Watch how we’ve been able to help Geoff & his team at Interflow
Establishing a leadership culture to enable the continued growth and customer and community service
Interflow has been a leader in water and pipeline infrastructure for over 85 years. To enable its continued growth to its customers and community, Brave Insights facilitated a highly developed leadership program for both the executive team and senior leadership group.
Brave Insights facilitated a highly developed leadership program for both the executive team and senior leadership group. The participants showed us what makes Interflow such a great business, their willingness to change, adapt and challenge the status quo made for an incredible leadership experience.
We also partnered with Interflow to refine its organisational framework for the future, define its culture through values and behaviours that are core to its success and make progress on complex challenges that enable them to prepare for and more effectively navigate their continued growth.
Geoff Weaver, Managing Director Interflow
"Brave Insights provided us with this support over the last two years, challenging us to be our best as Interflow’s leaders. The Brave Insights team has been responsive and flexible in line with the needs of our business, as well as our fellow leaders. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Brave Insights so that we can continue to drive performance and cultivate a people-first culture of engagement.”

Enabling a culture of innovation and growth at one of Australia’s leading super funds
Over 30 years, Rest has grown to be one Australia’s largest super funds. It supports over 200,000 contributing employers, around 1.7 million members and has more than $54 billion of funds under management (as at 30 June 2020). To support its strategy towards achieving its mission to be recognised as the most trusted super fund in Australia, Rest partnered with Brave Insights to deliberately and progressively shift workplace culture to constructive behaviours and a growth mindset.
Brave Insights ran an 18-month intervention with the top 60 senior managers at Rest, a leading Australian super fund, as it was facing disruption in its market and increased regulatory pressure. As a historically successful organisation, it had a strong foundation of capability and legacy but needed to increase its capacity to change in order to achieve growth and succeed in this new operating environment.
Using a combination of techniques and tools specifically designed for each layer of the organisation, the Brave Insights team created the conditions where people could surface, question and disrupt their ways of working to identify new approaches; increasing the capacity of the organisation to achieve its strategic goals.
Supporting a culture of coaching in a leading beverage company in Australasia
As a company, Lion is renowned for its culture and leadership. To support the strength of its Australia-based team and enable the fast-growing operations in the United States and the United Kingdom, Lion engaged Brave Insights to develop their coaching practice.
Brave Insights introduced adaptive coaching strategies through a 4-week Building Resilience for Leadership Program to enable Lion Leaders to integrate coaching into their daily leadership practice. By creating opportunities to connect, explore growth opportunities and exercise their energy, the program has supported them in building their resilience and provided strategies to support others to be their best.
"The sessions were conducted with a group of senior leaders in our business – all of which had a wealth of Coaching experience.
All of us left each session having learned something new about the type of leaders we were, and, more importantly, a clearer view on the type of leaders we wanted to be.”

Pact Group is the largest manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging products in Australasia and aspires to lead the circular economy through reuse, recycling and packaging solutions. In pursuit of their ambitious aspirations to lead the circular economy the Packaging Australia Leadership Team underwent a significant transformation. Pact engaged Brave Insights to help proactively support and accelerate the formation of its Leadership Team and quickly develop its practices to enable the success of its short term functional strategy.
Brave Insights partnered with Pact’s leadership team to build a strong foundation of trust through the real work of their strategy – no games or trust falls required. By developing high performing practices in the real work of leadership, this team was able to rapidly build trust, collaborate and achieve together. With all the slow informal niceties of team formation pushed aside this group got to the real work of leadership, pushing boundaries that enabled the team to form a high degree of trust very quickly and achieve the stretch goals of their short term strategy.
