No, it's the opposite. An iambic phrase is when the second syllable is stressed, not the first. "Pushy people" is trochee (also called choree) poetic meter, in which the first of two syllables is stressed.
This means each line contains five units of iambic rhythm, with an iambic foot consisting of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. An example would be the line "To be or not to be" in which each unit (foot) follows the iambic pattern.
