First Know Where You Are

December 26, 2024

By Dave Bushy, PCC In any type of journey, one first needs to know where they are before they can create a course to where they want to go.  It’s a fundamental tenet of navigation. If an airliner just takes off, for instance, without the navigation system being initialized to the starting point, then a […]

It’s Not Uncommon to Feel Stuck

December 11, 2024

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 […]

Difficult Conversations Don’t Age Well

November 27, 2024

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 […]

Acting With Kindness and Grace

November 15, 2024

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 […]

We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

October 30, 2024

By Dave Bushy, PCC You’ve finally made it to the C-Suite.  You now run a major division of the company and routinely meet with the other leaders of their respective areas. You’ve arrived.  You are now part of the “Exec Crew,” “ExCom,” or whatever heady title might fit. But wait –  something is changed on […]

What Is and What Can Be

October 16, 2024

By Dave Bushy, PCC In life and in coaching, we inevitably contend with a desire to be different.  We want to try something new, to be a changed person or to modify our way of doing things.  Essentially, it becomes a search for “What Can Be.” Too often, we forget to fully appreciate who we […]

October 2, 2024

By Dave Bushy, PCC & David “Sully” Sullivan, CSSMBB Individuals seeking coaching come from every background.  Helping them appreciate the process we employ as coaches is the first step in the professional growth for any client. For a coach, the professional training of a client can help provide a lens to the coaching process that […]

Leadership At the Edge of What You Know

September 14, 2024

By Allison Iantosca, PCC Leadership. “I am at the edge of what I know”. During Covid I found this idea in an article that was circulating at the time and wrote it out on a sticky note. I remember finding comfort that there was nothing in front of me that was going to be familiar […]

Name It, Tame It and Frame It

September 4, 2024

By Dave Bushy, PCC Much of our work in coaching involves exploration.   We explore how others experience us and spend time in deep reflection about it. Equally important is the work we do exploring our own thoughts and feelings.  It is both heart and mind-driven and so very important to our ability to grow and […]

Silent Cal – A Communicator Ahead of His Time?

August 21, 2024

By Dave Bushy, PCC Calvin Coolidge was the 30th president of the United States.  Among other things, he was famous for being a man of few words and for rather pithy comments about his own well-developed ability to stay silent. His nickname, appropriately, was “Silent Cal.”  It’s no surprise that few people today remember or […]
