Our Products

At ilume, everything we do is geared towards growing bigger minds.

We do this through a pioneering, proven approach that is the first and only three-dimensional leadership assessment and development program in the region. Unlike other coaching programs that traditionally focus on just one dimension, we believe that leaders are multi-dimensional, so your development should be as well.

Growing Bigger Minds

We transform the mindset of leaders to unlock their true potential. At the heart of our leadership products is our MindSet28 constructive developmental framework – the new global benchmark in transformational leadership development.

Leadership Team Development

The adaptive challenges facing today’s organisations calls for high-performing, synergistic leadership teams. By developing an executive cohort who can think and work collectively, an organisation gains far greater capacity with the same amount of resource, lifting it to new heights of effectiveness.

Executive Coaching

What if the problem isn’t what the leader knows, but who the leader is? An individual is multi-dimensional, which is why coaching also needs to be. To be effective, leaders must be superior to the complexity of the environment around them. We will help you unlock a new mindset, ultimately changing the way you think, interact and behave.

What is MindSet28?

Unlike the majority of other coaching programs and organisations who only look at leadership development as just one-dimensional (horizontally across behaviour), we have created the first and only three-dimensional leadership assessment and development program in the region: MindSet28.  In doing so, we specialise particularly in vertical development (cognitive, social/emotional), which is where leadership development really sits and will continue to sit in the future. We often say horizontal development is about transferring information (filling up your proverbial backpack), while vertical development is about transformation (growing the size of your backpack).

View Mindset28 Introduction

Leadership Team Development

By developing an executive cohort who can think and work collectively, an organisation gains far greater capacity with the same amount of resource, lifting it to new heights of effectiveness.
The adaptive challenges facing today’s organisations calls for high-performing, synergistic leadership teams. Our leadership team development program works with executive cohorts because we believe that no one individual knows the solution or can define the challenges alone. By developing the executive team together as a whole, the organisation will gain far greater capacity with the same amount of resource, creating real competitive advantage. The uniqueness of our approach is underpinned by MindSet28, geared towards growing bigger minds by looking at all three dimensions of leadership development. Already proven to be the gold standard in leadership development, we are proud to have had a profound impact on the personal and professional lives of some of the world’s greatest leaders.
The MindSet28 Executive Cohort
One of the biggest challenges that leaders face is a sense of loneliness and the feeling of ”doing it by themselves”. Ilume has created a peer-to-peer MindSet28 Executive Cohort to bring together like-minded executive leaders who wish to accelerate their learning and development.  Our MindSet28 cohort gives leaders a genuine sense of belonging, helps to expand their networks, and offers a platform to work through challenges and opportunities together with their peers in an intimate and confidential environment.

Why change
Leaders, especially executives, tend to get cynical about being sent on yet another course they don’t want to go on or that just adds more skillsets and competencies – 95% of these programs are guaranteed to have focused on just behavioural (horizontal) development, i.e. one-dimensional. The problem with this is that their knowledge is full – they’ve heard and seen it all before. The additional challenge is that while they might already know it, they just can’t be it. In our approach, we understand that, for these leaders, it’s actually a developmental challenge, i.e. the process of growing bigger minds. We focus on developing leaders along the vertical axis of cognitive and social/emotional development, putting them back in the driver’s seat of their own self-growth.
Who is it for
Executives and senior leaders within the organisation. We take a group of individuals and create an energised high-performing executive team, making them each more agile, adaptive and self-aware. If any of these questions resonate with you, then this program is ideal for your organisation: Do your leaders need to be given the opportunity to change or reposition themselves to meet the needs of the future? Are new leaders required? Is collaboration and collective thinking the way forward for success? Do you require new levels of innovation, new thinking and rejuvenated strategy? Does your organisational communication need to be improved or reinvented?
Outcomes
The program creates leadership teams that operate at a higher level of effectiveness:

  • Increased learning agility, meaning adapting to new leadership roles
  • Better resilience
  • Self-awareness from three dimensions
  • Comfort with ambiguity, meaning creating more impactful decision making
  • Strategic competence, meaning generating more complex solutions
  • An energised, high-performing executive team who are collective in their thinking and problem solving
Program structure
Our programs are bespoke, where we design your program based on our learnings about your organisation. Our programs are also highly experiential with guidance and frameworks for the real world. In fact, each cohort is asked to select a business project to apply learnings for immediate organisational impact. In terms of structure, we follow a fundamental structure of three modules across three months for eight days – the first and second modules are three days, and the third module is two days. We recommend an off-site venue to break free of the day-to-day routine.
Alongside this, there is an individual executive coaching program for the duration of the leadership team program for each member. In many cases, this is carried on for a further period of six months.

