About Varna Group

Great managers create great workplaces

Great managers. Maybe you were lucky enough to report to one. Someone who inspired and challenged you. Who believed in you and helped you grow. A manager you loved working with and wouldn’t hesitate to work with again.

Our purpose is to create more of these managers.

A trusted curator of best practice

We want to let you in on a little secret: Everything that can make a manager exceptional is already out there. It’s just a matter of finding it, aggregating it in a simple and practical way, and creating an engaging experience that drives learning and application.

That’s what we do.

Meet Varna Group

Varna Group is a boutique leadership development provider helping organizations create managers who unlock the full potential within their people.

We approach our work with a clear focus to help you mitigate people-related risks — low connection, disengagement, fractured culture, and talent loss — that impact business performance.

We are former leaders and facilitators from CEB Leadership Academies, with experience developing leaders in 80% of the Fortune 1000 and 70% of the Global 2000. We leverage our expertise in best practice research and the science of motivation to focus your managers on what is proven — not on the latest fad or buzzword — in order to engage your people and achieve extraordinary results.
