About
Relate-U-cation®
Achieve Better Business RESULTS
Through
Better Business RELATIONSHIPS
"No More Us vs Them, only WE."
Relate-U-cation® builds on over 20 years as BFSD Global Pty Ltd (BluePrint Foundation for Success Development), where we delivered accredited qualifications, leadership development and skills programs across Australia and internationally -
always focused on achieving results through relationships.
In 2011, we trademarked Relate-U-cation®, adopting the tagline "BFSD – the Relate-U-cation® company" to reflect this focus more clearly.
Today it is our core identity, still powered by the legacy of BFSD Global, and guided by one enduring belief: better business results come through better business relationships.
This belief continues to guide everything we do - our name fully reflects that truth.
From People to Performance
Our Relate-U-cation® story didn’t begin with a model - it began with a frustration. Too often, workplaces are held back by an "Us vs Them" mindset.
Over the past 20+ years, working with leaders, managers, and teams, we’ve seen the cost of disconnection - and the power of changing it.
Transformation begins with Trust:
We believe that in a world of rapid change, hybrid work, and rising complexity, emotional intelligence and trust isn’t optional - it’s foundational.
Relate-U-cation® equips people and organisations to thrive by strengthening the relationships that make everything else possible.
Our Approach
We blend evidence-based tools with emotionally intelligent design - tailored to meet your unique challenges - from leadership development to workplace training programs.
Relationship-First: We don’t just teach skills - we build the trust and connection that make those skills meaningful in practice.
Results-Oriented: Every program connects directly to business outcomes - from improved collaboration, reduced conflict, and inclusive communication to accelerated change adoption and stronger leadership effectiveness.
Flexible & Practical: Whether you need -

-
Strategic support for leaders, managers, and teams driving organisational culture change.

Our Purpose
Relate-U-cation® exists to help workplaces move beyond division.
We do this by guiding individuals, teams, and leaders through our Learning Pathway -
Relate → Connect → Achieve.
This is a journey from self-awareness and wellness, through cultural alignment and inclusive communication and collaboration, to results-driven accountable leadership.
Our motto captures it best:
No More Us vs Them, Only We.
Our Learning Pathway
Our training is built around our three pillars.
Relate
Build the Foundation
Build emotional safety, align values, and create a culture of trust. Programs in this pillar support wellbeing, resilience, and cultural awareness - laying the foundation for inclusive, psychologically safe workplaces.
Connect
Turn Awareness into Action
Strengthen collaboration, dialogue, and inclusive communication. From neuroscience-informed communication to conflict resolution and coaching, Connect programs help teams move from intention to impact.
Achieve
Drive Result Through People
Lead with clarity, resilience, and accountability. Achieve programs develop bold leadership, change agility, and performance alignment—turning strategy into results.
Where to Start
Every organisation’s starting point is unique.
Some begin with Relate, others with Connect or Achieve
- the pathway flexes to your needs.
