By Dave Bushy, PCC How do we gain perspective? I suppose it’s from experience. Framing that experience through awareness of its meaning is the hard work that supports our growth. Because experience is less about our trials than about learning. And less about our difficulties than seeing them as opportunities. My own life’s journey has […]

Billy Bomar and Uva Kimmey of the Howard Flying Circus wing-walk on a biplane over New York State. 1930. By Dave Bushy, PCC In the early 20th century, a common aerial stunt involved people venturing out onto the wing of a biplane in flight. It was exciting for those who watched from the ground, but […]

By Allison Iantosca, PCC It is easy to undermine the choices we make or to even notice them at all. But if we stop to consider the whole of our life, including what inspires us, informs us, makes us who we are, maybe we would be more accepting of our choices. Coaching creates that possibility. […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC “I can’t do it all.” Have you ever felt this way as a leader? I know I have. And I often deluded myself that, indeed, I could do it all. I meet with clients who are pulled in what seem to be endless directions. They struggle to keep up with […]

How in the world could you be clear about a word which means “the quality of being open to more than one interpretation?” Well let’s try. Some of us live in and embrace ambiguity every day. We appreciate differing views of the […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC I’ve often asked clients “How did it go?” The question might be focused on a major initiative, a critical negotiation or a project undertaken by a team. Or any number of other things. You’d be surprised how often I get an answer like, “We’re going to do a post-mortem next week […]

By Allison Iantosca, PCC A coach who changed my life taught me that what you look for is what you will see. Even now, in my mind, I can hear the echo of his words. The soft lilt of his voice making it sound almost like a question – but not quite. It is an […]
