Hello and welcome to

We Are Shine

Anna Baréz-Brown, founder of Shine

A third of our days on this planet are work days. If we are not truly enjoying what we do and creating a meaningful impact; it's a terrible waste of our potential and of our lives.

As business leaders we know we want more from our people but often don't know how to get it. Working harder is no longer an option. We need to work smarter to help our talented people tap into more of their genius so they can step change our business.

A more human and inclusive culture delivers just that. It's a culture that celebrates individuality and authenticity. It gives everyone a voice and allows everyone to use their unique talents in a way that is purposeful and exciting.

Such a culture is aware that everyone within it has different needs and desires, strengths and weaknesses and that deep understanding means that we can support each other as we face new challenges. And then we can champion those whose voices have been suppressed and ignored for too long, elevating us all in the process.

Shine is not a training course. It is a transformation.

We give your people the confidence, skills, clarity and energy to champion themselves as well as a more inclusive, human culture. We help them listen more deeply and talk more honestly about what's really going on so that together they can improve things every single day.

Often cultures stifle people and then their contributions become muted.

We have become famous for helping women step up and rightfully take their place at the centre of business. This is a particular passion for us and will always be a major part of our purpose. But our principles work for everyone. Deep down we all need more confidence, more belief, more allies, and more clarity.

We need better ways to make every day count whilst truly loving what we do. We all need to be able to finish our day knowing it was a good one and that we have meaningful impact.

This is what Shine delivers.

We believe in digging deeper into what's really going on. None of us are perfect although we do like to create an illusion that we are. We all have our insecurities, our worries and concerns. We all have aspects of our personalities that we dislike and drag us down.

By understanding ourselves better we can use all of these idiosyncrasies to better effect. We  believe it's our imperfections that make us unique and are therefore some of our biggest assets. By sharing and talking more deeply we realise that we are not alone and that we are not unusual in finding work and life a challenge and often a little scary.

Life is tough, but it can also be the most exciting, technicolour ride imaginable. The way that we deal with challenges will dictate how that ride goes.

And that is what Shine helps people to do better.

Our principles work for everyone. Deep down we all need more confidence, more belief, more allies, and more clarity.
