All the consultants, sales manager, p.a. and even the accountant are black belts in karate-do. Colin Reeve, founder of the company and a martial artist who has practiced and taught karate around the world for the past 40 years uses the practice of karate and metaphors from the martial arts as a tool for helping people lead more fulfilling lives and to learn skills such as communication, coaching, leading, empathy and sensitivity. Also growing and aligning the emotional, physical and mental capacity of people to help them gain and maintain a balanced, positive and relaxed state in this fast moving impatient world. These are powerful tools to enable individuals to release their energy and potential, getting more from themselves for themselves, the family they live in and for the business they work in. Often described as “inspirational”, Colin is given credit for causing others to make beneficial changes in their lives. Through training with Colin’s company, participants learn how to uncover their potential, remove self-imposed limits and negative thoughts, allowing themselves to be the person they are and want to be. “Without a doubt I felt that the training was highly challenging and I feel genuinely changed by it. No delegate can emerge without a feeling of personal growth.” European Business Manager. Colin believes that a business leader and a teacher of Karate-do share the fundamental role of helping people to grow; enrolling them in a fulfilling purpose to awaken them to their potential and release their energy into living meaningful lives. “The workshop gave me the skills which I can apply to all aspects of life, to help me lead others and develop my own potential. Colin is truly inspiring and his ability to nurture the whole group was tremendous.” Sales Manager. “As with leadership and management the practice of Karate-do continually confronts us with our potential and our limits asking leaders and students to take responsibility for their lives, to hold a purpose and to live their lives on purpose. Asking them to make the choice between being magnificent and ordinary on a daily basis.” Colin Reeve The Way of Artistry & Grace by Colin Reeve is a book that is packed with practical ideas and metaphoric descriptions to help us discover a way to live that incorporates the areas of self-development, leadership and the martial arts.
