Our Purpose
is to serve people and companies to live their authentic purpose in ease and freedom.
We believe whatever you
Dream is Real.
If you dream big but feel fearful or anxious; you will drive the road to discomfort, difficulty, complexity, and even failure.
The reason behind this mindset is looking and valuing the business with numbers, instead of core purpose, qualified insights and meaningful people engagements.
If you dream your purpose, and be mindful and grateful by being in the present; you will unleash your full potential to make your dreams; future ambitions real.
We believe Purpose drives the road to Results, not Targets.
So why we are only talking about the outcome, instead of our core - WHY we exist?
What if we change our dialogue;
-
from numbers to people,
-
from to-do’s to purpose,
-
from results to core roots?
Imagine the impact on people, your eco-system, society and the world…

Deniz Günaydın
Founder of Collective Minds & HelloDeniz.com
Management Consultant (Culture and Experience Design, Transformation, Development),
Executive Coach, Career and Start-up Mentor
I graduated from Istanbul Bilgi University Advertising Department. I started my career in 2002 as a copywriter at a global agency. After a mobbing experience while serving the commercial problems of brands, I decided to develop solutions for companies to improve their culture. After working in the advertising industry for 5 years, I switched to Management Consulting.
Since 2008, I have worked in different fields such as Change and Transformation, Culture, Leadership, Strategy and Organizational Learning in Turkey, Turkic Republics, Russia and the Middle East Region.
Until now, I have served more than 3,000 leaders from 33 different nationalities in 15 countries and mostly Fortune 100 global and national companies. I've done more than 1.500 days consulting, 300 facilitations /trainings, over 2,500 hours of leadership coaching, and over 500 hours of mentoring to young entrepreneurs and university students.
I completed the certification processes from ICF approved CTI Co-Active Coaching in 2014 and from Marshall Goldsmith Executive Coaching and Mentoring in 2017.
Some of the projects I lead have been awarded by ATD (Association for Talent Development), GPTW (Great Place to Work), Asia Training & Development Association, TEGEP (Turkish Education and Development Platform Association), Altın Pusula on global, regional and national basis.
I believe that a sustainable future for organizations will be possible by leading the culture. I am the founder of Collective Minds, which operates in Turkey and Qatar, which serves companies in this field to build their collective power with their culture.
In my initiative called HelloDeniz.com, I serve individuals. I support their transformation journey from White Collar to Free Collar with Podcasts, One-to-One Sessions and Online Trainings.
In addition, I voluntarily mentor the Start-ups at Ä°TÜ Çekirdek and young leaders (university students and recent graduates).
In a period of my life, I gave motivational speeches to nearly 1.500 people in the Middle East about my fatal illness experience that happened to 60 people in the world history, and how I overcome that disease without disability (become one and only case in the world history) with Mental Resilience Method that I generated by my self.
Since 2010, I am also interested in macro philosophy.
