YourBrand™
Lead Self • Lead Teams • Lead Change
BRAND-SPECIFIC LEADERSHIP
Your brand differentiates you from the competition. But what about your leaders? Are they building your leadership brand?
Our unique YourBrand™ framework takes a Brand‑Specific approach to leadership development, which is shown to:
- Create a distinct leadership culture that’s aligned to your brand and business strategy 1
- Define and build the leadership competencies that deliver results 1
- Drive employee engagement through brand connection, building ambassadors for the brand 2-4
YourBrand™ also extends the traditional approach of Values Based Leadership and values alignment – as your brand is more than just values – to enable the connection of employees’ personal leadership brands and the corporate brand, to drive employee‑brand engagement. 5,6

ADD CONTEXT TO CONTENT
Leadership is continually ranked in the top two challenges facing organisations, both globally and locally; strong leadership skills are critical to business success.
However, most leadership development programmes lack the context required to deliver to business expectations. Generic training results in generic leadership! 5-8
YourBrand™ adds context to content in a unique way, personalising every module to YOUR brand, industry, business structure AND individual teams.
Plus, unlike other leadership development programmes, it’s not just the presentation slides that are customised. All our professionally designed workshop materials are personalised too!

BUILD LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS
Focusing on leadership as an organisational capability, rather than just the development of individual leaders, builds your leadership pipeline – your next generation of leaders. Your leadership bench.
Organisations that invest in transformational leadership development across their business have also been shown to be 2.4x more likely to be successful in achieving their objectives.9
They’re also delivering on employee engagement, retaining/attracting talent, driving team effectiveness, cross-team cooperation and integration, innovation, agility, increased productivity… and profitability.

THINK ROI
Traditionally, creating a highly personalised leadership development programme would be expensive, either in terms of the internal resources required to build the programme, or the fees of an external consultancy.
As well as driving financial performance, YourBrand™ is also designed to increase your return on investment by providing a highly personalised, contextual programme with no development costs.
YourBrand™ has built in R.O.I!
MODULAR FLEXIBILITY
YourBrand™ has been designed with flexibility in mind:
- Modular framework enables complete flexibility in implementation – modules can be combined according to seniority of employee, team, business unit and/or strategic need
- Modules can also be delivered as standalone training as part of an employee’s Personal Development Plan
Your complete solution to employee development.
LEAD SELF • LEAD TEAMS • LEAD CHANGE
We believe that everyone is a leader – with our without a title – so YourBrand™ is built around three pillars of leadership: Lead Self, Lead Teams, and Lead Change.
Our personalised approach, and the ‘stickiness’ of the Insights Discovery language of colour, ensures that this is not a programme easily forgotten about back at work.
Every workshop is built to enable delegates to unpack their perspectives, behaviours and preferences in a proven, constructive way.
And, we’ll work with your brand essence to personalise the name of the programme, accompanying binder, and workshop materials…
It’s your brand after all!
