By Dave Bushy, PCC “I’m making course adjustments,” a good friend and colleague told me the other day, smiling as he spoke.  Fascinated, I listened as he went on to provide perspective on what “adjusting course” meant for him.  The genesis of the conversation had arisen from a chat we were having about strong convictions […]

By Allison Iantosca, ACC Coaching can be a bit like a fresh start. It seems no better time of year then, to explore the opportunity. Which got me to thinking, I wonder what it is like to be the month of January. December seems a particularly hard act to follow with its days packed to […]

By Allison Iantosca Fall. Change and transition. Coaching. Because life is about the whole of you; not just you as the Executive. So, Fall. For some, I suppose, its beginning is merely an extension of summer only interrupted by the sense of fewer sandal-wearing, bare-leg-baring, swimsuit wearers in line at the local convenience store.

By Dave Bushy, PCC Ever do some deep and reflective thinking while you were walking or hiking?  It happened for me one day some years back when my best friend invited me to walk the beach near our home.  It was a Sunday and I had just finished a few hours of catch-up on emails […]

By Lisa McNeill I was working with a client a month or so ago, and he said, “I need to make this work – the horse not the tick!”  This particular client’s passion and purpose is to develop reduced emissions resources to help fight climate change and improve environmental, economic, and health outcomes for local […]
