What is Light Up for Leaders and what does it do?

Working with business leaders for over 25 years, Mel Pledger is an award winning executive coach, TEDx Speaker, published author, and creator of the life-changing DNA Light Up system that has been creating waves since 2009.

Light Up for Leaders is not just coaching.
It’s a structured game change.

Light Up for Leaders is Mel Pledger’s exclusive experiential training journey for those who demand more from themselves and their people. It elegantly guides clients from IQ (thinking) to EQ (feeling) and through to SQ (knowing).

Linking D(IQ), N(EQ) and A(SQ)

The DNA of Light Up for Leaders – Discover, Ngage, Activate. These three sessions take you to SQ – your rock solid foundation.

Light Up happens two weeks after Activate. Shining a light on your whole life, designing your own blueprint for success.

Imagine moving from doubt, to certainty. From questions, to answers. From stuck, to inspiration. From apathy, to full-on “let’s get this done!”

This is Light Up for Leaders.

Measurable results include:

Absolute clarity in who you are and what you stand for, an end to imposter syndrome.
Powerful engagement and communication, an end to conflict.
Rock-solid sense of certainty and direction, an end to doubt.
Aligned goals and values, an end to confusion.
Clear cut action, an end to procrastination.

What is the process, how does it work?

The first three steps of Light Up for Leaders are Discover, Ngage and Activate. This is the essence, the DNA of the programme; guiding clients from thinking, to feeling and through to knowing. The Light Up session (two weeks after Activate) brings all the techniques together in to a personalised plan to ensure maximum impact and lasting change.

Discover (IQ, thinking) – The Four Pillars, tools for life:

  • Habits – recognise them and shift them fast
  • Focus – how to choose your experiences at will
  • Physical – how to alter physicality in an instant
  • Hara – feel calm, clear and grounded at any time

Ngage (EQ, feeling) – Real-life instant impact, on self and others

  • Noticing – recognising your own set of hidden keys to unlock problems and deliver instant results
  • Gremlins and Heroes – tiny words that have a huge impact

Activate (SQ, knowing) – Identify, interpret and engage with your unique inner guidance

  • Treasure Hunt – identify your personal blueprint
  • Light Up – how to influence the world around you
  • Discernment – how to make decisive choices about people and situations
  • Decision-making – how to make clear-cut decisions every time
  • Resilience – how to dissolve threats and remain strong in any situation

Light Up – Shining a light on your whole life

Light Up for Leaders is also available as a licensed development tool you can incorporate within your business!

“We were keen to examine how our teams were structured and working together. … DNA encouraged us to think differently, examine routes and possibilities that we probably hadn’t considered up until that point… This has genuinely altered our approach to work and changed the way we communicate.”
