By Dave Bushy, PCC As coaches, we spend most of our time listening.  We do that, of course with our ears, and also with our eyes, our body language, our experience and with our hearts. When we do speak, we use inquiry and what are called “powerful questions” that are meant to elicit ideas from […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC As humans, we have a limited capacity for recollection, especially in being able to remember what our feelings were at a specific time.  We often try to remember, and yet somehow such emotions are still like the wisps of a dream – as we reach for them, they seem to disappear.

By Allison Iantosca, ACC I want to write about flow. But then I get stuck. Because I don’t know how to begin. The desire is there, along with the obsessive opinions that nag at the outer edges of my brain, provoking me to let it all out!  Be all you can be!  Or some other […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC In a recent blog, I related the story of discovery about what was causing a client to be “stuck” in his career.  It concerned an incident with a boss whose actions had severely impacted the client and his sense of value as a person and a professional. A number of readers […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC I was working with a client one day, appreciating the self-discovery that was taking place for him.  He spoke about the ways he had been shaped professionally and how he had been able to function and succeed in the workplace. The client was focusing on very real strengths and capabilities.  A […]
