Dr. Dove is the happy owner and principal doctor at the Chiropractic Wellness Center in Fort Collins. He holds the highest level of NSA certification and is a certified SRI wellness educator. A personal comment from Dr. Simon Dove: “This work has changed my life. The depth of healing physically and emotionally, bringing us to a greater depth of our spirit, surpasses anything I have ever experienced in the world of health and wellness — personally and professionally. How far you take Network Spinal Analysis care is entirely up to you. Just imagine a life free of pain and filled with joy, passion and vitality. Imagine your children thriving on every level. This is what Network Spinal Analysis care has to offer. Together, we can create the life you are intended to live.” NSA is a system based within the wellness paradigm, which places the individual in an active role for maximizing expression of his or her own innate potential. Unlike a common health-vs.-illness approach, which is based on fear and dominance, the wellness approach is based on empowerment and partnership with the practitioner. NSA is designed to advance spinal and neural integrity by developing new strategies and self-organization. It is about living life from the inside out. Through a series of light touches along the spine, the patient experiences a deeper awareness of his or her own spinal structures and a release of spinal tensions. Dr. Dove believes the knowledge and wisdom acquired through experiencing NSA will aid individuals in making healthier choices, which, in turn, can shift human culture toward a more compassionate, vital, creative, self-aware and responsible entity. By optimizing an individual’s biology, NSA will facilitate positive transformation on a global scale — one spine at a time. Contact Dr. Simon Dove today to learn more about his unique approach to chiropractic treatments. www.myfortcollinschiropractor.com

Tim’s experience is exceptionally broad – across sales, marketing, human resources, training, market access, and leadership development. He has enjoyed a number of senior level positions in the pharmaceutical industry – literally managing billions of dollars in portfolio and thousands of employees over the course of his career. He played an instrumental role in the growth of a small Midwestern firm into one of the largest healthcare companies in the world. Along the way he’s been intimately involved in sourcing and developing talent and his mentorship of scores of individuals who have gone on to assume senior level roles with other companies has earned him industry wide accolades.

He counts among his most significant accomplishments – the ability to survive and thrive in the face of over 2-dozen restructures and 5 mergers and acquisitions, becoming – over time – one of the few industry veterans to successfully weather the waves of downsizings that swept the pharmaceutical world. The experiences and the insights gained inform the book The Compass Solution; A Guide to Winning Your Career. It promises to be a definitive guidebook for building a thriving career – with the practical tips acquired from a lifetime of experience. If you’re SERIOUS about writing your career story, a must read. The book is slated for release later this year.

In this interview Dom discusses his new book Think React Lead: When Success and Accomplishments Aren’t Enough Like you, Executive Coach and Speaker Dom Faussette has seen success defined numerous ways over the years. Is it charisma and positive thinking? Pinstripes and red power ties? Is it all about the situation? Is it meant only for the chosen few who rise to the top? Or, is there a different story? With over a decade of corporate leadership, Executive coaching, and most importantly, real-world, in-the-trenches business experience, his view is radically different. We cannot do anything we put our mind to, without first unlearning what the mind has retained. Dom Faussette extracts the unidentified natural leadership ability you currently possess to build upon your platform. Dom appreciates, and shares with readers, that success is a moment-to-moment choice and not about title, capital gain or possessions. Success is a feeling of opportunity that requires engaged thought, performance-driven action and influential leadership.
