CREATING SPECTATOR-FREE WORKPLACES™ SINCE 1998

Give Rise to Gen Z in 2026 Through Internships

As entry-level jobs become more competitive, internships for college students are also growing more scarce. Data from platforms such as Handshake shows significant declines in internship listings–particularly in technology and professional services.

Dulye & Co. and the Dulye Leadership Experience (DLE) have long been advocates for building the skills and capabilities of next-generation leaders through paid internships that are substantive in responsibility, driven by deadlines and quality standards, and aligned with the same expectations of professionalism as staff.

For our dozens of intern alumni, the impact has been clear. These experiences have helped them transition successfully into the workplace with secured jobs, increased confidence, and a strong professional network.

See for yourself how even the smallest aspects of a well-designed internship can spark excitement, learning, and growth for Gen Z. Explore our Intern Experience video series, featuring Communications Intern Ella Verinder, a Smith College freshman, as she shares an inside look at what meaningful internship development can look like.

Dulye & Co. President Addresses CEO Forum on Connection Crisis in the Workplace

Dulye & Co. President Linda Dulye will headline the Gulf Coast CEO Forum in Sarasota, FL, on Feb. 25, delivering practical strategies to confront one of today’s most disruptive workplace challenges: employee disengagement.
 
Her interactive workshop, The Predator Killing Your Company’s Productivity: How to Eliminate Spectators at Work, explores the root causes of declining engagement and equips leaders with ready-to-apply tools to strengthen feedback, collaboration, and accountability across their organizations.
 
Workplace disengagement and social isolation have emerged as national concerns with measurable business consequences. With actively engaged U.S. employees reported at a 10-year low of 31%, many organizations face a growing connection crisis within and across teams. Dulye’s session focuses on how leaders can reverse this trend by restoring meaningful human interactions and shared ownership of goal achievement.
 
Founder of Dulye & Co., a consultancy recognized for transforming workplace breakdowns into measurable performance gains, Dulye is the architect of the Spectator-Free Workplace™ methodology. Her approach emphasizes two-way communication, forward-focused thinking, and accountability frameworks that improve productivity and bottom-line results.
 
Dulye is also the founder of the Dulye Leadership Experience, a pro bono professional development organization producing fee-free learning and development resources to help multi-generational professionals connect and build career ownership.
 
The Gulf Coast CEO Forum is a peer network of senior executives representing diverse industries. The organization convenes leaders to address shared workforce and leadership challenges through education, collaboration, and professional exchanges.

The 4S Process™ for Productive Performance Reviews

NEW FOR 2026

Most performance reviews fail. They are rushed, uncomfortable, quickly forgotten and put employees in the spectator seat.

Our 4S Process™ for Productive Performance Reviews changes the dynamic. Built on Dulye & Co.’s proven Spectator-Free™ Framework, both managers and employees prepare for meaningful discussions using four elements:

  • Successes – What’s working well
  • Stumbles – Current challenges 
  • Suggestions – Development opportunities
  • Support – Resources and coaching needed


Employees become active partners in their growth. That’s engagement that lasts.

Our interactive workshops–designed for live, in-person or virtual delivery–equip managers to:

  • Lead open, constructive performance conversations with confidence
  • Use the 4S tools to plan and conduct productive 30-minute sessions
  • Ask better questions and actively listen
  • Build trust through consistent, ongoing coaching


Transform your performance management in 2026. Today’s workforce expects regular feedback and development–not annual surprises.  

Explore our approach and schedule your complimentary 30-minute consultation to learn how the 4S Process™ integrates with your organization’s performance management system.

DULYE IN THE NEWS

Helping Small Businesses Advance in 2026

Supporting small business owners as they confidently move into the new year was a central focus of the Unlocking Capital for Small Business in the Berkshires event, sponsored on Jan. 14th by the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center.

Wearing two hats—as a small business owner and a Pittsfield Economic Development Corporation (PERC) board member—Dulye & Co. President Linda Dulye joined Brandon Gill, Pittsfield Community Development Specialist, at the PERC information booth at the Berkshire Innovation Center. The conversations were energizing, practical, and grounded in real-world challenges and opportunities.

“I especially enjoyed hearing from Jackie Goetze, Manager of Peace Train Tees, about the bold growth moves her family-owned custom printing and embroidery business is making after more than a decade of operation. Her story is a powerful reminder that resilience, adaptability, and access to the right resources fuel sustainable growth,” Linda shared.

With more than 100 attendees, the event delivered exactly what small business owners need most—new connections, shared experiences, and actionable insights to help them move forward with confidence in 2026.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"It is not surprising that five of the 40 Under Forty honorees are Dulye Leadership Experience alum. Linda Dulye is a tireless cheerleader for and mentor of millennials, helping them develop leadership and interpersonal skills and nurturing great practices such as in-person conversations, inclusiveness and giving back to one's community. Those of us looking forward to retiring in a few years should be grateful for this unique woman who is grooming the next generation of leaders."
Liana ToscaniniFounder and Executive Director of the Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires
"Our class of budding entrepreneurs is always inspired by Linda (Dulye)'s class on presentation skills.  She creates such a positive, encouraging energy and helps them tell their story as effectively as possible.  We are so lucky to have her as a teacher – 4 times now and counting."
Deborah GallantExecutive Director, EforAll Berkshire County
“Linda's ideas and attitude brought some light into the unknown future.”
LyndaNorthwestern Publishing House
“New and innovative ideas about how to deal with so many different dynamics and situations that we are facing.”
CherylSMA Architects
“Linda Dulye is a great, engaging speaker. I appreciate that she used her slides as talking points rather than recite the words as they are shown.”
AnastasiaRivet Works, Inc.
“I like the examples of how to overcome the obstacles presented with working remotely. There was language to express the feelings and an understanding that many were having shared experiences. Also, the confirmation that what worked in the physical workplace may not work remotely.”
CherylTechSoft Systems
"I loved Linda's presentation! Her energy made it engaging. She sounded passionate in what she was sharing with the audience.  Linda Dulye was a burst of energy and had simple ideas that you could implement immediately.  It was great to put her between two more content-heavy presentations.  I thought the presentations were relevant and especially loved Linda's presentation. It definitely hit home.”
Basia PokornyDirector of Marketing, GCG Financial, LLC
“This has been a great experience working with Linda Dulye and Nicole Laureyns. The experience and ideas you brought to the table to help understand our root causes of the low Q12 survey were nothing short of exceptional. Not only did you help drive data collection, you also helped formulate an action plan to correct the deficiencies. My hats off to you all, we could not have done this without your help.”
Steve PayseurSenior Engineering Manager, General Dynamics Mission Systems
