His research is focused on understanding the whole system and how well-being is generated. Where there is well-being; there is performance.

Dennis is a brilliant listener who has the presence to shift awareness through his presence. As simple as this skill sounds, there is more to it than meets the eye. A

Show synopsis

The Evolutionary Provocateur bi-monthly show is for executives, managers, and supervisors (OR for leaders at all levels) who have noticed that it is not what you know but who you are that has the biggest impact.

Dawna Jones, the show's host, believes that by raising awareness and understanding we can make a quantum leap to a new level of innovation in business - but it has to be done collectively.

What better way to do it than by provoking the evolution of how you see yourself and your role!
