By Allison Iantosca, ACC It is not atypical for a coaching client to come to a session or two and then wonder “What’s next?” Especially a high-paced executive who rarely has the luxury of reflecting on any decision for more than twenty-four hours. The ability to make quick decisions that directly impact outcome is often […]

Lisa B. McNeill, PCC In life, we live with risks. I’m fortunate to live in a beautiful place, but, even here, there are hazards. Walking through the woods and towards the shore one can encounter ticks, downed trees, coyotes, hunters and hidden stones. At the bay it’s rip tides, jellyfish, and even a shark on […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC I occasionally read about movie stars who do their best not to be noticed when they are out in public. They sometimes yearn for anonymity, preferring a quiet time with friends and loved ones over staring crowds and adoring fans. Movie stars use the big screen as their vehicle for delivering […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC I’ve lived it. The uneasy sense that creeps into your thoughts when you wake up on Sunday. It builds all afternoon into something that begins to gnaw at you. Ultimately it morphs into a dreaded feeling deep in your gut that you can’t shake. I hate Sunday nights. Why? Perhaps […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC As an executive coach, I work with senior corporate executives, vice presidents and leaders throughout companies and organizations with widely varied backgrounds and experience. And as a senior vice president at a corporation back in the day, I was honored to know women and men at all levels of leadership doing […]

By Allison Iantosca, ACC How does coaching, a human process of awareness building and choice making, fit into our automated world? Yesterday was a regular old Wednesday. Digital alarm got me up, coffee brewed by an early morning pre-set, the Roomba had vacuumed overnight. Notifications of one kind or another littered my home screen all […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC One of the most recurring subjects that emerges in coaching is the human tendency of delaying a meaningful conversation with another person. It’s a common theme with some clients as they speak about subjects ranging from subordinates who are challenging, bosses who treat them unfairly or vendors who might be unresponsive. […]

By Lisa McNeill, PCC Coaches help clients try new ways of being. And sometimes we are served by trying it ourselves. These last three days I have been in an all-day online class with a spacious 1.5 hours for a mid-day break. While most days, I don’t take the time to walk at lunch, each […]

By Allison Iantosca, ACC I think, for a lot of us, intimacy is a four-letter word dolled up in eight. Equally jarring and inappropriate, it should be reserved for those key moments of potent expression and otherwise be left out of polite conversation. Being the well-mannered professionals we are, this generally accepted practice seems to […]
