Greetings! 

This week, we're launching our new video - The Leadership Ride. We made the video with the expert help of the creative team at Hemmings House Pictures. When we spoke to Greg Hemmings late last year about the possibility of updating our corporate video (you can watch the first video Hemming House made for us here, on the sidebar of our website), Greg said it was definitely time for an walking & walking update and he actually had a vision for what we could do to help explain - quickly - the importance of coaching in a leader's day-to-day leadership ride.

We turned to Greg and the Hemmings House team for this project for a bunch of reasons, but mainly because Greg has a solid understanding of performance coaching. He has been working with a coach for over five years now. He's also taken coaching training for business leaders so he can bring a "coach approach" to his life and work.

We asked Greg to share his experiences while making The Leadership Ride. Here's what he had to say...
Greg Hemmings
Film maker Greg Hemmings

"The coaching skills and the coach approach that I learned from my coaching sessions and coach training has helped me become a much better film maker; I have to know how to ask the appropriate questions, draw out the appropriate stories, and listen well.


I felt that scripting this video in advance would not show the true authenticity of Dave as a person, as a business leader and as a coach. I asked Dave to not prepare for this particular interview. We rolled cameras and I asked Dave a few questions about his passion for leadership and coaching. In the edit suite I had about 40 minutes of film material that we cut The plane...the plane! down to a very short and concise, authentic message that is 100% Dave. I always use coaching questions when I am interviewing people in a documentary - interviewing Dave was no exception. I found it fun to be able to coach the coach!

Dave was very open to my style of film making for this video despite the spontaneity and the improvisational aspects of this production style. He has a lot of trust in the people he surrounds himself with. I find that is the mark of a great leader and certainly the mark of a great coach. He trusted my unique film idea that we used to help him tell his story."

"Punchy" Entrepreneur has a Creative Apporach
As published in the Telegraph-Journal July 19, 2012

Whenever I think of creative entrepreneurship, Judith Mackin immediately jumps to my mind. Owner and founder of Punch Productions, Punch Inside and Tuck Studio (read all about these ventures at http://www.judithmackin.ca), Judith began her entrepreneurial career in 2000 with a clear mandate "to - whenever
Judith Mackin on creativity...
and wherever possible - incorporate visual art, literature, film and music into projects." Judith fell into becoming an entrepreneur and feels that it's not something you choose, that it's part of your personality. A self-proclaimed control freak, she sometimes found it hard to work under other people, so it was a natural progression to go "out on her own"and try a different path.

I am, along with many members of the business and arts community in Saint John, very happy that Judith decided to take the uncharted entrepreneurial path because I have witnessed first hand the many incredible creative talents she brings to her endeavours. One day she is breathing life and energy into creating a company brand from an abstract business concept and the next day planning an upscale corporate event or sharing thoughts on fine art and design.

Not surprisingly, our conversation began with the topic of creativity ... Judith: You don't have to be an artist to be creative - you actually just have to be a creative thinker. I see a lot of creative thinkers out there in business, in arts and in non-profit organizations.
