About Posti & Associates

Posti & Associates, Inc., was founded by Chris Posti in 1992, and specializes in achieving results in executive coaching, outplacement, and human resources consulting for clients of all sizes and all industries. A sampling of clients includes GlaxoSmithKline, MSA, Eat 'n Park, Heinz North America, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Philips Respironics, Fiserv, L-3 Brashear, AREVA T&D, Impress North America, Marsh, Chromalox, Converteam, Holy Family Institute, PPG, Giant Eagle, Equitable Resources, ADVO and Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Chris' driving passion is enabling employers to realize their full potential by transforming their human resources. She combines her extensive practical experience with her strong desire to help people change. Her energetic and inspiring style brings powerful and lasting results. She is known for offering direct advice, focusing on goals and results, and tailoring services to the needs of the client.

For more than a dozen years, Chris has written the Sunday "Career Coach" column for the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, and she previously hosted a talk radio show called "Career Works" on 1360 WMNY - AM in Pittsburgh.

Chris is also the author of “Marriage On and Off the Rocks,” (www.MarriageOnAndOffTheRocks.com), a book that helps the reader learn about marriage and relationships through the true stories of marriages that made it – and others that didn’t.

Prior to consulting, Chris held human resources and training positions in technology, manufacturing, banking and academia, and has worked in Pittsburgh, California, and Switzerland. She is past president of the Pittsburgh Coaches Association and past board member of the Pittsburgh Human Resources Association.

Consultants affiliated with Posti & Associates each have deep and broad experience in their field, whether it is executive coaching, outplacement, or human resources consulting. It is one of our strengths to be able to draw on the substantial expertise of our associates by leveraging relationships that have been developed over time with these outstanding consultants.

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.

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.
