a culture where people feel safe to innovate, experiment and share ideas.

At Vision Coaching, we help leaders recognize the power of showing up authentically – and how leaning into vulnerability can transform teams and organizations.

New research in Harvard Business Review shows it’s not just about long hours — it’s about culture. When busyness becomes the norm and boundaries blur, even well-meaning wellness policies can fall flat.

This piece highlights what leaders can do differently — from resetting the pace of work to creating space for reflection, focus and sustainable performance.

What happens when a leader is willing to grow – even at the top of their game?

When Kevin Scott transitioned into HR leadership at Irving Oil, it was uncharted territory. Coaching gave him a space to reflect, build confidence, and lead boldly – resulting in transformative culture change and national recognition.

In Kevin’s Story: Leading Through Uncharted Territory, he shares how five years of coaching with the late Bruce McLeod helped him lead with clarity, confidence and impact.
