Dean Whitney · Get Better Lab
Executive Coach in Chicago
Chicago's business landscape spans finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and technology — and the executives who lead across those sectors share a common pattern: extraordinary professional capability alongside a growing sense that the personal cost of that performance is quietly compounding. Dean Whitney works with Chicago-area leaders to address that pattern directly — not with generic leadership advice, but with a neuroscience-based framework that identifies the root causes and builds a sustainable path forward.

What industries does Dean have experience coaching in?
Dean has worked with executives across biotech, finance, technology, professional services, and entrepreneurship. The Get Better Framework is industry-agnostic — it addresses the human performance patterns that show up across all high-demand professional environments.
How is neuroscience-based coaching different from traditional executive coaching?
Traditional executive coaching focuses on skills, behaviors, and professional outcomes. Neuroscience-based coaching works at the level of the nervous system — addressing the biological patterns that drive behavior rather than trying to override them through willpower and habit. The results are more durable because they address root causes.
