Programme Overview

With every UnBox™ programme, you’ll work directly with both Barbara and Meg. Together, they bring decades of experience — Barbara’s 35+ years helping founder led businesses in the SME space to close the gap between who they have become, and how they are perceived, supporting them to build belief. Meg brings 25+ years of empowering larger teams to manage meaning, facilitate the change, and drive brand consistency at scale.

 

What You’ll Gain

  1. Clarity: Identify what sets your brand apart, who you are beyond money, what you stand for in the eyes of your audience, and why.
  2. Alignment: Rally your business or leadership team around a compelling story and a clear guiding principle.
  3. Action: Using our guidance and practical tools, cohort businesses leave with their brand on one page; leadership teams leave with a shared roadmap for how the brand shows up day to day.

 

For Investors & Scaling Hubs

Bring us a cohort, and we’ll do the rest. UnBox™ is built for investors with portfolio businesses, and scaling hubs ready to put their community through a shared brand programme. Each business pays its own way, the hub or investor simply makes the introduction. Across a series of live workshops, every founder works through the same guided process alongside peers at a similar stage, and walks away with their brand on one page. Talk to Barbara about how this programme can support your portfolio or hub by booking a conversation here.

 

For Leadership Teams

Struggling with communication, culture, or the same problems resurfacing again and again? UnBox™ brings your leadership team together to break down silos, clarify what your brand truly stands for, and co-create a clear, actionable vision for how it shows up, inside and out. Co-led by Barbara and Meg, this is where a fractured team becomes one story. Talk to Barbara about how this programme can support your leadership team by booking a conversation here.
