    About this audiobook

    Stretching across 500 miles of northern Spain, the Camino de Santiago has been a pilgrimage route for centuries. Setting off as a competitive, shrewd negotiator with little patience for small talk, Victor Prince emerged as a very different person-more balanced, more caring, more present in the moment, but looking to the future. Prince translates this growth experience into seven leadership skills, each linked to values that have guided Camino travelers for centuries. With reflections from the road and for the workplace back home, he recounts how he learned to:

    Live in the moment
    Welcome each day, its pleasures and its challenges
    Make others feel welcome
    Share
    Feel the spirit of those who have come before you
    Appreciate those who walk with you today
    Imagine those who will follow you

    By aligning the path to leadership with a literal journey, The Camino Way offers fresh perspectives on bringing people together and achieving goals-with a pilgrim's heart, a way-farer's grit, and a leader's vision.

      Many people that completed one of the Camino routes across Spain to Santiago de Compostela want to convey their impressions. Some post travelogues to Youtube or process their encounters in a novel (e.g. Graeme Simsion & Anne Buist in their Camino and the Dutch philosopher and theologist Willem Ouweneel in his De vrouwe van de Camino) or produce a full movie (The Way, 2010). Others use the Camino as a poster child for compassion like Patrick Gray & Justin Skeesuck did in the movie and book I’ll push you. Although American Victor Prince skipped the Pyrenees, booked hotels for all nights ahead instead of staying with other pilgrims in the aulberges for €10 per night on the Camino Frances, there's still a lot to share and apply in 'real life' with or without the experience of walking for hundreds of miles.Enclosed in an introduction to the history of Christian pilgrimage and practical tips on preparing for the Camino, Prince elaborates the Spirit of the Camino, seven reminders of things pilgrims should do while on the Camino:Welcome each day, its pleasures and its challenges.Make others feel welcom.Share.Live in the moment.Feel the spirit of those who have come before you.Appreciate those who walk with you today.Imagine those who will follow you. In chapters dedicated to each of these principles, Prince relates to his own adventures, applies it in a business or leadership setting, and borrows quotes from fellow Camino pilgrims, whom he either met in person, or online in groups. The Camino Way (2017) is a multi-angled perspective on each of these principles that may sound superficially, but can guide you as a professional in daily life as much as the pilgrim on his sabbatical leave, mid-life crisis, or life-changing long distance walk. The Camino radically changed Prince's course from a career in banking and consulting to one as an author and public speaker on leadership and transformation topics.
