Which is why building your optimal culture begins with understanding the values at the root of it. Values – conscious or unconscious – are the motivation for every decision made or action taken.

Values: The Foundation of Culture
When your people thrive, your organization thrives.
Employees have their own values when they walk in the door, and they are influenced everyday by the values they experience in your organization. Understanding the values currently at play is essential to put your wanted culture into action, and develop the organization and leaders you need for the future, to execute your strategy.
This is where our approach is uniquely effective. We have pioneered and continue to perfect ways to discover and activate your values to forge a targeted, measurable path towards a thriving culture.
Cultivating Culture
Cultivating Culture starts with measuring your current culture and the desired culture. This understanding is gained through Barrett Analytics™. As Barrett Certfied™ Consultants, we use Barrett Analytics™ because they offer the proven, customizable assessments used by thousands of organizations worldwide. Understanding culture with shared metrics gives you insight to how to intentionally develop it.
Barrett Analytics™
Barrett Analytics™ are widely recognized for their ease of use, detailed diagnostics, and meaningful insight. They are based on proven methodology and perfected over more than 25 years of real-world experience, used by thousands of organizations and leaders around the world.
Leadership Development
As a leader, you make decisions and manage employees, of course, but you are also a de facto cultural leader. Consciously or not, your manner and behaviour convey a wide range of cultural markers and set the stage for a healthy or dysfunctional organization. It is no wonder then that leadership development is an essential part of cultivating culture.
At YES, we use Barrett Analytics™ to magnify leadership effectiveness by helping leaders recognize their true cultural impact and embrace an authentic leadership style. Leadership Development grounded in values-based insights builds the skills leaders need to:
Work
Work more effectively with your leadership team.
Utilize
Better utilize the “soft skills” necessary to create a truly fulfilling and productive workplace.
Engage
Engage with integrity and authenticity, the basis of trust.
Find
Find greater satisfaction, meaning, and connection in your work.
THE BARRETT MODEL™
The Barrett Model™ is a breakthrough work. Inspired by Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and tested over more than two decades of real-world experience with thousands of organizations, the model identifies the seven areas that comprise human motivations. These range from basic survival at one end, to service and concern for future generations at the other.
It provides a proven and extraordinarily useful map for understanding the values of your employees, leaders, and stakeholders. Even better, it offers a means for creating more supportive and productive relationships between them, and a deeper alignment of purpose across your organization.

Cultural Transformation:
C-Suite Team Coaching
The Challenge
There had been a lot of innovation, but a lack of execution and accountability. Also, on the engagement survey, “Growing People” scored lowest of the Leadership Competencies. There was a need, therefore, for the Leadership Team, and all Leaders, to be more authentic, have the courage to speak up, take action to achieve results and execute excellence, for themselves and for their teams, and to grow their people for higher performance.
The Solution
Over the course of a year, we focused around authentic leadership and building trust horizontally.
Demonstrating top level collaboration to create a culture of trust and collaboration that then cascaded down and across the organization.
We then developed C-Suite’s coaching skills to coach their direct reports to bring this cultural transformation to life.
The Result
There had been a lot of innovation, but a lack of execution and accountability. Also, on the engagement survey, “Growing People” scored lowest of the Leadership Competencies. There was a need, therefore, for the Leadership Team, and all Leaders, to be more authentic, have the courage to speak up, take action to achieve results and execute excellence, for themselves and for their teams, and to grow their people for higher performance.
Large Scale Rollout for
1,000 Leaders across APAC
The Challenge
There was a struggle to develop the talent (5,000 employees) in Asia Pacific because they were not future-ready to take on bigger stretch assignments. There was a need, therefore, to embed an inclusive and growth mindset culture, and for Leaders to shift their mindsets to be more open and receptive, understand their team members’ gaps and develop their own employees.
The Solution
We co-created 2 programs on Inclusive Mindsets and Performance Coaching.
The purpose was to equip Leaders to develop their own employees to be future-ready to take on bigger stretch assignments.
We then upskilled the client’s internal resources to deliver these programs and supported them throughout the whole intervention.
The Result
There had been a lot of innovation, but a lack of execution and accountability. Also, on the engagement survey, “Growing People” scored lowest of the Leadership Competencies. There was a need, therefore, for the Leadership Team, and all Leaders, to be more authentic, have the courage to speak up, take action to achieve results and execute excellence, for themselves and for their teams, and to grow their people for higher performance.
