“Vision without action is but a dream. Action without vision soon fades. But vision with action can change the world.”

Working with individuals and teams

We enable a transformation in self-esteem, confidence, leadership and performance. If you show up consistently at your very best, you are happier and more effective at home and at work.  Your energy, enthusiasm and emotional intelligence create a positive ripple that influences the whole culture of your team and in turn your organization. People who can lead themselves in this way and are committed to leading others to be the best they can be transform working environments from ordinary to extraordinary.

Building connection between people

Building connection between people

Building connections is the essential ingredient and recognizes that no one has ever achieved anything on their own. We are inter-dependent. We need the support, encouragement and belief of others to make things happen and most certainly to achieve personal and collective goals. We need to be challenged too if we are to reach our true potential. We need the positive influence of great leaders at home, at work, in society. Enabling collaboration and developing great leaders is at the heart of Make it Yours. The broader benefits of bringing together the diverse best of what every individual possesses in order to make a difference in society is what drives me and those connected with Make it Yours. You too can benefit from this ethos by engaging with Make it Yours.

By engaging Make it Yours you can offer a different leadership and build a powerful new culture.

Creating more effective leaders

Leadership has rightly come under scrutiny. People in positions of power – our leaders – in politics, sport, education, business and the charity sector have been criticized.

Failing to engage staff can be attributed to poor leadership and management skills. If people have been placed in leadership and management positions without the necessary development to enable them to fulfill such a crucial role. Organisations that put them in those positions cannot be excused – they have a duty of care to their leaders and to their people.  

Leaders and managers must be developed and set up for success not failure. Worse still, other more damning criticism has been leveled at leaders who have fiddled expenses, taken over-inflated wage packets, demonstrated willful blindness, bullied or harassed their people with the misguided intention of getting more from them or to take advantage of their vulnerability.  These are indefensible acts by ‘supposed’ leaders.  

We recognize and embrace the responsibility to develop leaders who do the right thing and make the right choices.

The role of a leader is to create the conditions for their people to do their best work. They need to have self-confidence and a belief in their people demonstrated in the way they engage with them, their ideas and their skills and a profound interest in them as people and their potential.  Leaders need to win the trust, confidence and respect of their people and this demands that they know their people and their people know them.  

"The secret of my success – I can sum up in two words: know people."

— Harvey Firestone



We believe ‘better people make better leaders and better performers’ – we help people to be better and equip them with leadership skills to make them and their people more effective. We enable leaders to understand themselves better and have the humility, vulnerability and genuine interest in their people to win their support and commitment. We also assist leaders with the enduring practical skills to be an effective leader.  We address the ‘doing’ and the ‘being’ of leadership and we have consistent transformational impacts.
