Authenticity is often held up as a leadership virtue – but it’s not enough on its own.

In MIT Sloan Management Review, Are You an Authentic Leader or an Authentic Jerk? explores how honesty can backfire when it isn’t paired with self-awareness, curiosity and care for others.

A sharp reminder that leadership impact matters more than intent – and that “being yourself” still comes with responsibility.

As organizations flatten and teams become more interconnected, leadership isn’t getting simpler – it’s getting more relational.

In The Conversation, Why the Burden of Leadership Is Really About Managing Relationships argues that today’s leadership challenge isn’t hierarchy or authority, but the growing complexity of relationships leaders must navigate every day.

A thoughtful read for leaders feeling stretched – not by tasks, but by expectations, influence and connection.

Big decisions rarely come with clear instructions.

In this month’s featured story, cardiac surgeon Pablo Ruda Vega shares how coaching helped him slow down, reflect honestly, and gain clarity during a pivotal leadership moment.

Working with Vision Coaching’s Jeff Green, Pablo discovered that understanding why he felt unsettled was the first step toward moving forward with confidence.

“Some jobs have a beginning, a development and an end,” he says. “That realization gave me peace of mind.”

Leadership isn’t just about setting direction – it’s also about how well you follow.

In Harvard Business Review, The Best Leaders Are Great Followers reframes followership as a core leadership capability. The most effective leaders listen deeply, learn continuously, collaborate across boundaries and adapt as conditions change.

At Vision Coaching, we see this every day. Leaders who lead well are curious, coachable and open to influence – especially when the stakes are high.

Strong leadership isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about creating the conditions where the best answers can emerge.

January is full of good intentions.

But intention alone doesn’t create lasting leadership change – discipline does.

In this Leadership Unleashed blog post, our CEO Dave Veale reflects on why real leadership growth comes from small, consistent choices, supported by accountability – not from bold resolutions that fade by February.

It’s a thoughtful read for anyone leading people, teams or themselves.

Every January, leaders are encouraged to think big. New goals. New habits. New resolve. And yet, by mid-month, many of those intentions quietly fade. Not because they weren’t sincere – but because intention alone is rarely enough to carry us forward.

Working harder to be a better leader? You don’t need to be

The leaders we work with are already carrying a lot. What they’re really looking for is a better way to navigate the moments that matter most. The conversations that stall. The people who keep coming back for answers. The issues that never quite get resolved.

That’s where Using the Coach Approach™ makes a difference.

This program helps leaders slow things down, ask better questions, and create clarity without taking on more. It’s practical, grounded, and immediately useful.

Could this help you and those you lead? We think so. And you'll leave with tools you will use the very next day.

The best part? Our next session starts Jan. 29 and is sponsored by Wallace McCain Institute - WMI

What happens when a leader commits to doing the inner work – not just the strategic work?

For Colúm Connolly, leadership coaching with Vision’s Pete Stoddart created the clarity and confidence to shift how he led, how his team showed up, and how his business grew.

This is a story about more than revenue – it’s about presence, culture and becoming the leader your organization needs next.

Most leaders we work with don’t need more advice.
They need better conversations.

Conversations that slow things down instead of escalating them.
Conversations that build ownership instead of dependence.
Conversations that help people think for themselves.

That’s what Using the Coach Approach™ is really about.

It’s not about becoming a coach.
It’s about leading differently.

Over the years, we’ve seen one well timed question do more than a dozen directives ever could. We’ve watched leaders regain time, trust, and clarity simply by shifting how they show up in conversation.

Our next Using the Coach Approach™ program starts January 29.

If this feels like the right moment to sharpen how you lead, there’s a 20 percent early bird discount available with the code EARLYBIRD20.

That offer ends this Friday at midnight.

If you’ve been meaning to do this, now’s the time.

As the year comes to a close, we’re feeling grateful for the people, conversations, and moments that made it meaningful.

Working alongside leaders who care deeply about their organizations and communities is a privilege. It’s also work that asks a lot. The holiday season gives us a welcome pause to slow down, reflect on what we’ve learned, and reconnect with what matters most.

We hope this time offers you space to rest, enjoy time with the people you love, and step into the new year feeling renewed and hopeful.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a bright start to the year ahead.

Dave, Pete, and the Vision Coaching team
