What people are saying about Illumify’s leadership development

The Illumify experience had a profound impact on me personally and professionally. It enabled me to realize what matters most to me, and to have the means to realize it.

– Lynn Roger, Chief Human Resources Officer, Chief Transformation Officer

Board Chair

I never thought speaking was my forte or that I’d actually enjoy it. But I do now thanks to strengthening my leadership communication capability through Illumify for Executives. I see speaking in meetings, presentations, panels and keynotes as opportunities to advance my leadership initiatives.

I speak confidently and compellingly about the two visions of change that matter most to me: women’s place in the financial industry and ensuring all Canadians have financial security in retirement. Already women are telling me, pretty vocally, that I’ve changed the industry from a female leadership perspective because they now can see themselves in my role. We’ve got lots more to do but I know now how to express the leadership that will get us there.

– Oricia Smith, President

When I began Illumify for Executives, I had been deliberately downplaying my own leadership to support that of my team members. I have a different understanding of leadership now, and how to convey it. I know that language has a huge impact on it. And that the deep thinking necessary to identify a vision of what must be, as well as the ability to articulate it, is both powerful and transformative.

Upon becoming CEO of Achev, I wanted to create a new collaborative and inclusive culture called OneAchev. Getting clarity on this new initiative, however, was proving difficult. There was no shared vision of what it could be.

My decision to engage Illumify had a tremendous impact on both the OneAchev initiative and all who participated. Answering the Illumify Game Changer questions enabled team members to see the new OneAchēv initiative so clearly and powerfully that it was soon ready to launch and unify the organization. It was hands down, a “win, win, win.”

To ignite meaningful change

Leaders say a lot about themselves

Whenever you speak as a leader, you reveal a lot about yourself. As you may have often heard me say, words matter to leaders. Why? Because they speak volumes about you.

Hey leader, it’s not just about you.

It’s not about you. Well, not just about you. If you’re managing a team or an entire organization, you know this. But it’s even more true if you’re leading. And yes,

Are they responding to your leadership?

Do you know exactly how you need them to respond before you open your mouth to speak? If not, just like Alice, you’ll end up somewhere. But is it where your
