The brand of any team or organisation today is created by what your colleagues and stakeholders say about you to their professional networks. What they feel about your team or department will always come from their interaction with your people.

This is what Lesley calls ‘Brand Personality’, defined by your people who sit at the core of your authenticity as a team or organisation. 

Having an entrepreneurial mindset as a leader supports your team and stakeholder brand personality.

Therefore the mindset of an entrepreneurial leader or manager:
  • is authentic and genuine
  • is driven to get results
  • is in control of their career and personal growth
  • is strategic and visionary
  • understands themselves and their core strengths and expertise
  • builds solid relationships
  • understands how to motivate and inspire
  • understands people and how to get the best from them
  • is visible and well-known for what they are great at
  • manages their digital reputation strategically
  • takes people with them
  • has a strong network and connections 
This master class explains the structure and foundation for building a strong brand as a manager or leader or team and the practical tools and techniques for you to use, immediately you leave the room.

I must stay that the "Creative Problem Solving" elective by Valerie that I took at Ashridge has made a huge impact on how I deal with challenges that I face at work. The insights and strategies that I gained reflects years of experience condensed into two days by Valerie. Extremely thankful for the great techniques in problem solving.

Recommended by: Santhosh Prabakan, Senior Project Manager, VirtusaPolaris
Lesley Everett

I recently attended an online interactive workshop on personal branding with Lesley Everett focused on taking control of your personal brand, reinforcing your reputation, and differentiating yourself. It was great, I just wish I had heard something similar years ago - it would have saved me a lot of time, angst and effort.

Recommended by: Susan Ball, Partner, RSM UK

One of the most empowering group sessions I was lucky enough to be involved in, was introduced to our team and facilitated by Allan. His relaxed and measured approach enabled the space and time to work through our own hurdles, whilst enabling sharing best practice and having clear actions as a result. A lot of what I learnt in those groups, I still use to this day.
