ACCREDITED MANAGEMENT COACHING PROGRAMME

A SPECIAL INVITATION TO LEADERS, COACHES, MANAGERS AND PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTITIONERS.

As countries of the world seek to improve global competitiveness, it is of paramount importance that  leaders explore engagements on personal effectiveness and self-empowerment in their daily lives. 

Leaders (political and corporate), of any entity must embark on an exciting and profitable journey of continually discovering excellence and good in people they lead and themselves. Taking a journey of self-development does lead to improved service delivery, enhanced personal value and heightened self-confidence.

Improved service delivery, in the broadest possible sense, is something that we must all seek with a renewed vigor,  If personal effectiveness is not taken as priority, there are grave consequences for those nations that seek to play a meaningful role in the forever changing socio- economic and political dictates of the global village. 

EMPOWERMENT LEADERSHIP COACHING

Empowerment Coaching helps a lot for those who are in positions of leading others, or perhaps those who are aspiring to make a contribution in these positions. Personally I believe that this discipline is essential for those who seek to live their lives in the center of their life's calling - their purpose.

The COSTA Coaching Model, developed on the GROW and subsequent models - seeks to help and empower aspiring and/or practicing leaders who find themselves in leading positions, while giving those leaders an opportunity to help others and themselves with results oriented and solutions-focussed management tools at the same time.

The programme uses latest discoveries in neuroscience and brain research to formulate both theoretical and practical basis for effective Meta-Coaching approach to leadership and management development practice.

The power of its effectiveness as a tool lies in its construct of a step-by-step outline - enabling participating individuals to implement in their daily lives with ease - while focusing on results attainment. 

DISCOVERING EXCELLENCE is the programme philosophy!

CONSTRUCTS OF LEADERSHIP IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Leadership as a study is one of the most interesting and demanding disciplines of all times! Absence of true leadership hierarchy creates anarchy! Hierarchy creates succession - and for that to be effective - Leadership Coaching and Mentoring is Critical.

Leaders need to define and understand leadership in terms of its philosophical foundations, etymology, meaning and contextual application. We need to redefine and contextualise foundational constructs of leadership and its basis in terms of the 21st century dictates and followers.

In this Knowledge Age, continuous relevant training must avoid the rhetoric, cliche and repetition of already known concepts of leadership. Practical and applicable solutions for the present day demands a leader who will offer something different and his/her political promise must be devoid of the "usual" rhetoric.

This leader will first seek/acquire knowledge - leaders need to have clarity of the SITUATION, demonstrate understanding of the situation and propose a way through the SITUATION. They might not have full knowledge, because it must be understood that knowledge is progressive - hence we encourage students to seek "new knowledge".

This means that leaders cannot afford NOT to continuously sharpen their skills in a 3D thrust through :
(1) Seeking new knowledge on the demands of the SITUATION.
(2) Emotional Intelligence - successful leaders are those who understand themselves well because through that they are able to understand those that follow them and ultimately form solid partnerships/relationships. 
(3) Actively getting involved in encouraging those following them to take part in problem-solving (that is the psychology of Persuasion and Influencing).

An intelligent leader knows that roles are cyclical - they have a life cycle and are not subject to entitlement. Leadership should serve as an answer to a SITUATION (Problem), and provide solutions to the FOLLOWERS affected by the SITUATION in a particular time.

Leaders also need to note and recognise that followers know immediately as soon as the SITUATION changes, that means leaders cannot be left hanging echoing the past in answering to the present (as much as both followers know the present is a product of a past - sometimes it is not entirely so) - because leading shoud not only be REACTIVE but PROACTIVE and PROGRESSIVE.

The changing nature of the SITUATION demands the changing nature of the leadership task and nature of leadership in that particular time. If I were to make an example, the nature of leadership towards the SITUATION of the demise of Colonialism in the past two decades might not be the same as the ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATIONAL DICTATES (SITUATION) of post-apartheid era (TIME).

That is why modern-day democracy allows people in different forms of organisations to elect leaders who will recognise the importance of their :
(1) Term
(2) Mandate 
(3) Deliverables

While in office, how he/she (the leader) responds is part of being a leader. It is there - while in office and carrying out his/her mandate that is crucial for him/her to know when it is time to hand over. Leaders need to know when their leadership is no longer wanted.

