Forgiveness

October 1, 2025

By Dave Bushy, PCC The idea of forgiveness may be one of the most challenging of human concepts.  I suspect it’s because our own complexity causes us to hold onto and process so many other emotions that can get in the way of the grace that is inherent in the simple act of forgiveness. Forgiving […]

Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast

September 17, 2025

By Lisa B. McNeill, PCC Peter Drucker, sometimes called the Father of Modern Management, is attributed with the quote, “culture eats strategy for breakfast.”  I’ve been thinking about this quote lately as I work with some of my coaching clients.  Leaders from CEOs to new managers have talked to me about employees who lack boundaries.  […]

Even C-Rations Can Taste Good

September 3, 2025

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 […]

The First Rule of Wing Walking

August 20, 2025

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 […]

Change Can’t Happen Without Choice

August 6, 2025

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. […]

I Can’t Do It All

July 23, 2025

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 […]

You Two Just Get Along

July 10, 2025

By Dave Bushy, PCC I suppose we’ve all experienced it: for some reason two people who work together don’t “click.” And, in truth, just don’t like each other. As an executive leading senior teams, I often faced situations like this.  I’d be less than transparent if I also didn’t admit that, at times, I’ve also […]

Call a Friend

June 25, 2025

By Dave Bushy, PCC Every day I speak with leaders who work with diligence and care in their jobs.  They continually give of themselves in everything they do, almost all of the time. When the occasion warrants, my natural curiosity can cause me to ask about how they might find solace in their busy lives […]

Leaders Serve Others – Not Themselves

June 11, 2025

By Dave Bushy, PCC Most people have heard the words “servant leadership” but how many leaders know what that means?   Leadership, from my experience, is service — service to others — not service to oneself.   I was honored to work with two leaders who epitomized such service.  One was in the U.S. Army, the other […]

Let’s Be Clear About Ambiguity

May 28, 2025

By Dave Bushy, PCC Clear about Ambiguity?  That’s a bit paradoxical, isn’t it?  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 […]
