Renee Schulte: Does intuition make better policies?
Renee Schulte has over 20 years of leadership experience as a therapist, policymaker, and consultant in the mental health field. Her work in the public and private sectors has given her a unique understanding of the policy complexities in this area. Renee is nationally recognized for her expertise in behavioral health policy, system design, approach and financial analysis, and strategic consulting. As a consultant, she has worked with multiple states creating strategic plans, legislation, and regulations. Her newest project, Making Healthier Policies, is designed to teach others how to develop healthy policy while navigating this hyper-partisan, overly political season. She and her husband, Brent, reside in Urbandale, Iowa.In this episode, Dean Newlund and Renee Schulte discuss:Struggles with coming back to the officeSuccessful resiliency programsBalancing the needs of the individual and the needs of the organizationTaking care of one’s health Key Takeaways:We need to start with communication. We can’t force people into a policy they don’t want and expect that things will go back to the way they were. Instead, we need to ask our people what will work for them if we’re going to maintain the strength and health of the organization.As a worker, you need to be the primary advocate of your health and communicate what will work best for you. As a manager, you need to realize that what works is different for each person.The organization cannot exist without the individuals; we have to prioritize each one’s health and well-being while at the same time setting the direction, laying the goals and plans for the future.Sleep more. If you sleep less than six hours, you’ll be three times more at risk of getting sick. "If we don’t have anything to give, then we’re not worth anything to our clients. So we have to take a step back." — Renee Schulte.

Christine Frazer: Intuitive Human Resources
Christine is a human resources strategist, author, public speaker, and consultant. Breaking down the barriers of human resources has become Christine’s mission. She isn’t afraid to have hard conversations, engage in taboo topics, and keep things real with her clients. Christine will write your employee handbook, provide training, help develop HR strategy and be there to help you handle the most challenging HR issues. Her unique approach to HR, people, and use of humor to convey complicated concepts is what has kept her in this intense career for over three decades.In this episode, Dean Newlund and Christine Frazer discuss:What one can learn from working as HR in a prison system Using intuition in hiring people and cultivating new employeesHiring people for culture amid a crisisStanding out in the pandemic job rush Key Takeaways:To be a good HR person, you need to learn every component of the business. You need to know everything about how the whole operation works to be able to support people well. Speak the language of the other departments so that you could communicate well together. Go with your gut in hiring, and be mindful when they get into your organization. Then, cultivate a good employee out of them. It depends on the organization’s situation, but generally, it’s so much more beneficial in the long run to hire people to be a fit in the company culture. There’s been many interview “ghosting” happening right now - the first step to getting hired is by actually showing up, being presentable, and being on time. Act like you want to have a job, be sincere about it. "This is an exciting time for intuition in hiring… we need to look for those gems that are out there. Be willing to take a chance on somebody that maybe their resume isn’t that great… this is a good opportunity for somebody who wants to work and has never got a break." — Christine Frazer.

Nick Morgan: Being Heard in a Virtual World
Nick Morgan: About Dr. Nick Morgan: He is one of America’s top communication theorists and coaches. He is a passionate teacher committed to helping people find clarity in their thinking and ideas and then delivering them with panache. Fortune 50 companies have commissioned him to write for many CEOs and presidents. He has coached people to give Congressional testimony, appear on the Today Show, and deliver unforgettable TED talks. He has worked widely with political and educational leaders. And he has himself spoken, led conferences, and moderated panels at venues around the world. His latest book, on virtual communication, is Can You Hear Me? published by Harvard in 2018. Nick’s methods, which are well-known for challenging conventional thinking, have been published worldwide. His acclaimed book on public speaking, Working the Room: How to Move People to Action through audience-centered Speaking, was published by Harvard in 2003 and reprinted in paperback in 2005 as Give Your Speech, Change the World: How to Move Your Audience to Action. His book on authentic communications, Trust Me, was published by Jossey-Bass in January 2009. His book on brain science and communication, Power Cues, was published by Harvard in 2014. Nick served as editor of the Harvard Management Communication Letter from 1998 – 2003. In addition, he has written hundreds of articles for local and national publications. Nick is a former Fellow at the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. After earning his PhD. in literature and rhetoric, Nick spent several years teaching Shakespeare and Public Speaking at the University of Virginia, Lehigh University, and Princeton University. He first started writing speeches for Virginia Governor Charles S. Robb and found his own communications consulting organization, Public Words, in 1997. Nick attributes his success to his honest and direct approach that challenges even the most confident orators to rethink how they communicate. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Nick Morgan discuss:Blindspots in communication Some tips on dealing with nerves Overcoming limitations in virtual communications Delegating tasks during a meeting Key Takeaways:Our fear response when communicating is a primordial instinct that is not relevant in our current day anymore. The tribe will not leave you to die to apex predators if you say something the wrong way anymore. Redefine nervousness into a feeling of fun, thrill, or excitement - like lining up for a rollercoaster ride. Virtual communications mess with our senses, and that affects our ability to communicate well and understand others. To combat this, play with the space a bit, use more hand gestures and try not to look at the screen that shows your face. Delegate an MC to keep track of and encourage audience participation in the meeting. It has to be someone other than the speaker, and it would be too much to handle for one person. "All virtual relationships degrade over time; you need to have face-to-face meetings with business folks you have long-term relationships with." — Nick Morgan.

