Built around the 12 UNLEASH Principles

How ready are you for uncommon opportunities?

Your next opportunity may depend on more than what you know or what you can do. Take the Index to discover the behavioural patterns that may be helping — or limiting — your ability to recognise, attract, maximise and sustain uncommon opportunities.

36 questions · About 5 minutes
How you operate
    How you relate
      How you work

        Know where you are. Know what to work on.

        The UNLEASH Index is a behavioural self-assessment that helps you understand how you currently operate, relate to others, and approach your work — and identifies the behaviours you can strengthen to become more prepared for what comes next.

        Before you start

        Welcome to the UNLEASH Index

        This isn't a test of intelligence, success or personality. There are no perfect answers.

        You'll be presented with situations that people commonly encounter in everyday life. Choose the response that best reflects what you are most likely to do — not what you think you should do.

        Answer honestly

        The value of your result depends on how accurately your responses reflect your current behaviour.

        Overview

        Over the program, Envoys took part in systems change training, fireside chats with leaders from business and tech, knowledge sharing sessions, peer reflection and one-on-one coaching. They then put what they learned to work through personal and group initiatives.

        Each Envoy leaves with a post-program plan: a concrete commitment to carry the principles into their careers and communities.

        2. Scale awareness and impact of the UNLEASH principles.
        3. Catalyze positive change in our communities.
