Natasa Denman - Ultimate 48 Hour Author

Monday morning live with Natasa Denman featuring one of her amazing authors from the 2015 Retreat, Anita Bentata.  

Anita Bentata is a highly skilled mentor facilitator with nearly 30 years experience in western and eastern science, psychology and neursocience. She is the author of The Wolf in a Suit, and soon to be released, The Truth about Love, Abuse and Therapy, as well as The Inner Essential Journey.  

In this time, Anita has explored the relationship between love, stress and trauma, through research, clients, followers stories, and her journey out of trauma. She realised why people become stuck in stress/trauma, and difficult thought patterns, habits, and relationships. This led to developing The Essentials MEthod™ which is transforming lives and freeing people from relying on time consuming ‘techiques and therapy/coaching’ to manage stress.  

With her calm, comforting approach, Anita inspires and imparts clarity through a practical blueprint to move beyond current perceptions into generative possibilities, free in the moment, no matter the past, or current environment.  

Anita's Take-Aways:  

1.  We're trained by society and family to listen to others who don't know what is best for us or in alignment with our inner calling, and so lose track of our inner guidance. When we see an 'expert' we continue the pattern from our parents that outisde of us, others know best, and we lose the incredible opportunities to discover more than we conceive is possible when going inwards.   

2.  We live in a society that focuses on and values the left brain qualities: thinking, logic, rationality, concrete reality, learning from the past. But the left brain does not know the unknown, and so it repeats what is known.   

3.  Little Red Riding Hood was told to stick to the path. We are often told 'what the right path' should look like, whether in business or relationships.

Monday morning live with Natasa Denman featuring one of her bravest Authors, Jennifer McGuire.  

Jennifer McGuire is the whistleblower who cracked open a corrupt Government Owned Corporation Executive.  It became her mission to represent young females that had been sexually harassed and bullied.  She didn’t turn a blind eye to take the hush money secret deal and sign a non-disclosure agreement to silence her.  Instead, she took the fight to them.  In the process, she discovered so much more…  

In her book, Jennifer reveals her shocking personal battle and provides you with firsthand insight to understand if your organisation is heading towards a Corporate Storm, what you can do about it, and, most importantly, how you can survive it. She finally shares her story after sitting quietly, waiting to be heard because of the Crime & Corruption Commission and Treasury investigations that ensued.  She discloses what she did and demystifies the serious, elevated investigation processes.   

With over 25 years of extensive professional experience in leadership positions, built on a solid foundation of business academic knowledge, Jennifer shares her personal, true story with you.  

Here are Jennifer's 3 Take-Aways:

1. Encourage women to require, particularly male executives to provide a safe and respectful place to work.    

2. Whether male or female…don’t turn a blind eye, stay silent and be a part of the problem. After reading CORPORATE STORM you will have the power to take action.  

3. Don’t walk away from a harmful workplace, because you may regret it for the rest of your life. Instead read CORPORATE STORM so you learn from my story, can identify the organizational challenges and learn how to behave your way through the storm to a successful outcome.
