what others SAY

"Your help was invaluable. The benefit was more than I ever expected." 

Michael Lease
General Manager,
Allegheny Coatings

"It’s never easy when an employee/position mismatch becomes evident. As a manager with P&L responsibility you are compelled to take action. But you also want to handle the situation with respect and care for the affected employee.

By outsourcing our outplacement needs to Posti & Associates, we have been able to leverage their vast experience in meeting both of the above needs, resulting in 100% success.

I count on Chris Posti to provide advice before, during and after outplacement/ replacement assignments, and highly recommend Chris’ company." 

Ahmed Reza
VP, COO
Speech Interface Design, Inc.

"Chris has an amazing facility for helping people to get insight into themselves, and to understand how and why others see them as they do. This very critical first step has allowed her to help several people in our organization...and the changes that have been effected have stuck.

There has been little, if any, back sliding, and that, to me, is the ultimate test of a coach’s effectiveness." 

Ben DeMaria, Vice President (retired),
Human Resources and Corporate Communications
MSA

"Chris is the first person I think to call when I have a coaching assignment, a difficult business assignment, an outplacement need for one or many, or, often, my own personal career questions. Her willingness to help and her heartfelt concern make her stand out in her field!"
