IGNITE

The framework for senior leaders to speak
so their change, growth or transformation matters enough that others act to realize it.

 

Built on The Illumify® Method — the internationally award-winning, evidence-based body of knowledge in leadership communication.

You’re a high performer who’s worked hard to be a leader.

Now you’re responsible for outcomes you can’t deliver on your own. Your ability to achieve depends on others to do their part.

You communicate clearly. You tell them what matters, and how to do it. They listen, nod, and agree.

But little changes. So you say it again. And again. You adjust the message. Add more context. You try to get even clearer.

And still it doesn’t translate into consistent action. The initiative slows. Momentum fades.

And ultimately —  your leadership is questioned.

high-performing leader

 At this level, it’s rarely a strategy problem.

It’s whether what you’re saying is actually creating movement across the organization.

There’s a difference between:

Saying what matters …

And saying it in a way that those who can help realize it think and act to make it the new reality.

IGNITE Your Leadership

IGNITE amplifies your leadership impact

IGNITE reveals The Illumify® Method — proven by hundreds of executive leaders to accelerate and achieve their leadership initiatives.

It is hybrid digital, by design. Built to slot into the leadership communication you’re already preparing. As little as one hour a month.

Inside IGNITE, four pillars of capability:

Work on what matters

Live executive coaching and strategic counsel on the leadership communication you’re already preparing — town halls, leadership meetings, board updates, the moments that count.

Strengthen how you lead it

Three short, high-impact digital mini-modules each month teach The Illumify® Method — the principles, practices, and delivery techniques that make communication land and drive action.

In community with other leaders

Reflection, conversation, and peer learning with other senior leaders navigating similar leadership responsibilities and pressures.

Build lasting capability

Exclusive resources, including the proprietary Leadership Communication Template — so each time you speak, they act. And in alignment.

 Designed For:

Senior leaders and leadership teams driving change, growth or transformation –where communication isn’t optional. It’s consequential.

 

Leadership is revealed not by how often you speak.
But by what happens as a result.

Testimonials

My intent is different now. It was always to make sure the person I was speaking to understood what I was saying. Now there’s the strategic thinking of what I want them to do.

It’s changed from what I want them to KNOW, to what I want them to DO. That’s the difference in what they’re hearing. That’s the difference in impact.

Chris Cheng, Vice President
Prospr

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. I speak confidently and compellingly about my vision of change for women’s place in the financial industry. 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
Sun Life Global Investments

Marianne challenged my assumptions on leadership, what it means to be a leader, and the things leaders should strive for. The Illumify Method gave me a different perspective on leadership and a compelling platform to use. 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.

Andrew Bakhit, Managing Director
Bayshore Specialty Rx

I never knew my communication could do this much work.

Meet Marianne Gobeil, creator of IGNITE

I’ve spent over 30 years as a professional communicator — including 20 in leadership communication. I’ve seen, more times than I can count, what happens when leaders say the wrong thing, or fail to say the right thing at the right time.

Initiatives stall. Reputations erode. And the change that matters most never gets realized.

That’s the problem I built IGNITE to solve.

My career has spanned journalism, speechwriting, corporate communications, public relations, media training, crisis communication, and leadership communication — as a long-trusted advisor to CEOs, Presidents, C-suite executives, and other senior leaders in global organizations, not-for-profits, government, and the UN.

After years of research, I created an evidence-based body of knowledge on how leaders need to speak. It has won international awards and recognition, and has been the basis of my work with leaders for the past 20 years.

That’s what IGNITE is built upon.

In your role, communication isn’t optional. It’s consequential.

If the change you’re leading really matters — and you want your communication to do the work for you, certain that it will — you’re in the right place.
