Corporate Vision workshops, and strategic alignment. This began with a two-hour selfreflection coaching session informed by CliftonStrengths and Mattone’s MLEI assessments, followed by a oneon-one coaching session. This led to a threeday leadership workshop focused on vision, governance, trust-building, and executive team restructuring. The objective of the new C-Suite Elevation Programme is to improve the business impact of the C-Suite individual, not just to their department but to the core business metrics of revenue, costs, and profits by helping them tap into their inner core. By identifying internal drivers and behaviours, leaders gain deeper self-awareness that improves how they lead, interact, and influence results, ultimately driving performance across the organisation. “We’re proud to launch our new C-Suite Elevation Programme, a deeply immersive experience built around the Intelligent Leadership methodology by the US-based Mattone Group, with whom we are accredited,” Luke shared. “C-Level leaders have massive ripple effects. When their leadership improves, so does the engagement, productivity, and alignment of entire departments.” As the workplace continues to evolve, shaped by generational shifts, technological advances, and a growing demand for emotional intelligence, MadeYou is expanding its C-Suite Elevation Programme to meet the movement. The programme will now include workshops on wellbeing, and unconscious bias, helping senior leaders adapt their styles to lead multigenerational, diverse teams more effectively. While AI has the potential to support certain learning areas, MadeYou – named Malta’s Employee Training and Development Company of the Year 2025 – remains committed to coaching as a deeply human practice committed to helping leaders navigate complexity with clarity, empathy, and purpose. Contact: Luke Todd Company: MadeYou Web Address: https://madeyou.eu/ Bold Coaching for Real Leaders A business is only ever as strong as its people, from its new employees to its most senior levels of management. Effective leadership plays a crucial role in the success of any business by inspiring employees, driving innovation, and creating a positive work culture. Based in Malta and the UK, MadeYou is a leading company that specialises in leadership development and employee training, taking a unique, people-first approach to its development solutions. We spoke to Luke Todd below, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MadeYou, as the company is named in the Corporate Excellence Awards 2025. Since its inception in 2014, MadeYou has been on a mission to transform businesses by unlocking the potential of their leadership and management teams. The company is driven by the belief that by developing and empowering key leaders, organisations can achieve meaningful improvements in engagement, productivity, and business results. Guided by this ethos – and its core values of loyalty, resourcefulness, and quirkiness – MadeYou effectively helps leaders work smarter and achieve greater impact. In an oversaturated market, MadeYou stands out for its commitment to fun, partnership, and real-world experience. The company believes that people learn best when they are engaged and having fun, and ensures that each session is interactive, immersive, and memorable – for the right reasons. While it does offer one-off sessions, MadeYou recognises that its best work happens when it collaborates deeply with clientele, helping organisations align development with business goals from the inside out. These expert solutions are delivered by coaches and trainers boasting invaluable real-world experience. Each member of MadeYou’s development team has held senior roles in large organisations and had their own successful career growth before transitioning into coaching and training. This means that MadeYou injects authenticity and understanding into its sessions, sharing hard-won insights and practical tools based on real situations that many other coaches and trainers across the industry simply do not possess. Internally, the MadeYou culture is distinctively unique. “We are a team of empowered, capable individuals who trust each other to excel,” Luke explained. “The mentality is that you are the best person to do your job. Everyone is given ownership and authority, with minimal management interference, but always ready to support when needed. My leadership style is supportive, guiding, coaching, and enabling. Collaboration is natural and encouraged. In fact, the team often just reach out to each other to support without involving me, which fosters a high-trust, low-ego environment.” It is this strong internal culture that has paved the way for MadeYou’s continued success and growth. Recently, the company acquired a new iGaming company, which has grown from a startup and now sits at over 300FTE. The client’s C-suite team was small, with a slightly larger extended leadership team, but they did not know how to work together. The team were still utilising startup mentality – which now showed an ineffective structure, numerous solos, and a lack of a larger-term vision and goals.
