A Unique Opportunity...
Vision Coaching has a soft spot for the Saint John Boys & Girls Club ~ several members of our Boys & Girls Club Saint John logo team donate their time and expertise to the club.

There is a unique opportunity to take the lead at our local club...they are in the process of looking for an Executive Director.

Are you a strong team builder recognized for your success in effectively managing non- profits, ideally with organizations serving youth? Do you know someone who is?

Take a look at the Executive Director job description. What a way to make a huge difference in our community!

Greetings! 

Come in, sit down and make yourself uncomfortable. What? You heard me. My colleague and fellow coach, Marilyn Orr, is talking about getting people out of their comfort zone in this issue of Fresh Ideas.

It's a very interesting concept and we'd love to know what you think about it. Leave a comment after you read the article and let us know!

Please, Allow Me to Make You Uncomfortable
Marilyn Orr

by Marilyn Orr BSc, MA, CEC

There is an "unspoken conspiracy about not wanting to make anyone else uncomfortable, physically, mentally or emotionally," according to David Rock in his book Quiet Leadership.  I read this for the first time years ago and it is still resonating deeply within me.

This commitment to comfort is costing us all quite a bit. There are a lot of conversations that don't happen because of our commitment toYour Comfort Zone not wanting to make the other person uncomfortable. There are many projects that don't get finished, many books that don't get written, many relationships that don't happen.

Over the past five years or so I have become increasingly comfortable with making other people uncomfortable. (If you are one of my friends or clients, you likely already know this!) The barrier I had to overcome was twofold.
Share and grow,

Interviews with Leaders from the Telegraph Journal column

Trust is the New Currency for Business Today
As published in the Telegraph-Journal May 17, 2012

Dave Veale's interview with Stephen M.R. Covey, Organizational trust expert, experienced executive, and #1 bestselling author. (read Stephen's impressive biography)

I had the pleasure to sit down with Stephen M.R. Covey (son of Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) last week to discuss the importance of trust and how it can cut through the noise and clutter in today's economy. Stephen M.R. Covey

It was a huge honour to be given the opportunity to interview Stephen when he was in New Brunswick recently.

He was very generous with his time prior to giving a keynote presentation at the Fredericton Convention Centre. The presentation was hosted by the UNB College of Extended Learning Executive Education Centre.

I was struck by his clear passion and belief in the importance for leaders to inspire trust, so I began our conversation by asking what Stephen had learned about trust through his process of leading an organization, particularly the Covey Leadership Center.
