About Denise Bestwick: As an executive coach, strategic business partner, and people-lover, Denise believes in self-actualization as the essential endeavor to effective organizational leadership. Denise promotes authentic leadership with a simple skills foundation:  Listen, Learn and Love.  After a 35-year career leading organizations in the life sciences, she is now a solopreneur on a mission to guide leaders and organizations to be the best they can be. Denise knows this path will look very different from leader to leader, and company to company. A one-size-fits-all approach to leadership rarely works. Loving the uniqueness in each human, she strives to discover their brilliance and reveal how they can live and lead in congruence with their values and authentic self. Denise is particularly passionate about entrepreneurs and company founders, having naturally landed roles as the right-hand-woman to company owners and CEOs for decades. Without knowing it was coaching, she guided them, both intuitively and strategically, through a robust and trusting relationship.  Denise is a Certified Professional Co-active Coach (CPCC) and a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach (CPQC). With this exceptional training as her foundation, she is on a mission to show leaders how to change the internal, fear-based dialogue in their heads and point them to a path of ease and flow in their lives.In this episode, Dean Newlund and Denise Bestwick discuss:The demand for consultation compared to coaching - has the pandemic killed coaching? Why coaching is so much better How to listen to people better Brain hacks to cultivate positive intelligence  Key Takeaways:In coaching, the information comes more from within the coachee. The coach’s job is just to ask good questions. Coaching allows people’s potential to show up. People already have what they need to become transformed, all stored inside, undiscovered. Be fully present when listening to others, don’t spend your time thinking about what to say next while talking. Train your brain to notice when inner mental saboteurs are hijacking you to snap back into the attention of the moment.  "You want people to arrive at their potential authentically because then they’re going to be using their strengths to the max. They will flow better." —  Denise Bestwick.  See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7IConnect with Denise Bestwick:   Website: https://bestwickconsulting.com/Email: Denise@bestwickconsulting.comConnect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Dean Newlund is the founder and CEO of Mission Facilitators International, a boutique training and development firm based out of Phoenix, Arizona, with the sole purpose of helping organizations become more connected to their purpose and their people. Dean also has a popular podcast called The Business of Intuition. Dean is grounded in these beliefs: that when we understand our purpose, acknowledge our truth, honor our intuition and forge genuine connections with others, we all have the power to transform our lives and the workplace. As each person cultivates new mindsets and new skills, the fabric of our society is gradually repaired.In this episode, Dean Newlund discusses:The current challenge for today’s leaders and managers The difference between coaching, therapy and mentoringHow to do effective coaching and what good coaching looks like The five steps of making coaching work Key Takeaways:It’s a lot easier to be an effective coach if you know what it’s like to be coached. The first step to being a good coach is by being on the receiving end of good coaching. A good characteristic of a good coachee is someone who can turn feedback into positive change Behavior follows perception - people won’t change their behavior unless they change their perception or mindset. As a coach, you’re not supposed to coach for the sake of increasing the client or team member’s performance to make yourself look good. Healthy coaching is all about helping people develop personally. When coaching, remember to ask and not tell.  "Coaching is all about saying ‘I don’t have the answers. I’m just a Sherpa helping you find your answer. I won’t bring my issues, my desires, my need for control in the conversation. I need it to be about you. I need to let you find your way.’" —  Dean Newlund  See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7IConnect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370  See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

As each person cultivates new mindsets and new skills, the fabric of our society is gradually repaired.In this episode, Dean Newlund discusses:How will our companies be different as we come back to our workplaces due to being in lockdown? Work-from-home’s psychological effect on people - the line between work and home is now fading if not gone. Meetings and their value to people and how much more critical it is to learn how to improve in running meetings right now in the pandemicBurnout, fear, and boldly moving forward even when you’re afraid.The kind of leadership that companies need these days. How to allow innovation, imagination, and creativity in the workplace.  Key Takeaways:One of every company’s most significant needs today is learning how to connect better through virtual means - both in conducting productive meetings and providing emotional support to employees who need it.It’s alright to be afraid - express your fear but don’t let your fear affect how you make your decisions. Stepping out of psychological isolation is necessary - use the common fear to build relationships and have a stronger connection with others.Heroic leadership - leadership that’s empathic, compassionate, and gives people a safe space to give ideas but is also consistent, firm, and unwavering when it comes to “non-negotiable” things. Giving ideas is a vulnerable action. Innovation and creativity require that you provide somebody space to be able to share ideas freely without fear. Remember the “yes, and” technique.  "Heroic leadership is not about being war-like, dominating... It means being able to lead, find a vision, and doing the right thing even in adversity." —  Dean Newlund. Herculean and Buddha Leadership by Dr. Martha Maznevski: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWXKMLIX3ZQ   See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I  Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370   See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
