    Christian Muntean: Train to Lead: Unlocking Peak Leadership Performance

    About Christian Muntean: Christian Muntean is an advisor to owners, executives, and boards. As the founder of Vantage Consulting, Christian has empowered owners and executives of small and medium-sized businesses to boost their top-line revenues by over $500 million. Even more valuable, they've achieved this while expanding their bottom-line margins and reclaiming precious time for their loved ones and passions. He is also an author. His most recent book, "Train to Lead," is a tested and proven 90-day leadership development guide built on athletic training principles. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Christian Muntean discuss: Structured approaches to leadership development Applying athletic training principles to leadership Effective conflict management in leadership Building sustainable leadership habits and preventing burnout Measuring leadership success through stakeholder perception Key Takeaways: Leadership development should follow a structured and sequenced approach, similar to athletic training, rather than a random collection of skills and concepts. Conflict resolution is not just about interpersonal skills but often stems from organizational culture and structural issues, which must be addressed first. Leaders should focus on managing their energy rather than just time, incorporating recovery and pacing to avoid burnout and maximize performance. Leadership success should be measured by stakeholder perception and ongoing feedback rather than just business results or internal self-assessment. "Leadership is not so much a skill, it’s who you are, and if you want to be an effective leader, you have to really build yourself as a person.” — Christian Muntean Connect with Christian Muntean:  Website: https://www.christianmuntean.com/ Email: christian@christianmuntean.com Book: Train to Lead: https://www.christianmuntean.com/exclusive-sneak-peek-train-to-lead-where-fitness-meets-leadership/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianmuntean/ 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/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkw Website: 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/deannewlund Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/ Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.com Phone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Tim Whitmire: Purpose Under Pressure: Transforming Leadership in High-Pressure Companies

    About Tim Whitmire: Tim Whitmire is the co-founder of F3 Nation, a global network of free, peer-led workout groups for men that has expanded to tens of thousands of participants worldwide. In 2018, he founded CXN Advisory, a consultancy focused on helping CEOs and leaders align on strategic objectives, drawing from his experience as a college rower and his role as an organizational “coxswain.” After suffering a serious stroke during heart surgery in 2022, Whitmire’s recovery deepened his commitment to prioritizing relational over transactional approaches in life and leadership. A Harvard graduate and California native, he is the co-author of Freed to Lead: F3 and the Unshackling of the Modern-day Warrior and is working on a new book, The 91 Percent Solution. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Tim Whitmire discuss: Growth through transformative life events Community as a remedy for isolation The power of relational leadership practices Sustainable effort as a path to success Transforming workplace culture to foster connection Key Takeaways: Physical fitness and strong, authentic relationships provide vital support during recovery from life-changing challenges, fostering resilience and growth. Structured communities address loneliness by creating opportunities for meaningful relationships, shared purpose, and mutual support. Leadership that focuses on relational connections rather than transactional interactions builds trust, engagement, and stronger teams. Prioritizing sustainable effort through approaches like the “91% Solution” promotes balanced achievement, long-term productivity, and personal well-being. "I feel like that 91 percent expectation is a reasonable standard. If you're hitting things with 91 percent consistency and expect that of other people, I think that's acceptable.” — Tim Whitmire Connect with Tim Whitmire:  Website: https://www.cxnadvisory.com/ Email: tim@cxnadvisory.com X (Twitter): https://x.com/trwhitmire_obt & https://x.com/advisorycxn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cxn_advisory 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/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkw Website: 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/deannewlund Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/ Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.com Phone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Jonathan Romley: Transform Your Hiring Game and Adapting Leadership for the Remote and Global Workforce

    About Jonathan Romley: Jonathan Romley is a globally recognized expert in talent management and the future of work. As the founder of Lundi, a firm specializing in innovative strategies for cross-border talent acquisition, he has revolutionized how companies attract, retain, and develop top talent. His methodologies have proven transformative for organizations of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500 companies, enabling them to build diverse and competitive workforces. Known for blending strategic foresight with actionable solutions, Jonathan is a trusted advisor and thought leader in the global market. He is also a passionate advocate for inclusive and equitable workplaces, frequently sharing his insights at international conferences and in leading industry publications. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Jonathan Romley discuss: Strategies for identifying roles suited for international talent Building a cohesive global workplace culture across time zones Balancing cost efficiency with localized benefits in global hiring Addressing engagement challenges in fully remote teams The role of technology in enhancing remote team collaboration Key Takeaways: Competitive benefits aligned with local norms, like multi-sport cards in Poland or meal tickets in Brazil, are essential for retention in international markets. International hiring often succeeds when companies research and adapt to market-specific legal frameworks and employment preferences, such as contractor roles versus full-time positions. Younger workers are drawn to mission-driven companies that prioritize social impact over pure profit-making, reflecting a shift in workplace values. Regularly organized offsites—whether virtual or in-person—are essential for creating connection and combating isolation in distributed teams. "Generations view work as an identity—what I do, my job, is part of my identity. For Gen Z, work is a place to get money; it’s not their identity, and they’ve entered the workforce with this mindset.” — Jonathan Romley Connect with Jonathan Romley:  Website: https://www.hellolundi.com/ Book: Winning The Global Talent War: https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Global-Talent-War-Competitive/dp/B0D6P2XG4K LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanromley/ 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/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkw Website: 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/deannewlund Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/ Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.com Phone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Chip Conley: Midlife Reinvention Blueprint

