Your journey towards increasing personal effectiveness

Training can explain concepts at an intellectual level and can develop certain skills but in developing leadership much more is required. Developing self-awareness, recognising behavioural issues, ..... using creativity, imagination and your whole self is needed."

Unleashing Leaders, Hilarie Owen

See more definitions of Leadership

There is a growing recognition that a new style of leadership is needed in our organisations, one which is being called ‘transformational’, ’breakthrough’ or ‘inspirational’ leadership. And what all these styles have in common is a call for a deeper level of self-knowledge and self-discovery, the characteristics of which cannot be learned by the same approaches that teach business strategy, finance and marketing.

It is now more widely understood that over 80% of all characteristics of truly great leaders are emotional ones. Emotional Intelligence competences are twice as important as intellectual and technical ones.

And perhaps the most important component of Emotional Intelligence is Self Awareness – the awareness & management of one’s own state of emotions in all circumstances. With increasing awareness, blocked energy can be cleared, creativity released and vitality enhanced. We are then better able to determine our values and vision for a more fulfilled & fruitful life, take up our own empowerment and build truer and freer relationships.

Based on philosophic traditions over 1000 years old, the Enneagram is a profound, elegant and compassionate approach to people and their relationships. It describes nine basic worldviews and nine ways of doing business.  Each of the nine personality types is something of a pathway through life, with likely obstacles and pitfalls along the way.  Each style has its own natural gifts, limitations, blind spots, its own distinctive ways of thinking, acting and being.
