By Allison Iantosca, PCC Coaching holds a frame long enough for cumulative and meaningful change to happen. My husband had a birthday last week. Oddly, my age anxiety rises more on his birthday than on my own. Maybe because his comes six months before mine. Maybe because he is two and a half years older. […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC We’ve all been the “new kid on the block.” It happens with moves, school, military service, companies and organizations.

By Dave Bushy, PCC Human organizations are complex systems. And most tend to have some type of bureaucracy. Some people use the word bureaucracy in a negative light –sometimes with humor, but seldom with positivity. Often the term is pointed at just governmental agencies, when in actuality any large human system requires processes and teams […]
