By Allison Iantosca, ACC Human organizations seem to be in an endless search to discover “How to Build a Great Team,” or “How to Fix a Dysfunctional Team.”  Perhaps the ease of the Google search, the plethora of articles all over the Internet, the inspiration of book after book on the Leadership shelf at Barnes […]

By Dave Bushy, PCC “Gestalt” is described* as “a composition of elements that can only be appreciated as a whole rather than as a sum of its parts.” As a Gestalt-trained coach, I am honored to work with clients to help them explore what “wholeness” means to them and how they can discover and then […]

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 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.

By Dave Bushy, PCC One day during a coaching session, an executive asked me, “How do I know if I’m talking too much?” The question had emerged from the results of confidential interviews I had conducted at the executive’s request.  I had created a document which included de-identified “themes” which emerged during my interaction with […]

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.
