In this episode, Dean Newlund and Stephen Mitchley discuss:

• Helping people find more motivations to choose healthily
• Mental 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. 

“You need excellent facilitation in the discussion, not just the discussion.” —  Stephen Mitchley.
