Heart in Business

As an experienced leader, I can thoroughly recommend Stepping Into Your Authentic Leadership for those wanting to develop their leadership teams. Gone are the days when it was acceptable for complete separation between their personal and work life. These days it is only authentic, real leaders that will be followed by people who want to see real change happening in the world and this programme will help you and your team become those that will be followed.

Having recently completed a M & A between Oils R Us and a Frankfurt public listed company, I was looking for the next chapter in life. "Heart in Business" has helped me discover a different perspective and direction. Working with "Heart in Business" I have gained a greater understanding of people and the ability to apply practical tools to bring out the best in those I work with. Better understanding and Identifying of values, integrity and authenticity has enabled me to bring more of myself to work.

What was best about Level 1 was to work with like-minded people, to learn from others and to help others to learn, to reflect and to use the models. After the programme, I’m consciously making more time for reflection and trying to be kinder to myself and to others. This was the first time that I’ve experienced a workshop where I believe that the event has truly tried to honour the commitments made.

I personally found the forum extremely helpful as a compass for living and working – especially the focus on gifts, talent and aspiration and bringing my full self to work – it helped me look at any real or imagined obstructions to my perfect path forward

Time away from business to reflect and think without the pressures of getting stuff done by a particular time meant I felt inspired and at my creative best, something that I have been missing in recent times.

A fabulous two days to look hard at yourself and your organisation in ways which are both challenging and rewarding. The expert team skilfully illustrated new ways for me to approach both my organisation and my whole attitude to work.

The SIAL course is an eye-opener to who you really are, where you have come from and where you want to be. I now understand why I am here and what my purpose is. I don’t have to be the loudest person in the room to “show up” and from this programme I am able to use tools and different approaches to be the authentic leader I am. I took steps outside my comfort zone throughout the programme and am now reaping the rewards from the experience I have gained. Thankful and grateful for the space that was made for me to truly find myself.

Level 2 of Stepping into Your Authentic Leadership gave me so much, I gained: A greater understanding of my own skills and talents, and how others see me. More confidence in my own decision making ability, allowing me to be more confident in the face of challenges. Increased sensitivity towards others and the ability to be more vulnerable. An ability to truly listen to others. Tools that that I can use in my everyday working and personal life, and ones I can teach others to use. Time to reflect on my direction and priorities.
