By Dave Bushy, PCC When you first join a company, you might get the impression that senior leaders – and especially CEO’s – have virtually unlimited power. In reality, that isn’t the case. There are a myriad of limitations to the power of CEO’s, including investors, boards of directors, governmental agencies and even unions. And […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC “Shared falsehood, endlessly repeated, is more powerful than the truth.” Rinker Buck, “Life on the Mississippi.” I suppose this concept started millennia ago, people sharing gossip and then repeating perceptions or thoughts that were inaccurate. We human beings seem to have been building this “skill” ever since. Today we live […]

By Allison Iantosca, PCC In terms of executive coaching, is change really possible? Can a well-intended member of the C-Suite actually understand and modify their own patterns of learned norms? Is a middle manager able to make headway in performative adjustment to feel more centered and capable? Yes, change is perfectly possible. Here is a […]

The concept of remote leadership provides less opportunity […]

By Allison Iantosca, PCC It is January first. In some ways, my favorite day of the year. I feel birthed into a fresh start. The slate of past transgressions erased, and I get to write new intentions with a long and sturdy stick of white chalk. Fresh from the new box. Fragile if you press […]

If an airliner just takes off, for instance, without the navigation system being initialized to the starting point, then a […]

By Allison Iantosca, PCC It’s not uncommon for a client to tell me they feel stuck. With a hint of worry that something is broken or not working right. A symptom of change that is raw and uncomfortable and very, very real…a perfect place to begin. Because what exactly is it to be stuck? I’ve […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC “Bad news doesn’t age well,” someone once said to me. I couldn’t agree more. The same can be said about difficult conversations. In all aspects of our lives, we human beings have a tendency to avoid talking about the negatives that might emerge in any situation and to just accentuate the […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC We work and live with so many people in this world. Some of them we know well. Others not at all. Then there are the ones we sort of know and sometimes figure out. Or think we understand and then get confused when we see something we didn’t expect. And, of […]
