Sebastian shares with Claire, how he mentored a child who was plagued by bullies and within 3 weeks the bullying stopped. He shares insights into his life as an Entrepreneur, which led him to leave the the UK for Dubai, with his wife and young daughter, to expand his business and to work personally with the Royal Family and how building community in his business alongside a strong team has been fundamental to the business growth and success. Sebastian's background in Martial Arts spans 25 years, in which he has studied 6 styles, becoming an international professional fighter, several times British Champion and competed in 4 styles nationally. After recovering from a near fatal parachuting accident, and told he would never walk again, Sebastian regained his full health and within brought the Warrior Academy global and became a best-selling author in the area of character development. Having released his book 'The Warrior Method' in 2018. While expanding The Warrior Academy globally, he provides bespoke private mentoring for high profile clients including the Royal Family in Dubai, where he now resides with his wife and 2-year-old daughter. Sebastian is currently writing his second book "Not A Victim", a practical, emergency survival guide to help parents mentor their children through bullying, using a system that Sebastian has developed to help hundreds of young people. While also working with cognitive scientists to link bullying with cognitive development in an inter-continental, culturally diverse experiment. His vision is to build a socially conscious global organisation, to inspire a generation to make a global impact and to disrupt the educational system to put the development of character as a higher value than achieving good grades." #WarriorAcademy #WarriorFamily Social Links www.warrioracademy.ae | www.warrioracademy.co.uk Facebook | Linked-In | Instagram | Amazon | Whatsapp --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peopleandculture/message

Welcome to the first episode of the People and Culture Podcast. Claire is super passionate about her vision to make employee happiness the norm and not the exception but context is always helpful. Claire's work is about building relationships in the workplace but we can only do this if we start to understand each other. We do this through stories and getting to know each other through conversations. It's therefore super important that we learn about our colleagues, our leaders, our thought leaders and so, in this same spirit, in this podcast Claire shares an insight into her world. Why she left the corporate world and what inspired her to become an Entrepreneur. She also shares the one thing that might have stopped her leaving the law after all ;) I hope you enjoy it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peopleandculture/message
