Be Leadership. Developing social leaders for greater impact.

We believe in creating a partnership with our clients and social partners to consistently deliver work with business and social impact.

We deliver measurable business impact

Our goal is to ensure every engagement results in real performance improvements and clear outcomes. Whether it’s a multi-year leadership development journey, a six-month executive coaching program or an immersive virtual hackathon, our development experiences result in real reflection, learning and change for those participating.

We combine social impact and leadership development

We create impactful learning opportunities by connecting global corporations and purpose-driven organizations to solve important societal & organizational problems.

Participants develop their social leadership skills

Our experiential programs give leaders an opportunity to assess themselves on essential Social Leadership skills and practice these skills while doing real, meaningful work.

We work with inspiring social partners

We create powerful connections between organizations, communities and individuals, opening the eyes of our participants to new outlooks and perspectives.

Our participants learn through action

We take people out of their comfort zone to focus on real challenges that result in action, supporting them in reflecting on what they’re learning and the impact it has on their work, organizations and lives.

We believe in running a responsible business and are committed to social impact through our work, how we operate and where we spend our time.

Our beliefs around positive impact are embedded within our company’s mission. Not only is social impact central to our work, our social partners operate across the spectrum of the Sustainable Development Goals to improve lives and create a better world. At Be Leadership, we strive to act as role models around social leadership behaviours and encourage our clients to think more creatively about ways they can also practice strategic corporate social responsibility. 

People

We believe every leader has a role to play in making the world a better place not only for their employees but also for customers and social partners. Throughout our work we focus on helping leaders become more effective day to day, expanding their influence in positive ways.

Planet

We bring our passion for the environment into Be Leadership by role modelling behaviours we hope others may emulate. We use technology to reduce our effect on the planet through virtual working, we sponsor school and community clean-up efforts, and we power the Be Leadership office with electricity and gas purchased from a 100% renewable energy supplier.

Profits

We bring together corporate leaders and inspiring social enterprises who contribute positively to their local economies. We support these social organizations to be even more successful by helping them solve urgent business challenges.

Our Partners

We believe all organizations have a role to play in society. That’s why we have created Reason to Be, an arm of our business that isn’t about making a direct financial return but instead focuses on giving back.

At Be Leadership, we offer selected pro-bono consulting services and financial support to deserving non-profits and social enterprises that are helping to make the world a better place. In the long run, we believe that when selected strategically, these types of social investments not only make the world a better place but are good for business as well.

As part of this work, we are running the Beautiful World Campaign, whose goal is to create positive connections between communities, purpose-driven organisations and individuals. Having created these connections, we support these relationships through clear contracting, pro-bono consulting services, and selected financial support.

We believe everyone deserves a chance for a happy and fulfilled life.
