The Illumine Approach: Leadership Growth That Moves From the Inside Out
Every organization wants leaders who can think clearly, adapt quickly, and collaborate deeply — especially in a world defined by complexity and change. Illumine’s proprietary Movemental Model equips individuals and teams to build those exact capacities, transforming personal insight into organizational performance.
The Movemental Model
At the heart of Illumine’s approach is the Movemental Model, a research-informed framework that connects the inner life of every individual on the team to the outer work of that team. It’s built around three progressive stages that drive measurable impact:
Grounded
The foundation of leadership and teaming begins within. Grounded leaders and teammates are self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and resilient under pressure. They bring stability and presence to every interaction — the essential qualities of trust and adaptability.
Growing
As leaders evolve, so must their teams. The Growing stage strengthens communication, collaboration, and the capacity to navigate tension and change. Here, teams learn to thrive amid ambiguity and align around shared goals — even when perspectives differ.
Performing
High-performing organizations are made up of leaders who are both grounded and growing. This stage is where insight turns into innovation — and where cultures of accountability, inclusion, and creative problem-solving take root.
What This Means for You
When your organization partners with Illumine, you gain more than a keynote, workshop, or coaching engagement — you gain a structured pathway for measurable development. Every collaboration begins by understanding where your leaders and teams are today, using Illumine’s validated Movemental framework to surface strengths and growth opportunities. From there, Christy and her team design a customized experience — whether through speaking, facilitated sessions, or executive coaching — that builds momentum where it matters most. Over time, ongoing engagement and assessment make growth visible, measurable, and lasting.
The Science Behind the Model
The Movemental competency framework is organized around the three stages — Grounded, Growing, and Performing — and defines the specific mindsets and behaviors that predict effectiveness at each level. Every assessment item is validated against this framework, ensuring that development insights are both credible and actionable.
The Bottom Line
Illumine’s Movemental Model and assessment framework accelerate leadership growth, strengthen team alignment, and deliver measurable impact that outlasts traditional approaches. It brings clarity to complexity — helping your leaders grow stronger from the inside out and your organization perform at its best.
