Transition From Crisis To Oasis w/ Denise Belisle

Join me, Amy Lynn Durham, with Denise Belisle, founder of In-Motion Coaching. She is a serenity expert and positive intelligence specialist. In addition, she is an international speaker, online TV show host, functional medicine health coach, and Reiki master. In this episode, we discuss positive intelligence (PQ), which is a concept that emphasizes the importance of cultivating a positive mindset and reducing negative thinking patterns to improve one's well-being and performance. In spiritual intelligence, we understand the importance of this improvement in the workplace and its impact on quantum leaders and their teams. Today on Create Magic At Work®:

  • What is Positive Intelligence (PQ)
  • Separating your reaction from your response
  • Energy field emotions in the workplace
  • Ways to express emotion from a PQ perspective
  • Dealing with self-blame and shifting to compassion for self

Over the last 40 years, Denise has been immersed in all areas of health and wellness. She has been practicing mindfulness and meditation since she was a teenager and has developed great skills in the discipline of emotional and mental fitness. She is extremely excited to be working in the mental fitness and positive intelligence field, having a deeper understanding of people's mindsets and how her clients can gain better control over their emotions and behaviors. Quote "Decide for our own how we want to move forward, how do we want to continue living our life? Do we want to live in uncertainty and crisis? Or do we want to go into thriving and be in the oasis? So that's why I help people transition from crisis to oasis and find that spot that is, like, rocking your life, and it's like, I'm good no matter what. I'm moving forward. Bring it, adversity. I can handle it, and I'm going to rock this life." - Denise Belisle

About the Podcast

Create Magic At Work®
Spiritual Intelligence, Conscious Leadership, and the Future of Work
Create Magic At Work® is a leadership podcast exploring spiritual intelligence, conscious leadership, and the future of work. Through conversations with visionary leaders, coaches, authors, and entrepreneurs, the show examines how leaders can navigate uncertainty, cultivate self awareness, and create workplaces that are both high performing and deeply human.

Many episodes explore themes such as transformational leadership, intuition in decision making, organizational change, and the inner work required to lead well. The show also introduces frameworks rooted in spiritual intelligence, including SQ21, the Archetypes of Change, and the Edgewalker philosophy. These perspectives help listeners understand how people respond to transformation and support leaders in walking the edge into quantum leadership, where business decisions ripple outward for the greater good.

Listeners of Create Magic At Work® are leaders who want to edgewalk rather than sleepwalk through their work and life. They want to bring their full selves into the spaces they inhabit, including their spirituality from a faith neutral lens. Many are founders, coaches, and professionals seeking deeper meaning in their work and lives.

If you care about leadership that blends strategy, spiritual intelligence, and the courage to walk the edge during times of change, you're in the right place.
