Bio Dr. Denise Berger, Ed.D.

I am a leadership consultant and graduate-level educator, helping individuals, teams and organizations achieve growth with purpose. I bring together practice-based, hands-on experience having run a global Fortune 500 business group, with acquired research-based knowledge and wisdom. I focus on educating leaders and their teams, developing a great workplace, and optimizing leadership efficacy. What do I mean by “optimizing leadership efficacy?” This involves identifying and developing the skills, behaviors, and strategies that enable a leader to be successful in your role, not just the analytical qualities but the soft skills too. I teach organizational leadership at the master’s level and include in my lessons: vision, mission, values work, resiliency, conflict management, relational intelligences, collaboration, systems thinking, and change management. I frame the lessons within a context of cultural intelligence, social responsibility, and impact thinking.

I have a BA in History from Colgate University, an MBA in Marketing and International Business from Fordham University, and a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Pepperdine University. I am a certified Positive Intelligence® coach, helping people build their mental fitness. In addition to teaching Leadership & Service in the Social Entrepreneurship & Change program at Pepperdine University, I previously taught Program Evaluation in the same program, and I have taught Leading Inclusive Organizations in Vanderbilt University’s doctoral program for Leadership and Learning in Organizations. I have authored articles, scholarly work, blog posts, and appeared on the radio and in podcasts. My most recent publication can be found in the Routledge Series on Leadership and Change, a chapter entitled Why Leaders in the US Build Businesses with Purpose. Through the years, I have volunteered my time with Social Justice Partners LA (formerly Social Venture Partners) to coach cohorts of social entrepreneurs in their fast pitch and growth strategies. I have also coached TEDx speakers and Annenberg/CNN Hero awardees on their pitches.

Details of my organizational and leadership work can be found at www.alikiconsulting.com. And fun fact, I also founded a Greek hand-made jewelry brand, Aliki Designs, locatable at www.alikidesigns.com.

Let’s Get Vulnerable about the Realities of Suicide with Psychiatrist Joyce Spurgeon M.D.: Embrace Your Neurostyle and Beyond

Dr. Joyce Spurgeon shares her personal loss of her closest childhood friend, Jeannie. We go back in time to the exact moment that she found out this devastating news. We discussed the feelings of despair, hopelessness and burden someone feels when they decide they can no longer stay on earth.

This is a vulnerable episode and is filled with our professional and personal experiences of all the emotions and solutions around suicide awareness and prevention.

Listen HERE:

 

Joyce A Spurgeon, MD completed medical school at the University of Louisville and went on to do her residency in adult psychiatry there.  When she finished her residency, she stayed at University of Louisville as the associate training director for the psychiatric residency.  She progressed up and associate professor and became the training director and her clinical work was specializing in the treatment of mental illness in the peripartum period.  Following her time at UofL, she changed the directions in her career.  She was hired as the only psychiatrist at a Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, Indiana where she has worked for the past 7 years.  She is proud to work closely with the primary care providers to help treat mental illness in a vastly underserved community.

Are You Ready for Help?

 

Sacred Remembrance of Jeannie

Two little girls kneel over the mud pile- they are making their specialty- mud pies are so much fun to create.  They are covered in mud, their sweaty hair sticky to their heads, but huge smiles wreath their faces.  They join hands and pledge to be best friends forever.  Those hands age over the years but they always find their way back to each other.  In middle and high school, their lives divide but when things get really tough, the call in the middle of the night always goes to the other.  Their adult lives move them into different locations, yet when they talk, it is as if no time has passed.  Something happened in those early years over the mud piles, wild sledding snow days, church camp, and bike riding…..they became each other’s anchor.  They each wanted to find ways to help other people.  One became a nurse, the other a doctor.  Yet, when they talked, they were just two little girls in adult bodies.

When mental illness hit my friend, I , as a psychiatrist, felt scared.  I knew what was happening.  I could see all the warning signs, and I could not control the progression.  I tried to prepare her parents for what might happen and what I hoped to never witness.   I got her into treatment.  I asked for many favors for people to try to help her because I could only be her friend.  It was not enough.  My worst fears were realized…..my tow headed best buddy from the age of 4 was gone…..she hung herself because we had told all of the local gun stores to not sell her a gun.  We thought we had protected her.  It is only in a small town that you can get away with this type of protection.  Yet, she believed that the only way that she could be free was to stand before Jesus and ask for forgiveness, so she decided to go and do that.  Yet what she left behind….well, she left us journals that tried to explain her reasoning but only revealed her illness.  For, in truth, none of us are better because she is gone.

