Leadership Transformations
As you might know, within the Christian tradition, our human condition is defined by the choices Adam and Eve made. You might recall, Eve was seduced by the Enemy into believing that there is another way to become God-like than eat from the tree of life.
This second tree became the symbol of our downfall and we have forever lived under the curse that was brought about because of the choices made by the original man and women. Continue reading “A Tale of Two Trees”
Coming from the charismatic Christian environment I was exposed to some amazing spiritual experiences and practices as far back as I can remember. I have parents that have been followers of the Way my entire life. They remain an amazing example and inspiration to me. I believe I am building on what I have learnt from them as well as the amazing experiences from childhood and early adulthood. It has become a journey of desire. Continue reading “Journey of Desire”
It is 2020 and very exciting! I am looking forward to using my abilities and gifting in a new way this year that will bless many. May you find wonder and inspiration in every day to fully live out your purpose wherever you are.
With this new season I look around at what is happening spiritually and physically and connect the trends to find meaning. Continue reading “Signs of the Times”
The study, practice and coaching of leadership is my focus and has been for about two decades. In business and organisations leadership is actually much easier than when it comes to churches or spiritual communities. In fact, we are really getting the two quite confused at the moment. Continue reading “When it Comes to Ekklesia, There is No Such Thing as Leadership”
Perhaps you recently read my aphorism for CEO’s. It is the first step in my process of serving leaders of small business and startups better. The job of the CEO in today’s times is changing. No longer is it command and control, but connect and collaborate. The CEO needs to hold the space and facilitate the emergence of well-being for everyone involved in the business. The most valuable skill any CEO can have today is informed by an understanding of the seen and unseen world and how they interact. Continue reading “The Most Valuable Skill for CEO’s”
So, I hope you have enjoyed reading what spiritual intelligence is all about, connecting with the Divine and finding your voice. Although I wrote about these very briefly, it takes time to develop and grow in these capabilities. The third important element of spiritual intelligence is to contribute with meaning. In my opinion your contribution flows from your connection with the Divine and finding your voice. Continue reading “Contribute with Meaning”
Yes, you have a unique voice! It is your purpose or raison d’être (as the French say). In my previous posts we looked at spiritual intelligence and our connection with the Divine. Let’s talk more about finding your voice as the next part of your spiritual intelligence. There is a lot of talk about purpose at the moment because we moved away from a monotheistic paradigm when science took over. We generally threw out spirituality with religion.
But as I mentioned previously, religion and spirituality are not the same thing and our spirits yearn to stand for something and be of value. Continue reading “Find Your Voice”
I have been coaching startups and small business owners for the last 13 years. My experience has been as as a contractor, employee and entrepreneur. As many of you know, entrepreneurship is difficult. But there might be a few things that you do not know about entrepreneurship, and startups specifically. Have a seat; let’s chat. Continue reading “Why Be an Entrepreneur!?”
In my previous insight I started the discussion around spiritual intelligence. Let’s pick things up where we left of and continue with the journey into spiritual intelligence by focusing on connecting with the Divine…
Recently, I had a quick chat with someone over lunch time that indicated they were reading an interesting book about coaching. His qualifying statement was that it was good because it was not spiritual. Continue reading “Connection with the Divine”
When the apple fell on Newton’s head and all of us started to follow his teachings we created the faith of materialism. What we can see is real. We went from worshiping many gods, to worshiping one God, to worshiping material things. As the new world view inspired by the reconciliation of quantum and Newtonian physics is starting to influence our daily lives we need to activate our spiritual intelligence to lead.
We are born with multiple intelligences, not just Continue reading “What is Spiritual Intelligence?”
