... to an Open House at the Cleveland Aikikai (Aikido school) in Cleveland, Ohio.
If you're interested in the leadership approach that I discussed in my book Leading People the Black Belt Way: Conquering the Five Core Problems Facing Leaders Today, then you owe it to yourself to visit the Cleveland Aikikai next Saturday, June 28, 2008.
Here's the information:
Cleveland Aikikai
Evolved from the ancient arts of the Samurai, Aikido is a modern martial art that emphasizes peaceful, non-violent conflict resolution – ending the at-tack without harming the attacker. While most martial artists are taught to only use their training in the event of an unprovoked attack, Aikido is also considered a spiritual path of self development with self defense techniques designed to prevent injury to the attacker. There are no competitions or tournaments in Aikido and students of all ages and physical abilities progress at their own pace.
• Aikido Demonstrated by Adults & Children
• Iaido—the art of drawing and cutting with the Japanese Sword
• Snacks & Refreshments

Self-Defense for Leaders, Corporate Travelers, & Mental Health Professionals
AP Press posted an article on the tragic death of New York psychologist Kathryn Faughey, who was brutally murdered by her office, possibly by a client.
The article states,
"An attacker slashed Faughey 15 times with a meat cleaver and a 9-inch knife in her Manhattan office Tuesday evening. A psychiatrist who worked in the building, Dr. Kent Shinbach, came to Faughey's rescue and was badly injured."
Clearly the work of a sociopath in a rage, the article noted,
"Police also recovered three knives at the scene, including a 9-inch knife and a meat cleaver that were apparently bent from the force of the attack."
Sadly, these violent people are out there.
Leaders, Mental Health Professionals and Corporate Travels need to know what to do. Tim Warneka, CEO of The Black Belt Consulting Group, black belt martial artist and author of several best-selling books including: Leading People the Black Belt Way: Conquering the Five Core Problems Facing Leaders Today; and Healing Katrina: Volunteering in Post-Hurricane Mississippi; and The Way of Leading People: Unlocking Your Integral Leadership Skills with the Tao Te Ching; and Black Belt Leader, Peaceful Leader: An Introduction to Catholic Servant Leadership has a program that fits your needs.
Tim Warneka offers Self-Defense Keynote Speaches & Training for Leaders, Corporate Travelers and Mental Health Professionals.
Let's keep Dr. Faughey's family in our prayers.

Are Aikido principles Effective? They’re Good Enough for the 21st Century Marines
Are Aikido leadership principles effective? The U.S. Marine Corps. thinks so.
When the U.S.M.C. wanted to bring their soldiers into the 21st century, they tapped psychologist Richard Strozzi-Heckler, an Aikido instructor and leadership expert from Marin County, California, to bring Aikido principles to the Corps. Richard documented his experiences in his fascinating book, “In Search of the Warrior Spirit.” I read "Warrior Spirit" several times through while I was researching my "Leading People the Black Belt Way" book. I I highly recommend "Warrior Spirit" for anyone interested in leadership. (Which is why I am very proud that Richard was willing to write a foreword for my latest leadership book, "The Way of Leading People: Unlocking Your Integral Leadership Skills with the Tao Te Ching.")
In the past several years, the program that Richard began has been institutionalized into the Marine Corps. Currently called the Marine Corp Martial Arts Program taught out of the MACE (Martial Arts Center of Excellence), over 45,000 soldiers each year are taught some of the core underlying principles of Aikido.
The focus of MACE is three-fold:
1. Character development
2. Mental Discipline
3. Physical Discipline
The MACE program is being continuously refined and revised … and yet Aikido principles remain at their core.
Aikido leadership principles … if they are good enough for the Marine Corps, they’re good enough for YOUR organization.

Tim Warneka selected as presenter at International Creativity Conference!
I very excited to announce that I'll be presenting at the 2007 International Creativity Conference at the world-famous Gestalt Institute of Cleveland!
Here's the information .....
***************************************************************
Black Belt Keynote Speaker Selected to Present at International Creativity Conference
Motivational Speaker Blends Martial Arts, Emotional Intelligence for Creating Success
Cleveland, Ohio – June 8, 2007 – Black Belt Keynote Speaker Timothy Warneka has been selected as one of only 20 international speakers to present at the International Creativity Conference at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland. Warneka, co-author of the new book The Way of Leading People: Unlocking Your Integral Leadership Skills with the Tao Te Ching will present “Celebrating Flow: How to Manage More Creativity than You Can Handle” for the conference being held in University Circle August 8 – 11, 2007.
“The conference planning committee for Gestalt & Creativity: An International Conference is pleased to welcome Mr. Warneka to the celebration,” says Sarah Toman, Ph.D, an Associate Professor at Cleveland State University and a member of the Creativity Celebration Planning Committee at the Institute. “I’m very honored to have been chosen to present to members of the world-wide Gestalt community,” said Warneka, a visiting faculty member at the Institute.
The conference features Margherita Spagnuolo Lobb as keynote presenter. Ms. Spagnuolo Lobb hails from Italy and is the editor of Creative License: The Art of Gestalt Therapy (Springer Verlag, 2003).
The Gestalt Institute of Cleveland was founded in 1954 by some of the earliest students of Fritz Perls, Laura Perls, Isadore Fromm, and Paul Goodman. It is the most well-established and largest institute in the world dedicated to the study of Gestalt theory to work with individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations.
The Institute’s website explains that the term Gestalt is a German word that means a complete pattern or perceived whole. “A Gestalt approach strongly encourages looking at the big picture,” states Warneka, who uses these principles in his keynote speeches for organizations. The president of the Black Belt Consulting Group, Warneka also holds black belt ranking in the revolutionary non-violent martial art of Aikido. “Gestalt and Aikido complement each other beautifully, and they both very creative.” observes Warneka.
A professional keynote speaker and author of several books, Warneka explained that creativity is a central theme of leadership. “My latest book, The Way of Leading People draws on 2500 year-old wisdom from China that explains how to be more creative as a leader,” stated Warneka. The book is available through the publisher Asogomi Publishing International as well as on-line book sellers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
