This fundamental meaning and values transformation process is then carried into the business, leading to the development of the spiritual capital of the business ultimately resulting in a far more holistic and sustainable form of capitalism.This process can be incredibly rewarding and life changing for business leaders, who, by becoming knights or champions can transform their own businesses to be financialy sustainable in the long term and to impact their community and the world.Claude Warner has been through his own lengthy process of emotional and spiritual intelligence development, resulting in a man of character and integrity, who is deep, reflective and intuitive.

From a personal leadership perspective, my significant success has been mastery in the areas of emotional and spiritual intelligence, resulting in a man of character and integrity, with a strong sense of identity and adequacy. My mission is to serve as a catalyst for change and transformation through coaching, working with leaders in the area of personal leadership development. This broad knowledge base, combined with an authentic journey of personal leadership development, has created a strong foundation from which to work with executives and business leaders in the areas of emotional and spiritual development, as well as being a strategic thinking partner. Future study plans include tackling a Masters Degree in Coaching. We enjoy exploring off the beaten track, and have a particular love for the stark beauty of the Karoo. A candle-lit dinner with good friends is food for the soul. Movies can serve as a powerful metaphor of what is happening in our own lives, and can touch and stir us in our deepest being. Leaders lacking in Emotional Intelligence had significantly reduced leadership effectiveness. Leaders with high Emotional Intelligence deal with potentially difficult situations more effectively (Jordan et al., 2002). A study of 130 executives found that how well people handled their own emotions determined how much people around them preferred to deal with them (Walter V. Clarke Associates, 1997) To identify high leverage personal leadership development areas. To co-create a unique action plan to address these, taking into account your leadership context, needs and priorities. To implement this on an action-learning basis, learning and applying skills in real life situations. To measure success with assessment pre and post the coaching intervention. These 8 habits mirror the results of research conducted at other companies, and they continue to debunk the commonly held myth that a manager must be as good or even better a technical expert than his team members. Technical expertise is important, but it pales in comparison to something as simple and basic as bosses who made time for one-on-one meetings, who helped people think through their problems by asking questions, and who took an interest in employees’ careers and lives. People typically leave a company for one or a combination of either feeling that their work doesn’t matter, not getting along with their co-workers, and the biggest variable, not getting on with their boss. The manager had the biggest impact on employees’ performance and how they felt about their jobs. The good news for manager’s to improve team performance is that they do not need a personality transplant. All that is required is the consistent application of a few simple behaviour changes that can have a profound impact on team performance. Working with a coach specializing in developing and improving effective leadership behaviour can help you transform your leadership impact and substantially improve business results. Cl
