Since its inception in 2011, Scotia Vision Achievers programme has helped to develop more than 200 businesses. The programme, led by International Business Coach, Marcia Woon-Choy of ActionCOACH, is designed to impart core competencies required for running a profitable business. These include sales, systemising business process, marketing and understanding business financials.

“I've actually seen financial, tangible results in my business as a result of things I've learnt in this course,” said participant of the 2018 Scotiabank Vision Achiever, Attorney-at-Law Stokley Marshall.

“It's one of the first courses I've ever done, and I have two degrees, where I actually see improvements from implementing steps I've learnt here and in such a short space of time.”

Danielle Thompson Britton, owner of Nature My Therapy, in echoing Marshall's sentiments, noted that the areas covered not only drive growth, but improve the effectiveness of business leaders.
