One of the more interesting ideas in a recent Harvard Business Review piece is that leadership struggles often come from leaders misunderstanding what their teams actually need.

Leaders may be communicating vision when their teams are actually looking for clarity, support or fairness.

The article outlines six core needs followers consistently look for in leadership and offers a practical framework for recognizing when something is missing.

It’s a strong read for leaders trying to better understand the people they lead.

Leaders know that feedback matters.

What’s harder is knowing how to deliver it in a way that actually helps someone grow while still protecting the relationship.

That’s the idea behind Using the Coach Approach™ to Feedback, a new half-day module designed for leaders, managers and HR professionals.

The program focuses on making feedback more clear, collaborative and actionable, with practical tools leaders can use right away.

A free introductory webinar takes place May 27 for anyone interested in learning more before registering for the full module.

Registration is still open (but not for long): https://www.visioncoachinginc.com/event-details/using-the-coach-approach-to-feedback-intro-webinar

The things that feel obvious to you now probably weren’t obvious when you first started.

That’s part of what makes mentorship so valuable.

Pete Stoddart’s latest piece reflects on how many leaders are already mentoring others without even realizing it, simply by sharing their experiences and perspectives.

It’s easy for leaders to get pulled into the day-to-day.

The meetings, the decisions, the immediate needs of the business.

Over time, that can leave less space for the kind of leadership that looks ahead and creates clarity for others.

That was the reality Jeff White found himself in.

Through coaching, he began to take a different approach. Creating more structure in how he worked, making space for strategic thinking and enabling his team to take on more responsibility.

The result didn’t just change how he managed his time, it changed how he showed up as a leader.

It’s a strong example of what can happen when leaders invest in their own development.

Who gets seen as a “leader” isn’t always the same as who leads effectively.

In many organizations, confidence and presence are what stand out first. But the qualities that actually shape strong teams tend to be quieter and less visible.

Things like judgment, empathy and the ability to develop others over time.

A recent article highlights how this gap can lead to weaker teams and missed leadership potential.

It’s a helpful perspective for anyone thinking about how leaders are identified and supported.

Il ne reste plus que quelques places pour la première édition en français du programme « Using the Coach Approach™ », prévue en mai.

Pour Jules Michaud, il ne s’agit pas seulement d’animer un programme. Il s’agit de créer un espace permettant aux dirigeants de s’engager dans ce travail dans la langue dans laquelle ils se sentent le plus à l’aise.
Basé au Nouveau-Brunswick, Jules travaille avec des dirigeants aussi bien en français qu’en anglais, ce qui n’est pas toujours facile à trouver et peut faire une réelle différence dans la façon dont les participants vivent cette expérience.

Il accompagne les leaders d’une manière qui les invite à ralentir, à poser de meilleures questions et à approfondir leur réflexion.

Nous sommes vraiment ravis de compter Jules parmi l’équipe de Vision Coaching et de proposer ce programme avec lui.

Les places sont limitées et ont tendance à se remplir rapidement.

We’re down to the last seats for the first French-language offering of Using the Coach Approach™ in May.

For Jules Michaud, this is about more than delivering a program. It’s about creating space for leaders to engage in this work in the language they’re most comfortable in.
Based in New Brunswick, Jules works with leaders in both French and English, which isn’t always easy to find and can make a real difference in how people experience the work.

He has a way of working with leaders that helps them slow down, ask better questions and think things through more clearly.

We’re really glad to have Jules as part of the Vision Coaching team and to be offering this program with him.

Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly.

Every team runs into moments where people see the same situation very differently.

And it’s not always because of the facts. Often, it comes down to how each person interprets what matters most.

A recent article explores how leaders can help teams move through these moments by slowing conversations down, exploring context and making space for different perspectives.

When that happens, discussions tend to become more productive and teams are better able to find solutions that work.

If you look back 10 to 15 years, leadership often meant having the answers, or at least pretending to.

Being certain, setting direction and keeping things on track. Over time, we’ve seen something different start to take shape.

Leaders who ask more questions, create space for others and are open about what they’re working through. When that happens, the difference is noticeable. Conversations open up, teams engage more fully and ideas move more freely.

More and more, the leaders creating the most impact aren’t the ones trying to control every outcome. They’re the ones willing to go first and trust others to step forward with them.

There’s no shortage of leadership content.

But the most useful ideas tend to come from what’s actually happening in the work.

The conversations. The patterns. The challenges that don’t always have clear answers.

Fresh Ideas is where some of that thinking gets captured each month.

If that kind of perspective resonates, you can subscribe here to get the newest edition next week.

Loneliness at work isn’t always obvious.

It can show up in quieter ways: lower engagement, reduced focus, people pulling back from conversations or collaboration.

In a world that moves quickly, it’s easy for connection to become an afterthought. But for leaders, it’s something that needs to be designed with intention.

How people feel at work shapes how they contribute, how they engage and how they perform over time. And leaders play an important role in designing those environments.

If you’re thinking about how to strengthen connection within your team, this is a helpful read:
