The 7 Questions Dain Encourages Us To Ask In His Book "Being Essential" - Brainz Magazine Exclusive Interview With Dain Dunston

Dain Dunston is a storyteller, future-finder and CEO-whisperer who has been fascinated with the concept of elevated awareness and consciousness since he was in college. Dain grew up in a family surrounded by literature, art, and music, from Prokofiev to Bebop to Blues. His mother was a reclusive painter and his father was on the fast track to becoming a CEO by the age of 45. From his earliest memories, he found himself fascinated by two fundamental philosophical questions: “Who are we?” And “Why are we here?”

Years of helping leaders build their self-awareness by learning to ask the right questions led to Dain’s most recent book, Being Essential: Seven Questions for Living and Leading with Radical Self-Awareness. Leaders may think they know what they need to do but don’t have a clue who they need to be. ‘Radical Self-Awareness’ is a game-changing mindset that unlocks a more effective, agile approach to life, love and leadership.

Dain is the founding partner of Reservoir LLC, a company designed to bring deep resources to leaders, led by a coalition of some of the most respected leadership thinkers, authors and executive coaches in the U.S. and Europe. Dain lives in Wimberley, Texas, with his wife, writer and art dealer Jean Compton, and their dogs Jackson and Maya.

In this episode, we discover the following:

How we become radically self-aware.
Why so many leaders may know what to do, but have no clue of what they need to be.
The 7 Questions Dain encourages us to ask in his book 'Being Essential.'
How we are often caught in two minds and how to be in the right mind.
