Countless companies have unlocked productivity, performance, and profits by implementing his 7 Pillar Strategy.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Chris Dyer discuss:

    Creating and maintaining a strong organizational culture in a hybrid work environment.Prioritizing employee well-being while maintaining high performance.Balancing between leadership and followership.Transparency, trust, and sense of belonging among remote workers.Misconceptions about leadership and the importance of empathy.

    Key Takeaways:

    Culture is defined by the norms and unseen behaviors of how work gets done. The speakers emphasized that culture isn't just the visible aspects like company values, but the unwritten rules and expectations around things like decision-making, communication styles, and handling challenges.Prioritizing work-life balance and avoiding burnout is important for engagement. Leaders need to actively prevent overwork and create flexibility. Leadership can be developed from within through small, project-based opportunities. Giving employees a chance to lead temporary projects and tasks helps identify potential and build skills with less pressure.Transparency and daily check-ins are important for building a remote culture. Regular communication that is open about challenges and priorities helps remote employees feel informed and connected to decision-making.Rather than getting lost in technical details, leaders should help employees understand how innovations may shape their work overall so they can adapt mentally to ongoing disruption.

    "Culture is the norms and behaviors and the unseen things that happen or don't happen when we get our work done.” — Chris Dyer

  • About Wendi Swanson:

    Wendi Swanson, currently living in Orlando, is an internationally recognized strategic leadership consultant, facilitator, and program developer, with a focus on unleashing the heartbeat of every organization—its people. Through authenticity and intentionality (with a little edge!), Wendi encourages a human-centered approach to growth, dials down on change systems, and redefines what it means to be a leader.

    For the last two decades, she has worked with executive leaders to develop high-potential teams and organizational growth strategies. She has facilitated workshops using simultaneous (concurrent) translation in Russian, French and Spanish and has worked with companies in Russia, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Korea, and the United States.

    Wendi has worked with companies such as Godiva Chocolatier, Best Buy, Yankee Candle, Ashley Furniture, David Yurman New York, La-Z-Boy Home Furnishings, and more. Wendi has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Marketing from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Wendi Swanson discuss:

    The challenges leaders face in inspiring followership and driving meaningful change post-COVIDThe importance of a human-centered approach to growth and redefining leadershipThe impact of AI and today's fast-paced market on leadership competenciesThe shift towards remote work and the challenges of maintaining company culture and effectively leading hybrid teamsThe growing movement of people rediscovering themselves, their purpose, and their relationships with others

    Key Takeaways:

    Leaders must adapt to the significant changes in the workforce brought about by COVID-19, such as the reduction in the market and the shift towards remote work and innovation.The hybrid work model has led to challenges in maintaining company culture and effectively leading teams, raising concerns about the long-term sustainability of this model and its impact on mental health and human connection.Leaders who intentionally invest in people, creating impact through influence and inspiration, can make a difference in culture and productivity.Effective coaching involves understanding the underlying mindsets and behaviors that impact performance, rather than simply telling someone to sell more or work harder.Changing employee beliefs about products or services is key to hitting sales targets, which can be achieved through positive and negative customer experiences that demonstrate the value of what's being offered.

    "Leadership can be measured through the willingness of others to follow and the impact a leader has on their team.” — Wendi Swanson

  • About Dr. Marcelo Hochman:

    Dr. Marcelo Hochman is a well-known speaker and double Board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon on a mission to build better medicine for patients and doctors, not just better business. Recognized by CNN, WSJ, and USA Today, Dr. Hochman led the national charge on providing PPE for medical staff during Covid and is the president of Indedocs, an organization founded to help provide more options for patients and doctors and disrupt the controlling and limiting healthcare bureaucracy.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Dr. Marcelo Hochman discuss:

    The challenges of leading a company, building a team, or enhancing your personal brand when dealing with injuries or illnessesThe benefits of independent healthcare practices for both care providers and patientsThe significance of physician autonomy in preventing burnout and the challenges faced by doctors working within large healthcare systemsThe importance of exposing medical students and residents to private practice to foster fulfilling medical careersThe financial challenges faced by hospitals and the goal to provide alternative healthcare options

    Key Takeaways:

    Independent physicians offer patients more personalized care, with better access, quality, and convenience compared to large hospital systems.Smaller, private practice outpatient facilities can provide more efficient and personalized care compared to hospital-run outpatient centers, which are often volume-driven.Eliminating non-compete agreements, revising certificate of need laws, and incentivizing charity care through tax credits for physicians could transform healthcare in rural states.Employment in system medicine often leads to frustration and burnout, while independent practice allows for autonomy and patient-focused care.Despite the trend of physicians becoming employed, there are still opportunities for independent practice, such as the repeal of certificate of need laws and the banning of non-compete clauses.

    "Patients prefer the ease of access, convenience, and continuity of care that independent practices provide.” — Dr. Marcelo Hochman

  • In the latest episode of "The Business of Intuition," host Dean Newlund and his guest, Ginine Capozzi, discuss a prevalent challenge in corporate training and development – the rapid decay of knowledge retention. Dean asserts that within a month, participants of traditional training workshops can lose up to 90% of the information they've learned. This startling statistic steers our discussion towards a vital question: How do we make training and development more impactful?