Fear is a disabler of intuition, and courage is an enabler. The number one organization to make their people leave is by not telling them anything and not setting any expectations. You’re not supposed to know everything. It’s alright to admit if there are questions you don’t have the answers to. "A successful facilitator will get people to create their data for which they believe, and then they retain it, and they want to deploy it, they want to align with other people, they want to use that data and move forward. That’s the art of facilitation." — Tina Clements.

Dane Jensen: Why pressure isn't the problem, it's the solution
Dane Jensen is the CEO of Third Factor, an acclaimed speaker, an instructor at Queen’s University and the University of North Carolina, a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review and The Power of Pressure (HarperCollins).Dane oversees Third Factor’s leadership development programs to leading firms across North America, including SAP, RBC, Uber, Twitter, the USGA, etc. In addition, he teaches in the Full-Time and Executive MBAs at Queen’s Smith School of Business in Canada. He is Affiliate Faculty with UNC Executive Development at the Kenan-Flagler Business School in Chapel Hill.In addition to his corporate work, Dane works extensively with athletes, coaches, leaders, and Boards across Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic sport system to enhance National competitiveness. He has worked as an advisor to Senior Executives in 23 countries on five continents and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dane Jensen discuss:The different types and flavors of pressureSeeing patterns in pressure How to make your pressure an ally rather than a foeManaging conflict productively Key Takeaways:Pressure can be uncomfortable, and there are downsides, but what gets people through high-pressure times is the energy that comes with the stress. Bring your pressure into awareness. Once you’re aware of what you’re feeling, you can give yourself the freedom to choose. Harness pressure as an energy, or get burned by it. As a leader, when you see negative emotion in your team, you want to surface it and figure out what you can do with it. When resolving conflict, you have two good options. First, you can have some space and wait for each other to cool down. Or you can also try bringing your emotions into awareness and choose to switch into the perspective that others might be right. You don’t have to agree with what others believe, but until you’re able to bring people into a place where they feel like they’re being heard and that you understand, it’s doubtful that they’ll be open to influence or understand you as well. "Pressure is a form of energy; it’s a double-edged sword. Electricity can heat our house, run our stove and our air-conditioning but it can also burn your house down. Because it is energy, it can be helpful, but if left unchecked, it can lead to the garden path." — Dane Jensen.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Parneet Pal discuss:Current trends in stress and burnout in the workplace Positive and Negative stress Why we should build resilience to stress in the workplaceWhat we can do to build strength to stress and avoid burnout Key Takeaways:Stress is every day, but it's dangerous to get used to it. Stress can be alleviated with a variety of solutions. By increasing your resilience to stress, you increase your tolerance and feel fewer adverse effects. Building resilience to stress has a great return of investment both to the organization and the individual. Encouraging people to take from their time to take care of themselves is not enough. Corporations need to find a way to incorporate mindfulness and other stress-relieving practices into their workers’ schedules and overall workplace culture. Start meetings and corporate gatherings with gratitude and checking in on each other how each one is feeling. "The teams that were able to navigate adversity in skillful ways are the ones that took the time to say “Wait for a second before we get to the agenda, how are you?” even little moments of check-in can be compelling ways to engage into that kind of mindful awareness and listening" — Parneet Pal.

Denise Bestwick: The Neuroscience of Intuition
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.

As one of the largest wellness companies in the world, Vitality brings a dynamic and diverse perspective through partnerships with the most forward-thinking insurers and employers. Blending industry-leading smart tech, data, incentives, and behavioral science, Vitality inspires healthy changes in individuals and their organizations. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Stephen Mitchley discuss:Helping people find more motivations to choose healthilyMental health is health care Creating inclusivity in society Good leadership practices Key Takeaways:Often the fear of death is not enough for people to choose healthily. They need incentives and benefits to be guided towards that effort. The most effective way to guide behavior change is to use a mixture of benefit and fear of loss towards a positive goal. Health is not just about the body but also of the mind Leadership is all about give and take - you can’t give all the answers, and you can’t just keep taking feedback without direction.
