In these masterclasses we focus on helping leadership teams explore the importance and power of purpose in driving organisational change and success. A leader’s values and ethics can have a big impact on their employees and building a high-performing culture.
Guided by Pulse’s 12 principles of purposeful leadership, the sessions look at ways in which to connect with purpose on an individual, team and organisational level.
We work with our clients to understand their culture, objectives and desired outcomes and tailor each masterclass accordingly.
Many businesses are changing how they view their role in society and are recognising their increasing role in engaging their employees on the journey.
A sense of purpose, and how to integrate purpose into the workplace, is increasingly seen as one of the most important drivers of long-term organisational success. This success benefits not only the bottom line but also employees, customers, the supply chain, investors and the world at large.
This masterclass explores the power of purpose in driving organisational performance and what it takes to be a purposeful leader.
It will be run as a practical and interactive session in which we explore different frameworks to help your purpose become more meaningful, concrete and central to your organisation’s performance.
Combining purpose and profit is extremely challenging but this has moved from a noble to a critical business priority.

The UN SDGs are a call to arms for businesses to operate sustainably and deliver real meaning behind why they exist. All stakeholders are expecting more from the business community and companies are increasingly recognising the business case for embracing the Goals.
This workshop reviews how we can personally engage with the UN SDGs and how they can be used as a catalyst for organisational change.
We will explore frameworks that will help your purpose become more meaningful, concrete and central. Taking in the UN SDGs we look at the challenges we face as a society and what we are capable of doing.
At the core of the work is the connection between personal and organisational purpose and the potential to unleash the capability of every employee.

It has become clear that many of the issues the world faces require a fundamental rethink in how they are addressed. Understanding feminine qualities is critical if we are to move away from our current mindset and achieve some of the major challenges the world faces.
Inner feminine qualities and values such as compassion, listening, inclusivity, generosity, love and service to others are critical to any healthy culture.
And likewise, the more external masculine characteristics such as defining, controlling, organising and managing are fundamental to any successful organisation.
This masterclass considers when and how these feminine and masculine qualities, which we all have, can and need to be accessed. We focus on the qualities needed to tackle the task at hand rather than address gender issues.

It’s not always the positive side of one’s character that creates world-class leaders or builds high-performing organisations. There is energy and great potential in the dark side of our personalities.
We explore how an understanding and mastery of the dark side of our characters provides an edge to our ability to live the purposeful leadership principles and deliver a positive impact in the world.
We also look at the dark side of an organisation and how it got to where it is. We consider the role the dark side can play in future growth and development.
In this masterclass we take lessons from the fields of psychology and peace keeping that can help guide organisations around what might be holding them back without them being fully aware.