    About Chip Conley: Chip Conley is a renowned entrepreneur, best-selling author, and dynamic speaker celebrated for his innovative approach to leadership and hospitality. He founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality, transforming a single boutique hotel into the second-largest boutique hotel brand in the United States. In 2013, he joined Airbnb as Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy, mentoring its Millennial founders and guiding the company to become the world’s most valuable hospitality brand. Inspired by his own midlife journey and experiences, Chip co-founded the Modern Elder Academy (MEA) in 2018, the world’s first midlife wisdom school. Located in Baja California, MEA helps individuals navigate midlife transitions and cultivate a renewed sense of purpose. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Chip Conley discuss: Happiness, Wisdom, and Emotional Growth in the Second Half of Life The role of emotional intelligence in aging and leadership Cultivating awe and wisdom Redefining aging and the midlife experience Social infrastructure and community building Key Takeaways: The "U-curve of happiness" shows that after hitting a low point around age 47-50, people often experience increasing happiness due to emotional intelligence and growing contentment. Midlife can be seen as a chrysalis for personal transformation, offering opportunities to repurpose one’s life rather than succumbing to societal narratives of crisis. Viewing friendship as a practice, with intentional deep conversations and emotional openness, strengthens connections and provides resilience during challenges. Reframing aging involves shifting from a negative perception of decline to a positive focus on growth, allowing midlife to become a transformative period for cultivating wisdom, discovering purpose, and fostering meaningful connections.

    Sally Reid: Unlocking Intuition: ADHD, Emotional Intelligence, and Quantum Healing

    About Sally Reid: In a world of faking it til you make it, Sally Reid believes there is another, much faster way to achieve what you seek. A lifelong psychic, Sally survived two near-death experiences and as a result, is able to track and manipulate energy. For the past 15 years, Sally has been using her rare gifts to facilitate dramatic rapid change for her clients. She swiftly shifts personal struggles or emotional challenges in weeks not years. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Sally Reid discuss: The connection between intuition and personal well-being Transformative impacts on perception and consciousness ADHD, sensitivity, and their relationship to intuitive abilities Releasing stored emotional pain through energy-focused methods Teaching children to recognize and process emotions Key Takeaways: Intuition can be experienced as physical sensations, such as gut feelings, that serve as an internal warning system, powered by the gut-brain connection and external vibrations. ADHD and heightened sensitivity provide a different way of processing information, enabling individuals to pick up on subtle energetic or emotional signals that others often miss. Trauma is frequently stored in the body as unprocessed "standing waves" of energy, which can be disrupted and released using specific techniques to facilitate healing. Parents can cultivate emotional intelligence in children by teaching them to identify where they feel emotions in their bodies, encouraging body awareness and emotional processing early in life. "If you have issues with boundaries, a lot of times you are overwhelmed and not in your body, so the first thing I do is teach you how to get back to feeling your body.” — Sally Reid Connect with Sally Reid:  Website:  https://www.sallyreid.com/ Sally’s mastermind, Energize, helps powerful creators access the quantum field’s potential and work together to amplify results.

