\"Coaching can assist anyone in any company who finds themselves overcome by the `busy-ness' of their occupation rather than the business of their occupation,\" Mr [Peter Pole] said. Mr Pole interviewed 26 organisations including Compaq, Microsoft, Fujitsu, Netbridge, Sun Microsystems and Unisys and discovered many of the issues were sales executive-centric issues and therefore within an executive's \"circle of influence\" to solve. \"Coaching will play an increasingly important role in the `Whitewater' new era where the only constant is change,\" Mr Pole said.

Born after World War I into an educated and progressive Polish family, Peter F. Dembowski was a teenager during the joint occupation of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. His account of life as a young Polish soldier, as an immigrant to Canada, and finally as an American professor is a gripping narrative of life before, during, and after the horrors of World War II. Skillfully weaving a tapestry of emotion and history, Dembowski recounts the effects of loss: at age twelve, his father's death; and later, the arrest of his mother and sister by the Gestapo and their execution in 1942 in the women's concentration camp of Ravensbrück. Balancing those tragedies, Dembowski recalls the loving care given him by Janina Dembowska, the wife of his paternal uncle, as well as the inspiring strength of character he witnessed in his teachers and extended family. Still a very young-looking teenager, Dembowski became involved with the Polish Underground in 1942. Suspected as a konspirator, he was incarcerated in Pawiak Prison and later, after a rare release, fought in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. His on-the-ground account describes the deprivations Polish soldiers faced as well as the fierce patriotism they shared. With the defeat of the Uprising, he was deported to Sandbostel; once liberated, he joined the Polish Army in Italy, serving there for two years. In 1947, Dembowski made the momentous decision not to return to Poland but rather to emigrate to Canada. We learn of his stint as a farmhand and, later, of his studies at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He continued his education in France, receiving a Doctorat de l'Université de Paris in Russian philology and, in 1960, a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley in medieval French. In tandem with his successful academic career teaching at the University of Toronto and at the University of Chicago, Dembowski describes his happy marriage and the joy of family life.

Catherine Dammartin began her adult life as a nun in Metz but ended it in 1553 as a wife in an Oxford college. First laid to rest in Christ Church Cathedral, her corpse was later removed as a pollutant then finally restored in a ceremony that saw her bones mixed with those of the virgin St. Frideswide. This article revisits Dammartin's story to explore what it can tell us of the affective, sexual, and gendered dimensions of England's Reformation. It argues that the Oxford Protestants who arranged her reburial did so to intervene in the debate about clerical marriage, a debate in which they were only partially successful. Dammartin was one of the first and last wives to live in college for a very long time. Her story offers a reminder that despite the shift to clerical marriage, England's universities remained--somewhat distinctively within Protestant Europe--sites where celibacy continued as the norm: sites of homosocial bonding and fellowship that served as a counterpoint to otherwise dominant codes of masculine behaviour that privileged the Protestant paterfamilias. Catherine Dammartin entama sa vie adulte comme religieuse à Metz, mais elle mourut, mariée, dans un collège d'Oxford en 1553. Elle fut d'abord enterrée dans la cathédrale de Christ Church ; son corps fut par la suite exhumé parce qu'on considérait qu'il polluait l'endroit, avant d'être finalement restitué lors d'une cérémonie au cours de laquelle ses ossements furent mélangés à ceux de la vierge sainte Frideswide. Cet article revisite l'histoire de Dammartin pour déterminer ce qu'elle peut nous apprendre sur les dimensions affectives, sexuelles et liées aux problématiques de genre de la Réforme en Angleterre. Il défend que les protestants d'Oxford qui organisèrent sa seconde inhumation posèrent ce geste pour intervenir dans le débat sur le mariage des clercs, débat dans lequel ils ne parvinrent que partiellement à imposer leur point de vue. Dammartin fut l'une des premières et dernières épouses à vivre à Oxford pendant une longue période. Son histoire nous rappelle qu'en dépit du changement en faveur du mariage clérical, les universités anglaises demeurèrent des lieux où le célibat était la norme, occupant ainsi une place un peu à part au sein de l'Europe protestante. Ces lieux, caractérisés par l'homosocialité et la camaraderie, constituaient un contrepoint aux codes de comportements masculins, par ailleurs dominants, qui privilégiaient l'image du protestant en tant que paterfamilias.
