★The Self-Assured Leader Leading in the digital age - with focus, calm and success

Everyone talks about transformation – but only 15 percent of all managers actually have the mental and emotional competence to cope with the rapid change and complexity of their tasks. Today, many managers find themselves tired and at their wits’ end. From day to day, chaos and uncertainty prevails and gradually pushes even the most capable to their limits. The joy of work ebbs away. At some point, the joy of life goes with it.

Today, many managers fi nd themselves tired and at their wits’ end. From day to day, chaos and uncertainty prevails and gradually pushes even the most capable to their limits. The joy of work ebbs away. At some point, the joy of life goes with it.

From his many years of coaching practice, Nicholas is adept at recognising the symptoms of depression and burnout. As a successful ex-manager and top executive coach, he knows better than most the tricks and tools managers use to survive the daily treadmill. In the book, Nicholas shows that the way out of this downward spiral lies in the transformation of management practice.

Vertical learning, which has its roots in developmental psychology and neuroscience, is the key to mental, emotional and personal self-transformation. It’s not a question of broadening knowledge, but of effecting fundamental change: developing higher-level mental, emotional and social skills for the improved management of employees. Changes in leadership ethos must begin in the mind.

With his self-developed approach of vertical learning, meditation and embodiment, Nicholas supports leaders on the path to MIND MOVEMENT MASTERY: a state that empowers the realisation of top performance, deep concentration, high creativity and a positive attitude towards oneself and others. This is the key to an integrative, transformational leadership style that is forward-looking for both employees and the organisation as a whole.

Few can say they are equally acquainted with the worlds of senior management and spirituality, but Nicholas Pesch is one of them. He oversaw more than a thousand employees over his long-standing management career and has been practising intensive meditation for more than twenty years in his own personal quest for meaning. Nicholas believes that if we can succeed in reconciling both worlds, we can experience meaning, balance and joy in the chaos of day-to-day business and be fi nancially successful at the same time. As a top executive coach, management consultant, speaker and trained social scientist, he supports decision-makers and executives around the world with his combined approach of vertical learning, meditation and embodiment.