Jeannie died by suicide on May 17th.  That day is a day that changed the course of my life.  I lost one of my anchors, one of the people who knew me as no one else will ever know me in my life.  When she died, I promised myself that I would not let the way she died define who she was.  She has and will always be my best buddy from my childhood, the keeper of my dreams and hopes.  And, I will continue to carry her with me for the rest of my life.  She still walks with her hand in mine- I just can’t feel it in real life anymore, but I know it is there.    So, I talk about how she died because I feel like she was taken too soon from us all because of her mental illness, yet I want you to know that her life was so much more to me.  I never thought that this is how the story of those two little girls would end.  I will miss you forever, my friend.

Award winning television producer Charles Mattocks is here to discuss LONGEVITY and finding our own optimal health journey and how he INTEGRATES this into all of his media endeavors.

Charles shares what it was like to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 13 years ago and how this IGNITED his own AWARENESS of  holistic and preventive tools for optimal health. This resulted in his television production of his enlightening wellness series REVERSED which has touched millions of lives with a cast of paradigm progression pioneers in real time helping those seeking help.

In 2023 Charles is excited to launch  a new season Reversed, LONGEVITY!

Tune in and be INSPIRED:

He documented his process in a provocative documentary, “The Diabetic You”, which peels back the curtain on the good, the bad, and the ugly of the diabetes epidemic. This film set his advocacy in motion, with Charles ascending to become a Blue Circle Champion for the International Diabetes Association and a published author for the American Diabetes Association.

The show received much recognition from both critics and medical professionals and earned a second season pick-up – this time focusing on HIV.

Just as he did in reversed, Charles  guided his enlightened group toward positive outcomes beyond their wildest expectations.

PRESS RELEASE
Teen Girls Are Struggling Amid Unprecedented Mental Health Crisis: Here’s How to Help Your Daughter
Los Angeles, CA, May 15, 2023 — In her critically important new book, Heal Your Daughter: How Lifestyle Psychiatry Can Save Her from Depression, Cutting, and Suicidal Thoughts, Cheryl L. Green, M.D., addresses the unique stress factors impacting teenage girls and gives parents or other caregivers six concrete ways to help their daughters develop health-promoting, depression-reversing habits.
“Most of us who have a daughter have a daughter we want to heal,” Dr. Green wrote in her book’s introduction, underscoring the widespread nature of the nation’s current mental health crisis among teenage girls.
“Our teens have been experiencing grave problems in their mental health for over a decade, and the recent pandemic greatly deepened what was already a crisis,” she said, adding that she has witnessed the declining mental health of teenage girls firsthand at the medical university where she teaches and in her own private practice.
Practical, compelling and comprehensive in its approach, Heal Your Daughter reveals a new paradigm for helping teenage girls with depression. Dr. Green begins by explaining the new field of lifestyle psychiatry, and provides state of the art, evidence-based information and guidance related to six lifestyle domains: nutrition, detoxification, exercise, sleep, emotional connectedness, and stress reduction.
“The good news is that healing, even from the worst disasters of childhood and early adolescence, is possible,” Dr. Green said. “The early traumas that life inflicts need not be ‘managed’ with ever-escalating doses of psychiatric medications; I believe that they actually can be healed — completely or almost completely healed. There is every reason for hope.”
Dr. Green explains that the method outlined in her book can be used in conjunction with traditional therapies or as a standalone treatment. The method doesn’t require a diagnosis. It is drug-free and affordable. And perhaps most importantly, it offers new hope to those who have given up on psychiatry and on the traditional mental health care system.
“Teen girls with depression are often overwhelmed, and are unable to help themselves,” Dr. Green added. “But you, the caregiver, can help them take tiny steps in the six domains described in the book. The more tiny steps taken, the closer teen girls can come to reclaiming the foundations of their physical and mental health.”
Ultimately, Heal Your Daughter and its companion book, The Heal Your Daughter Workbook, aim to make important new contributions to society’s collective understanding and support of today’s girls.
