Workshop and Program Design Principles

We believe that this Workshop and Program is different from many others today. Other Programs focus on the development of external information and ideas. This is the “outside-in” approach. Our Philosophy recognizes that we can all cultivate our inherent qualities. Management is a skill that can be externally learnt but Leadership can come from within. We cultivate this via our “inside-out” approach. Anyone can be taught to be a Manager-some will be good Managers and others will be not. Leadership comes from within and when adopting our Philosophy you can become a Natural and Authentic Inspirational Leader. Our Program symbolizes the expression “Going beyond yourself”. We believe that most of us are subject to many self destructive and negative qualities that hold us back from achieving true satisfaction and fulfilment in our work and life. Essentially we are “held back” by the subjective view that we hold of ourselves. We believe that we can free ourselves from the Self Destructive Behaviours and Outcomes that characterise our limitations and by embracing the Program Philosophy one can truly “Go Beyond the self” and thereby find direction and purpose and achieve greater self fulfilment. Our Philosophy is simple in the belief that we need to learn how to “Lead Oneself before Leading Others”. For many of us we think that it is not important to lead others. Consider first the importance of leading oneself. “It is better to be the Master of oneself and to master our reaction to the surrounding circumstances rather than to be mastered by our self destructive nature and be overcome by all the surrounding circumstances in life.” Although we may have no inclination to go beyond such self leadership we should consider that regardless of our circumstances most of us have responsibilities to others. It is for this reason that we need to extend our leadership qualities beyond ourself and to strive to be our inherent best. This best is represented by our Highest Human Virtues and Aspirations The Program has been designed in the belief that it is inherent within most people to strive for the best within themselves. The Founder has spent over 30 years researching and developing the Philosophies within the Program. These Philosophies have then been applied to our Modern World within the context of what we call “Practical Wisdom”. Aspects of the Program Philosophy have been derived and applied from Teachers and Philosophers such as: Aristotle- Plato- Archimedes- Lao Tzu -Hui Neng and Confucius. The Workshops are structured in such a way to ensure that 50% of the Program time is devoted to teaching by the Facilitators and 50% devoted to practical interaction and learning by the participants. All participants are encouraged to be actively engaged within the Workshop with each other and with the Facilitators.

The size of each Workshop is limited to 25-30 participants and we strive to ensure that we have a well balanced class within a suitable learning and harmonious environment.

outcomes that can prevent us from being a True Inspirational Leader Through Practical Wisdom get a more realistic view of human nature Understand the difference between Manager and Leader Create your own Leadership Model that works for you

Target Participants This Program appeals to a broad range of people at a different phase of their life. It may include those looking for a New Beginning or those seeking Continued Growth. The New Beginning Phase appeals to

Benefits and Outcomes It is important for all of us to become our own Leader. In fact we should all be our own CEO. We should take responsibility for our own thoughts and our own actions. Do not leave things to others but rather we become our own Master. “It is better to be the Master of our own Life rather than be mastered by our life” The benefits and outcomes to individuals are:

Improved Self Confidence to lead with presence and clarity Authentic Communication to initiate honest conversations and

collaborations Develop deeper Understanding of Human Relations and overcome self

destructive behaviours and attitudes Develop Calm Assertive Energy by being less stressed, worried and reactive

and become more resilient Find Happiness and Fulfilment and enjoy increased capacity to lead and

inspire yourself and your organisation Develop Noble Inspirational Leadership by cultivating Inner Virtues to

sustain you through great stress and difficulty and act from highest levels of integrity and authenticity

Develop a working philosophy from which leadership abilities and self reliance will be a natural outcome

Develop lasting friendships appreciating diversity and common humanity of participants across boundaries of colour, religion, gender, culture and nationality.

Development of a Personal Noble Creed The benefits and outcomes to Organizations Our Philosophy is that in order for organisations to truly thrive and to inspire true commitment, passion and drive from all their employees they need to create, develop and maintain a corporate philosophy. This Philosophy should be such that it will create a culture of “belonging” for all people. All people include all stakeholders from the Chairman down and across and into all the activities of the organisation. This Philosophy should create a sense of “belonging” for all people which is integral to workplace health and happiness.

This sense of “belonging” can become a “Noble Cause” within the Organisational Philosophy. Without the sense of belonging and being cared for by the Leadership, each other and the Organisation then the level of commitment, passion, core values and competencies will be difficult to achieve.

Values Alignment The absence of that sense of belonging creates a gap between the expectations of the Employer and those of the Employee. This gap is now measured by the increasing level of workplace disconnection which is so evident throughout the business world. It is clear that our Programs can do much to fuse the relationships within organisations and to continually enhance the sense of belonging and being valued. Everyone wants to belong-everyone wants to believe that they are a valued contributor-everyone wants to be accepted, but for some this is a difficult gap to cross.

Essentially we like to be able to understand the proclaimed Values of the Client

Organisation and then to align those Values to the Noble Virtues and Aspirations

thereby bridging that gap. When personal values of the individual are aligned

with those of the Organization and those values are seen to be authentic people

will collaborate more and work towards a Noble Cause which will be driven from

their own aligned values.

