A year later at the age of seventeen, he began working at the local clubs as a bouncer in a town renowned for its late-night street fighting. A profession he continued for the next ten years in clubs from London to the U.S. Forged from his experiences, twenty years later, after also studying Boxing, Judo, Thai-boxing and Filipino weapons fighting in his desire to find the most effective street fighting system, Martin met Vladimir Vasiliev, the former Russian Special Operative demonstrating Systema at a seminar and knew he had witnessed something strange, unique and absolutely lethal in any environment. After over two decades of training in Systema Martin now teaches his highly effective combat solutions from his training facility at The Academy Beverly Hills.

Katharine Halpin grew up in Mississippi in a dysfunctional family. Because she had demonstrated so much leadership at home, her Dad took her to work on Saturday mornings in his CPA firm when she was about 9-years old. From the baggage she accumulated working for her Dad, she has built a body of work to accelerate the growth of people, teams and companies. She left her CPA career in 1995 to fill a void she saw everyday in the workplace. Leaders were focused on the financial and legal aspects of corporate growth but never focused on the people aspects. She is an expert in getting the right people in the right roles, focused on the right priorities. Katharine has been bringing order to chaos since she was 5-years old and she said to herself while standing in her Momma's messy kitchen, "Some body has got to make a few decisions around here!"In this episode, Dean Newlund and Katharine discuss:Addressing people issues by developing good habits in self-alignment, positive mindset, personal actions, and team alignment.Arriving early and brain dumping for more rational and calmer thought.Help everyone by giving them the tools to be successful at work.Needs assessment, finding out where the needs and gaps are in business, and helping to build a better future. Key Takeaways:Give up the multitasking, stop racing around, slow down to take care of yourself, and enjoy your family.Companies sometimes prohibit growth when their people are in a frenzied maniac mode and don’t feel they have time to balance work and family.Get out into nature and elevate your heart rate every day.Arrive early, brain dump, calendar, commitments review, project work time, 5p’s, strategic think time, problem solve, delegate, close the gaps. "Turning obstacles into opportunities and bringing order to chaos." —  Katharine Halpin  See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7IConnect with Katharine Halpin:  Website: HalpinCompany.comFacebook: Katharine HalpinLinkedIn: Katharine HalpinPhone: 602-266-1961Book: Respond Not React Playbook          Alignment for Success  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: 1-800-926-7370Show notes by Podcastologist: Kristen Braun  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

There are two quotes that set the tone for this week’s The Business of intuition: “How you do one thing is how you do everything.”, which I heard from a yoga instructor, and, “wherever you go, there you are”, which is the title of a book by Jon Kabat-Zinn.   Both quotes tell us:  We can never escape ourselves,Every action, relationship, experience contains a lesson,And, if we want to change the outside world, we first need to change ourselves. My guest this week on The Business of Intuition teaches based on these principles.  Mr. Scott Gonzalez is a 7th degree black belt and owner of Desert Dragons Kenpo Karate. Scott conducts Kenpo seminars worldwide, and teaches hundreds of students, young and old, every week.  His art is not just Kenpo Karate, but the art of facilitating, seeing and drawing out the best in people, and helping his students make the connection between what happens on the karate mat and what happens at work, school or at home with family.  In this fascinating discussion Scott shares many gems about life, art, intuition and reaching one’s highest and best potential.   In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Gonzalez discuss: Be present. This is where all innovation, creativity and connection happen,Take people where they are at, not where you want them to be,Help people transition from analytical to intuitive thinking. Provide a foundation (for karate that might be a foundation of techniques, kicking, striking, footwork), then encourage learning through asking questions, and give them time to learn at their own pace,Develop a personal relationship with everyone you work with,“Don’t be in fight”, when confronted with conflict. Negative energy meeting negative energy only creates more.  You can still maintain boundaries and hold people accountable without being in the fight. In fact, it’s more effective if you don’t match their negative energy,Create a personal challenge.  People won’t push themselves, won’t have the desire to transform if they don’t have a goal that will challenge them,Learn through your body. The physical holds the unconscious patterns and blocks.  By introducing new movement patterns, you break old physical and emotional patterns. Key Takeaways:Being in a state of flow while assessing clients. Having a heightened sense of awareness, accessing the intuition, tuning into your feeling, and senses.Tuning into your mind and body’s ability to meld around things. Be able to move and not absorb negative energy, instead, allowing it to go through or around you.Use language in a way that helps people think in a different way through using their senses using their brains to create an image or story. Build a personal relationship by giving your undivided attention. Make every person that you are working with feel special, even if it’s just for a few seconds. Create direction by providing a challenge in building toward larger goals to enable a stronger person to emerge.  "Combat is a battle of energy. Defend yourself but don’t engage in with the energy of anger and revenge.”   —  Scott Gonzalez  See Dean’s TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Scott Gonzalez:  Website: DesertDragonsAZ.comEmail: Scott@Desertdragonsaz.comFacebook: Scott Gonzalez                 Desert Dragons Kenpo KaratePhone: 623-670-7979  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: 1-800-926-7370Show notes by Podcastologist: Kristen Braun  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