Executive Coaching

Our internationally accredited ICC Executive Coaching will help you unlock a new mindset that will change the way you think, take your relationships to a new level, and ignite personal and professional growth.
The power of one-on-one ilume Executive Coaching cannot be underestimated. By helping to grow your mind, you will be able to access an elite level of leadership excellence that you never thought possible. We will assist you by illuminating a path to a whole new level of understanding, adaptability, agility, empathy and openness that will elevate you to your full potential.
Where traditional coaching focuses just on behavioural change (the horizontal or quantitative dimension) such as mental capacity and competence (what you know), our MindSet28 framework opens you up to a new world of cognitive and social/emotional development (the vertical or qualitative dimension) such as mental growth, mental fluidity, capability and self-awareness (who you are). We believe that three-dimensional development is the future of executive coaching as modern leaders increasingly face greater uncertainty and complexity in their operating environments. By growing a bigger mind, you will be equipped with the tools, mindset and ability to overcome any challenges you face – now and in the future.
MEET YOUR COACHES
Why change
The complexity and speed of transformation today requires the new generation of business leaders to think very differently from their counterparts even 10 years ago. The uncertainties brought about by the global economy, technological developments and ever-increasing demands and expectations of stakeholders and customers demand a new set of leadership skills.
The old management textbooks no longer apply, and so business leaders are left to navigate their own pathway through the unknown. It can be challenging and lonely. And when faced with stress and uncertainty we are all pre-programmed to revert to our default settings. Even if they don’t work particularly well. Undoing these patterns is one of the most important things you can do to achieve true personal growth.
Who is it for
CEOs, C-Suite executives, General Managers and those aspiring to be organisation leaders.
Outcomes
We will help you unlock a new mindset and your greatest potential – ultimately changing the way you think, interact and behave:

  • You will learn how to be. Any leader can choose to use his or her competencies and behaviours, but they cannot choose how to be; that’s a vertical dimension – it’s who they are.
  • You will become more effective because you’ll be able to think in more complex ways. Studies have shown a clear correlation between higher levels of vertical development and higher levels of effectiveness.
  • You will increase your cognitive and social/emotional quotients, such as increased mental growth and fluidity, capability and self-awareness.

Your mind will be bigger (the size of your proverbial backpack will be larger).

Course structure
What can you expect from your executive coaching? First and foremost, get ready to be challenged! Your program will be entirely tailored to your goals, starting with debate and discussion around a well-considered set of questions that are just for you and your circumstances. We continue with well-proven methodology and toolbox of interventions that guide you towards desired outcomes. And you’ll experience a belief system that demonstrates the coach knows you and is genuinely interested in assisting you to greatness.There are three different programs to choose from depending on what you are keen to achieve:

  • 4 Session Discovery
  • 6 months program – 8 sessions of 2 hours each
  • 12 months program – 14 sessions of 2 hours each

Ultimately, it is together that we will shape what it is you want to get of your ilume Executive Coaching.

Radical Candor™

Radical Candor™ is the ability to Challenge Directly and show you Care Personally at the same time. It will help you (and all the people you lead) do the best work of your life and build the best relationships of your career.

Because Radical Candor is on a mission to “rid the world of bad bosses”, and ilume is on a mission to “develop the world’s greatest leaders”, we could not be more aligned. This exclusive partnership allows the ilume team to deliver the transformational Radical Candor workshops for businesses in the Australian and New Zealand markets.

We present Radical Candor to your organisation, introducing the core concepts, building a shared vocabulary and sharing stories that will help your team relate to the ideas. We’ll then spend time answering questions and clarifying points, helping people begin to connect with Radical Candor. We’ll then cover tactics that everyone can put into practice immediately.

Who is it for

Both business leaders and executive coaches, we’ve realised that – culturally – people in organisations struggle to have direct and caring conversations in the workplace. This lack of candour leads to breakdowns in communication, relationships and productivity. But it’s something that can so easily be fixed with a simple, yet powerful, approach.

READ MORE

Outcomes

As part of the workshops, we teach managers how to improve their feedback processes, and we help teams understand their role in the feedback process. As teams get started, we’re there to clarify and answer questions.

READ MORE

Program Structure

After the initial introduction of the concepts, we’ll move into hands-on training to help your team further internalise the concepts and learn how to apply them in your context. We guide your team through real-life scenarios in a safe and supportive environment, and give you actionable pointers on how to practice Radical Candor in your workplace.
