Exciting news! Angie Thompson, is joining the Vision Coaching team. Angie has a unique vision that can best be summed up in the following statement: "People are Great!  See the greatness in everyone. Leaders are made through self discovery, reflection, daring to see the possibilities." Angie is a welcome addition to our growing group of certified executive coaches. We've put Angie right to work reviewing a book for our Fresh Ideas readers. We think it's an excellent choice!

As coaches, we see brilliance within our clients on a regular basis and Nathalie Godbout is a coach's dream client! She is making a real difference since her arrival as chair of the Saint John Board of Trade last year. We have shared a story in our Portrait of a Leader (left) that appeared recently in the Telegraph-Journal. It's incredible what Nathalie is managing to achieve while juggling motherhood, a business, her responsibilities with the Board of Trade, and more!

And, we also have a story to share about Tim Coates, Executive Director of 21inc, who put "reverse brain drain" into gear and moved back to New Brunswick. Read the story, below, to discover how a leadership initiative brought him back!

As always, we love hearing from you and look forward to your feedback and contributions to Fresh Ideas!