As a result of this we see that an environment can be created where the following can be achieved:

People will collaborate more and work towards a shared vision which will

be driven from their own aligned values Trust becomes natural and assumed Everyone in the organisation can become happy, healthier, inspired and

authentic Interpersonal conflicts will reduce and fear, stress and anxiety will

disappear People will want to stay in the organisation and others will want to join and

it will become a recognised and admired Employer of Choice Turnover rates will decrease People will engage more with each other with increased morale and

productivity Individual and organizational health will improve Injury rates and sick days will decrease The insurance costs will decrease People will become more independent and driven to succeed Employer and employee relationship will become more harmonious People will be more motivated and alive

Organisational Change and Program Suitability One of the difficulties facing organisations today is the impact of uncertainty and doubt within all their people. With the conditions of constant change and the impact of uncertainty and doubt then fear will arise. This fear can be seen in 3 significant ways-the 3 Faces. The Face of Judgement: When we are judged harshly or feel that we are judged harshly then fear will be the result. The source of this is often our own lack of self awareness possibly combined with poor health habits. The Face of Uncertainty: Many people are detrimentally impacted by the “faceless” mask within many organisations. When the effect of this impacts individuals the usual response is to hallucinate the worst outcomes. A recent study by the American Quality Foundation of 580 companies shows that the uncertainty and doubt caused by ambiguous behaviour, inconsistency, vague comments or absent authority leads to a cycle of fear and mistrust. The Face of Silence: This can begin with the sense of isolation within the organisation. People stop talking to you and you sense that your feelings and your input is no longer of meaning or value. This sense can then lead to a cycle of self destructive thinking impacted by our own negative assumptions and then fear is the result. All of the above can be features of workplace change and can result in decreased productivity, loss of good people and the creation of a very negative workplace environment. This Program is highly suitable for the following conditions and environments:

Organisations going through a period of change Organisations experiencing changes of leadership Organisation Restructure with the potential for job losses and increased

demands and expectations Organisational Expansion with increased demands and expectations.

By understanding the above the Noble Leader Program can help individuals and groups to overcome their fear and doubt sometimes caused by others and often caused by themselves.

Graduate Testimonials “After 2 workshops, I find that it is still evolving inside me. I have made many new friends all over the world who now share this bond created, shared and experienced by all those involved. The virtues are indeed Noble and all Leaders need these virtues. It is a matter of acceptance of the practice, development and cultivation of these virtues in our daily lives that has the greatest impact. In a sense I have more direction & less clutter in my mind. Others say that I seem calmer & more at peace with myself. “This is the best leadership Program that I have done and it will not be forgotten”

Senior Governmental Director

“This Program has opened up an avenue of fundamental opportunities for oneself to finally be happier, healthier and a more worthy person” Senior Executive-Multi National Automotive Corporation

“This Program enables you to find your TRUE SELF and to build a REAL SELF and to inspire everybody around you.” University Executive

Other It is impressive and brilliant your idea of nobility for the future and to master the difficulties in life. Nobility is a superior type of non-profit motive for economic striving and social serving. It’s a transcendent urge of superlative wisdom. The noble attitude prevents corrupt cycles spiritually and materially, that deteriorate the society. But how to bring this "life style" to the society? Maybe the solution relies on education that has too long been localistic, militaristic, ego exalting, and success seeking; it must eventually become worldwide, idealistic, self-realizing, and cosmic grasping. Eventually it must be given over to the philosophers and the scientists. Teachers must be real noble leaders in their fields, to the end that philosophy, the search for wisdom, may become the chief educational pursuit.

Philip Lee

Regional Director Malaysia and Singapore

Philip enjoyed many exciting years in banking with a career in market trading which began with the floating (and crashing) of the Aussie Dollar in 1983, through tumultuous interest rate movements, watching global equities crash and gold skyrocket on HK opening, up till the very eve of The Asian Crisis and the meltdown of Asia’s own version of Lehman Brothers and the devastating consequences thereafter. He has witnessed the common thread of human strengths and weaknesses throughout all this confusion. The lessons, between writing tickets from rectifying a few cents to FX Option pairs of USD 50 million face values per leg, were all about the personalities behind the dealings. From fellow traders in the dealing room to central bankers astride their cigars, it was then as it is now, ultimately about the behaviour and reactions of normal human beings put under extraordinary circumstances and crushing pressure. The lessons that he learned at that time are now valuable to those that he now guides and mentors through their own lives. Most importantly during the last 14 years, he has been involved in running the family owned business of food manufacturing (Yuen Chun Industries Sdn Bhd) , a hundred year old enterprise, first as the Finance Director, thence as Managing Director and now as Chairman of the company. Although a very different environment, the challenge of running a business with around one hundred staff was and continues to be a unique and in some ways, a deeply moving experience for Philip. The task of representing shareholders interests, leading staff and fulfilling obligations to suppliers, institutions and customers has been seen by Philip as a big responsibility and a unique honour. He has multiplied the enterprise value by over 3 times during his tenure, but has now decided that non-family involvement in the daily operations of the business will allow the other professional managers a chance to develop and take the business up to the next level. The experience gained during the challenging yet fascinating years in the business led him to work with an established HR consulting firm that specialised in profiling tools and job suitability towards the end of 2009. In quick succession, he attended a Leadership Workshop and became an Ambassador for the Noble Leadership Programme in December of that year. In 2010, he progressed to become a Certified Master Performing Coach approved by the International Coach Federation. Philip brings all these experiences to further establish the Noble Leadership Programme of workshops and courses to share and benefit with the rest of the region and is excited to present the new 2 day course with new materials to many more Ambassadors going forward.
