At Seven Rocks Consulting we believe that Leadership is both an Art and a Mystery. We think of Leadership Development as learning the Art of Leadership and exploring the Mystery of Leadership.
Like any professional skill, the Art of Leadership can be developed. It needs only personal motivation (i.e. you need to have a desire to lead others) and an earnest commitment to hone fundamental leadership skills. We call these fundamental leadership skills the Seven Rocks of Natural Leadership.
The Mystery of Leadership can be explored and unveiled using techniques to develop previously unrecognised qualities of being, allowing Leaders to engage, inspire, influence, build trust and commitment, leading to the successful execution of strategy through creative action. Leaders access the Mystery of Leadership when they are integrated within themselves, drawing upon natural Emotional Intelligence at deeper and deeper levels of being, allowing them to be moved by and to move the hearts of others. It is this inner integration which brings about understanding and clear-seeing and drives “right leadership action”. Emotional Intelligence is a key differentiator in leadership success. The Seven Rocks of Natural Leadership build Emotional Intelligence.
On many Leadership workshops we are asked “Are Leaders born or made?” Our answer is “Both”. Natural Leaders need to work to develop and unfold inherited capacities and potential. We talk of great Leaders having “charisma”. Everyone has “charisma” when dormant capacities unfold. For many, this potential remains asleep throughout life. We remain “dull”, uninspired and “uninspiring”. Natural Leadership Workshops are a wake up call to latent potential. Through the use of practical tools and techniques, they deepen self-awareness, awareness of others and build creative relationship management skills.
Seven Rocks Natural Leadership provides a platform to help you do the work to become a true Leader. We don’t promise quick fixes. We do promise a path to transformation which will profoundly impact and integrate working and personal lives.
For those committed to long term growth, this will offer a life changing opportunity. Through integrating the deep wisdom and understanding of our ancestors with the latest learning about human consciousness in fields as diverse as psychology, philosophy, spirituality, neuroscience, physics, we work to develop a deep knowing of Leadership. At Seven Rocks we can offer unique insights into the facets of wisdom, awakening a natural capacity to lead ourselves and others.
Recent Corporate scandals and books such as “The Corporation – the Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power” have troubled many who work in the Corporate world. They open an important debate around the role of the Corporation and it’s executives in modern society. Board members are required to act ethically, displaying integrity and creating trust. Yet we frequently see leaders who lack self-awareness, who lack the ability or desire to self-reflect, who do not see clearly, who fail to create spaciousness in thinking and decision making. They do not therefore choose creatively or act with wisdom. Never has it been more important to develop Leaders who have integrity, who are honest and who have a perspective which is broad and encompassing. Seven Rocks Consulting provides a methodology to develop Natural Leadership. We seek to rekindle the innate wisdom of our ancestors and to integrate the best in eastern and western philosophical and psychological models to take wisdom to ever greater depths.
Seven Rocks Consulting builds on the insights of various wisdom 
Abraham Maslow traditions and visionary thinkers including Krishnamurti, Daniel Goleman, Eric Fromm, Ken Wilber and Abraham Maslow.
Building on their inspiration, Seven Rocks Natural Leadership 
Eric Frommexplores the nature of our human potential, barriers to unleashing our full potential and strategies and tactics to facilitate its unfolding. Leaders learn how to maximise their own potential and to facilitate the development of others.
Einstein: “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty”
Seven Rocks Consulting seeks to help free an individual from this limited sense of personal identity through enquiry, dialogue, through practical and tested tools and techniques.