    About Ginine Capozzi :

She continues to push the boundaries of training excellence, using techniques like Whole BrainÂź Thinking, gamification, and e-learning to deliver dynamic and engaging content.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Ginine Capozzi discuss:

    Keeping Skills and Mindsets Alive

    Creating sustained impact from training doesn't stop at simply providing information; it involves reinforcement through continuous practice, reflection, and coaching.

    Headwinds Against Learning: Loneliness and Distraction

    Another significant challenge faced in the realm of training and development is what some might call a "pandemic of loneliness and isolation." These sociocultural shifts can significantly dampen an individual’s capacity to learn.

    The Influence of Voices in Training

    Making sure voices are heard and utilized within training sessions is another focus area discussed. By keeping participants engaged and focused, the effectiveness of training is greatly enhanced.

    Their Conclusion: Trusting the Ripple Effect

    The impact of training extends beyond the immediate creating a ripple effect we may not fully comprehend. Trust in the process and the unseen transformation can help organizations and trainers appreciate the long-term value of their efforts.

    "The easy answer would be like, one size fits all, go do it. 8 hours later, you come back a changed person
 Humans don't work that way. We work in incremental progress. That's why I really believe in shifting the metrics of thinking about how we look at training and development”

  • In this episode, our esteemed guest Rich Bruno, a seasoned supply chain leader who ran the New York City marathon in his early fifties, shares his profound journey and the lessons he's gleaned on becoming a well-balanced leader. Tune in to learn about Rich's inspiring journey and gain insights on creating a fulfilling work-life balance and planning for a fulfilling retirement.

    About Rich Bruno:

    As a 30-year career supply chain leader and recent Johnson & Johnson retiree, Rich led numerous teams and divisions, always focusing on talent management and development. For the last ten years, he’s been fortunate enough to live out his entrepreneurial spirit and lead two of the largest Max Challenge franchise locations as a successful Franchisee. In August 2019, he became a John Maxwell certified Coach, Speaker, and Trainer. In January 2020, he was honored to be appointed as First Vice President of the Old Bridge, Sayreville, and South Amboy Chamber of Commerce. The combination of Rich’s corporate experience, coupled with building successful businesses and helping to improve the lives of others through his coaching and consulting experience over the last four years, positions Rich to help C-suite executives, small business owners, leaders, and people looking to achieve work-life balance, and individuals planning their life post-retirement.

    Rich’s philosophy is to give more than you get, live an intentional life of continuous improvement and total fulfillment, and embrace challenges as opportunities, not problems.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Rich Bruno discuss:

    Running for a Cause

    Rich talks about his experience running the New York City marathon for Jar of Hope, a charity focused on battling Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

    The Essence of Well-Balanced Leadership

    Amidst the buzz around work-life balance and resilience, Rich and I delve into what truly constitutes a well-balanced leader—especially how to cut through fear and maintain equilibrium in both professional and personal spheres.

    Prioritizing for Fulfillment

    Rich retired at 55 to focus on family and his small business. His advice is to do what you love, adjust priorities to meet all your needs, and avoid getting trapped in a life of one-dimensional pursuits.

    Retirement and Identity

    It's a poignant reminder that planning and self-development are keys to a successful transition.

    Walking the Talk

    In our roles as influencers and coaches, we stress the need to practice what we preach. Personal investments often reflect on our professional guidance, reinforcing the message of leading by example.

    Energy and Self-Care

    It's about consciously making time for self-renewal to ensure the energy we give to others remains potent and pure.

    "That's what the well-balanced corporate leader is all about. The philosophy there is, that you can have a totally fulfilled life so long as you're different, self-aware, and you shift priorities to make sure you're addressing the things that you need for yourself.” — Rich Bruno

  • Tune in to the latest episode of "The Business of Intuition" where intuition meets strategy in the corporate world. Dean Newlund is joined by Susan Meier, a branding connoisseur hailing from the Big Apple, where the crossroads of art and business converge. Take advantage of this insightful dialogue that melds the imaginative mindset with corporate savvy, evidencing that the heart of successful branding lies within the innovative fusion of contrasting elements.

    About Susan Meier:

    Susan Hamilton Meier is a branding expert and career coach who helps women find the through-line of their work history, write a focused, memorable elevator pitch, and design a vision and action plan for the next phase of their journey.

    An alum of Harvard Business School, the Boston Consulting Group, and 20 years as a Fortune 500 brand strategist, Susan is now on a mission to empower other women to own their stories and unlock their promises.

    In this episode, Dean Newlund and Susan Meier discuss:

    Breaking the Mold at Harvard

    Susan narrates her serendipitous experience at Harvard Business School, defying the typical Myers-Briggs profiles you'd see in the business sphere, and how this outlier approach has advantageously shaped her career.

    Personas and Precision

    By focusing on the development of detailed personas, brands can achieve a tone of voice and message that truly connects with their audience, whether it's patients, nurses, or physicians in the healthcare industry.

    Untangling Messy Stories

    Whether you're at the corporate, small business, or CEO level, Susan's expertise lies in distilling convoluted narratives into clear, potent branding messages.

    With infinite possibilities but finite resources, prioritization is key. Learn to identify the vital few objectives that will propel your brand forward.

    "You can't create a brand that's for everyone. In fact, that's the definition of bad branding. Right. You need to have a point of view, a perspective. You need to say, this is for these folks, and it's not for these folks, because otherwise it's very hard for people to find you.” — Susan Meier
