Vision and core purpose

Leadership style

Communication

Leadership/staff relationships

Race relations

Cultural diversity

Gender issues

Leadership help and support

Training and development

Customer service

Purpose Quest
Every person needs a deep purpose to guide their actions and increase their impact. Purpose provides a source of energy and inspiration which allows us to sustain an appetite for discovery, co-creation and innovation.
Based on an ancient rite of passage, a Purpose Quest is usually a transformational experience for all involved. It is generated from a moment of individual breakthrough and has a quality, power, and resonance that puts it into a completely different league in comparison with other self-development processes. Many participants describe it as life-changing.

Personal and Leadership Coaching
Life coaching: The Personal ‘Journey to Exceptional’
The purpose of the personal ‘Journey’ is to move towards becoming an exceptional human being who can then positively influence the lives of all the people they interact with.
The individual’s journey is critical to their leadership requirements. You cannot expect to influence a culture if you haven’t shown a willingness to change yourself and earn the moral authority to lead.
Personal Mastery: The Culture-Driven Leadership Journey
Culture-Driven Leaders are groomed to be able to cope with the complexities of our socio-political landscape and to create a working environment of respect, tolerance and trust between the different sectors of the population. An environment in which people have a sense of belonging and build a common purpose towards obsessive customer service. Leadership authority is no longer about power, position or status but rather about earning the moral authority to lead.