Clinging to a position one is elected to illustrates an inherent sense of entitlement. Can we truly say an elected leader is entitled to any position? Where would we leave policies and procedures that govern collective leadership? Do we have cases where abdication or claim of entitlement to a leadership position brought solutions to an organisational SITUATION in history?

LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK FOR REPRESENTING SOCIAL DECISIONS

A leadership scholar should seek with interest the origin of leadership and its place in prehistoric and modern societies. This would require demonstration and logical understanding of the basic process of societal and organisational formation - how sects, entities, organisations and even cultures are formed. Classical observation of relationships between members of societies and these formations (organisations) will help determine the origins of leadership and its application in modern democratic times.

Studying basic relationships of human beings in any given time - one will notice differences in critical and important aspects of interaction in a particular SITUATION - this being:
(1) Competence (knowledge, Skills and Abilities)
(2) Personalty
(3) Linguistics - understanding of words, meanings and application (Communication and Influence).

These differences in society and organisations create a hierarchy - levels and that can be defined as origins of leadership. Hierarchy is healthy for any organisations - but its term and situation should be well understood by those who lead and those who follow. It is often said that the state of a nation is a reflection of its leadership - the same way, the state of an organisation is a reflection of its leadership and understanding of hierarchy in this context.

As I conclude - it should be observed that absence of Hierarchy creates the presence of Anarchy! What is the state of your organisation? Does its leaders reflect this framework for representing SOCIAL DECISIONS IN THE CURRENT SITUATION - YOUR SITUATION?

MIND POWER FOR EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT & LEADERSHIP

YOUR MIND - NATURAL CURRENCY, YOUR BRAIN, NATURAL BIO-COMPUTER

YOUR MIND IS THE MOST POWERFUL CURRENCY - IT IS WITH THE MIND THAT YOU CREATE WEALTH , HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.

The highly paid people trade with their MIND not their STRENGTH. Success is determined and resultant from what you have been THINKING. You are WHAT you think. If you think you are failing so you are.

The BRAIN operates on two organising principles,

     (1) Maximize Reward response and 

     (2) Minimize threat response

In this programme you will learn about the BRAIN - MIND connection and how the BRAIN can be programmed by you to bring the results you want, consciously or unconsciously.  You will also learn how the BRAIN can direct individuals  to achieve all things they want. Once the brain is taught  to observe certain patterns or "things" then the universe agrees with you to get the results. Your thoughts create your reality.

• If you think your relationships are not working so that will be the case.
• If you think people dont love you so that will happen
• If you think you are poor so that will be your reality.

YOU ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR THOUGHTS. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING LATELY - BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE!

PROPHETIC PRAYER FOR ENTREPRENEURS

GOD ALWAYS HAS A MASTER PLAN - A PROPHETIC MESSAGE TO ENTREPRENEURS!! BY DR KING COSTA

In His providence and sovereignty God can shift and change the script that was created to destroy you or take away the concepts and ideas God had put in you. Remember you are a member of a strong body - headed by Christ the King.

The economic landscape is about to change - and you need to fear nothing - you are a Dimensional Entrepreneur - an entrepreneur in the Kingdom of God - empowered and sent as an apostolic ambassador in the market place.

God will put you at the FOREFRONT - you will be at the CUTTING EDGE and the world will look for you because you will celebrate you difference and start to use it for empowerment and kingdom economics. That difference - the uniqueness in you will make you start to think differently from the norm and as you start to think differently you will speak differently too.

When they speak the negative things around you - you will speak the positive - because you will understand that WORDS create - WORD have

 (1) Presence

 (2) Prophetic Inclination and

 (3) Power.

You will speak TRANSFORMATION words that will transform your environment and make you to be a magnet in the season - you will attract that which you say.

GOD HAS A MASTER PLAN FOR YOU! THE REALMS AROUND YOU ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE. YOU CANNOT KEEP COMPLAINING IN THE SEASON - BUT KEEP PRAISING GOD IN THE SITUATION. THE SAME GOD WHO USED LIMITED RESOURCES OF TWO FISH AND THREE LOAVES INTO ABUNDANCE OF RESOURCES THAT FED THE NATION - YOU ARE ALSO THERE.

You are in the realm of unlimited possibilities.

I speak the prayer of Jabez in your life - no more boundaries - no more limits.

May God open yours - if you spot it it is yours - if you conceptualize it then it shall come to pass.
