At Barilliant, Australia’s No.1 personalised chocolate bar brand, we specialise in custom chocolate gifting for corporate events, leadership programs, and brand experiences.
One of our most meaningful collaborations has been with EQ Strategist, a leadership development organisation known for empowering teams through emotional intelligence, resilience, and purpose-driven culture.
A Corporate Collaboration Built on Purpose
EQ Strategist, founded by Dominic and Sue Siow, has spent over 20 years helping organisations develop:
- emotionally intelligent leadership
- resilient teams
- purpose-driven workplace culture
- high-performing organisations
Through executive coaching, leadership development, and culture transformation programs, EQ Strategist works with organisations across Australia to strengthen leadership capability and drive meaningful change.
This alignment made them an ideal partner for a custom chocolate gifting collaboration designed to enhance their event experience.
Transforming a Leadership Message Into Custom Chocolate Bars
To celebrate Dominic Siow’s book:
“What’s Great About This?: How to Be Resilient and Thrive Through Disruption and Change”
Barilliant created personalised chocolate bars inspired by the book cover design, transforming a leadership concept into a tangible, memorable experience.
These custom chocolate bars were used at corporate workshops and leadership events, allowing participants to engage with the message in a unique and unexpected way.
Rather than a standard handout, the chocolate bars became:
- a branded experience
- a conversation starter
- a memorable takeaway aligned with the event theme

Custom Chocolate Gifting for Corporate Events
This collaboration highlights how personalised chocolate bars can elevate corporate events, leadership programs, and brand activations.
At Barilliant, our custom chocolate gifting is designed to:
- reinforce brand messaging
- align with event themes and content
- create memorable guest experiences
- deliver a premium, tangible takeaway
Whether for workshops, conferences, or leadership events, custom chocolate bars offer a refined and engaging alternative to traditional corporate gifts.
A Meaningful Corporate Gifting Experience
For EQ Strategist, the personalised chocolate bars reflected a simple but powerful question at the heart of their work:
“What’s great about this?”
By integrating this message into a physical product, the experience extended beyond the event — creating a lasting impression for participants.
This is where custom chocolate gifting moves beyond product — and becomes part of the experience design.
