Denise’s Story

After becoming a top leader in sales and subsequent National Training manager for Control Data Corporation (CDC), I realized my success was the result of my attitude, skills, and knowledge. I had a positive, proactive attitude, consultative skills, and continuously increased my knowledge of my products and services, the industry, and the competition. As a result I became a leader in sales for numerous industries. I studied with leading motivation and sales experts to continuously improve my skills as a provider of solutions. I realized my success and competitive edge was also a result of my becoming a ‘solution-provider’.

As a ‘solution provider’ I sought out partners who could help me to solve my client problems. I invested time and money building my network, and began to leverage this asset. “Power Partnerships™” were my differentiator, and the key to closing more business. I also recognized an unfulfilled need in the marketplace: women in business who were spending so much time and energy networking but still frustrated by not getting the desired results for their business.

With a passion to help women succeed I began to offer assistance regarding “ASK™” and the potential “Power of Partnerships™”. I help women identify their ideal “Power Partners™”; ones with whom they can build a maximum win and results. And, although I believe you should try to establish an “all-win” partnership with every person you meet, I also believe that you should identify your ideal targets and “Power Partners”. By doing so, you can GROW™ exponentially and achieve the RESULTS™ you want.

And… that is my mission in life: to help people and organizations to GROW exponentially and to achieve the RESULTS they want through the “Power of Partnerships”!

Don’s Story

After finishing a tour of duty in the U.S. Navy, serving both in the surface Navy and in submarines, I left the family farm in Minnesota and ventured into the corporate world, spending many years at AT&T. It was during this period I learned there is a better way for corporate and labor leadership to deal with one another. I also learned this ‘better way’ applied in every potential partnership opportunity I encountered!

Beginning quite early in my career, I began the process of encouraging my business and labor colleagues to achieve mutual success through conversation, not confrontation. From my experiences growing up on the family farm, I knew that people working together for common cause always trumped the incessant drive for competitive advantage so prevalent in the business world.

Over 20 years ago I was promoted into a leadership position within the Communications Workers of America, the world’s largest telecommunications labor union. For most of that time, I co-led two joint venture companies, both of which operate on a formalized partnership model. Today, these companies include, as stakeholders and partners: AT&T, Avaya Communication, Communications Workers of America, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and Lucent Technologies. Partner to the companies I co-led is the CWA Staff Union, representing our employees. This experience resulted in my becoming one of a mere handful of experts worldwide in building and sustaining partnerships between labor and management.

As part of my belief in giving back, I have done volunteer work in my community, have participated as a volunteer in the political process, and have donated my time to teach, from primary school to college. I am currently on the Board of Two Rivers Community School of Boone, NC (USA).

Now, I am partnering with like-minded practitioners in the consulting world to help organizations achieve lasting change with the full participation of their people, from the boardroom to the workroom.

In keeping with my commitment to lifelong learning, I am a member of the Mid-Atlantic Facilitator’s Network and participated in their year-long professional development series in Washington, D.C. In 2004. I also hold membership in the International Association of Facilitators™ and am a Certified Professional Facililtator.

My role is to serve as Denise's business Partner in Dynamic Destiny Partnerships, and to serve as an informal advisor to Women's Community, LLC.