  6. Tiffany Sauder: Managing Career, Family, and Self Without Burnout

    JAN 14

    Tiffany Sauder: Managing Career, Family, and Self Without Burnout

    About Tiffany Sauder: Tiffany Sauder is a wife, mom, entrepreneur, CEO, board member, investor, podcast host and keynote speaker. For twenty years, she and her husband have been building their companies and their family on the exact same timeline. That means four kids, three businesses and two careers, all building towards one abundant “Life of And”. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Tiffany Sauder discuss: Work-life balance and intentional living Managing overlapping priorities Overcoming unbalanced characters in personal and professional roles Practical strategies for family and career management Creating systems to simplify mundane tasks for greater focus on meaningful goals Key Takeaways: Tiffany's framework centers around three interconnected circles: career, self, and family, to achieve harmony in the overlapping "balanced life of and". Three common patterns of imbalance include the Grumpy Servant (career and family-focused), the Lonely Achiever (career and self-focused), and the Fearful Loyalist (self and family-focused), each requiring distinct strategies for balance. Setting "minimums" for self-care and family involvement ensures consistent progress, even during the busiest or most difficult times. Implementing systems like regular home maintenance schedules or outsourcing repetitive tasks reduces stress and creates more time for meaningful activities. "One of the things that has worked best for me is setting minimums instead of goals for self-care, health, exercise, etc... I know what’ll catch me when everything falls apart—I get distracted, busy, and set traps so those things don’t fall off my calendar. It’s almost non-negotiable—and I’ll do anything to make it happen.” — Tiffany Sauder Connect with Tiffany Sauder: Website: https://tiffanysauder.com/ Email: tiffany@tiffanysauder.com & tiffany@elementthree.com Show: Scared Confident Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scared-confident/id1555762235 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanysauder Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffany.sauder/ 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/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkw Website: 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/deannewlund Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannewlund/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/ Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.com Phone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Norman Wolfe: Transforming Business with The Living Organization

    About Norman Wolfe: Norman Wolfe is the founder and CEO of Quantum Leaders, Inc., a strategy execution consulting company dedicated to transforming the core paradigm of business. A recognized expert in leadership and organizational performance, Norman is the author of "The Living Organization: Transforming Business to Create Extraordinary Results." With a career spanning roles as CEO, corporate director, and advisor, he has guided numerous companies through major transitions, driving substantial growth and market expansion. Norman's passion is to unleash the human spirit in business, helping organizations evolve into dynamic, creative living systems. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Norman Wolfe discuss: Shifting from mechanistic to living system models Challenges of balancing remote work and culture Organizations as ecosystems with relationships at the core Leadership's role in fostering growth and empowerment Embedding purpose and impact in business strategy Key Takeaways: Many organizations unconsciously follow outdated Industrial Revolution paradigms prioritizing efficiency over human engagement, resulting in a 70% failure rate in achieving strategic goals. Remote work offers autonomy and engagement benefits, but leaders often revert to control-based models due to difficulty managing culture and trust in virtual environments. Viewing organizations as living systems shifts leadership focus from productivity metrics to fostering creativity, innovation, and meaningful impact. The Living Organization model emphasizes replacing mechanistic approaches with principles that align leadership, culture, and systems around human dignity and purposeful outcomes. "We're out to transform the environment so that it creates better results and simultaneously supports and enhances the dignity of the human spirit, releasing its creative potential.” — Norman Wolfe Connect with Norman Wolfe: Website: http://www.quantumleaders.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbnRB_fX-9ZKMf5hvCwHLKg LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wolfe Book: The Living Organization: https://www.amazon.com/Living-Organization-Transforming-Business-Extraordinary/dp/0983531013 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/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkw Website: 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/deannewlund Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deannewlund/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/ Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.com Phone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

He forged his success by going ALL IN, not only in business but in life, building a public company without external financial help, all while creating a family. Host of ALL IN with Rick Jordan Podcast, badass keynote speaker, an influential presence as a media personality & a connoisseur of fine scotch. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Rick Jordan discuss: Strategies for innovative and resilient leadership Scaling businesses and taking companies public The importance of self-awareness and personal growth in leadership Overcoming fear and hesitation to achieve bold goals Navigating relationships and their evolution in personal and professional settings Key Takeaways: Taking a company public involves navigating intricate processes, such as audits, industry disruptions, and financial realignments, often requiring resilience and adaptability. True resilience is cultivated through overcoming personal and professional adversities, which can reveal untapped potential and strength. Success often hinges on acting in the present moment, focusing on what can be done now rather than succumbing to fear of past mistakes or anxiety about the future. Bold pursuits can lead to evolving relationships, as not everyone may align with new directions, emphasizing the importance of surrounding oneself with like-minded, driven individuals. "The only way I believe you can grow and actually go after what you really want is by being all in with it. There's no fallback plan, and there's no Plan B.” — Rick Jordan Connect with Rick Jordan:  Website: https://www.rickjordan.tv/ Email: rick@rickjordan.tv Show: ALL IN with Rick Jordan: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-in-with-rick-jordan/id1450998120 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe2_SL846ZeMvI5PMaOL5bg LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrrickjordan/ X (Twitter): https://x.com/mrrickjordan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mrrickjordan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrrickjordan/ 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/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkw Website: 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/deannewlund Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/ Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.com Phone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
