Why Qi Exists
Qi Performance wasn’t built to follow the traditional path. It was born from years inside complex, high-pressure environments — working as a senior leader alongside senior leaders — seeing what helped performance and what held it back.
​
I’ve led large teams, navigated matrix organisations, and sat at the top table. I’ve seen how the right leadership can unlock momentum, trust, and results — and how the wrong leadership can destroy them.
​
Over time, I found myself repeatedly drawn to one area where I felt the focus was lacking — strengthening leadership capability in a way that aligns with what the business truly needs. I saw the consequences when this was neglected — and they were too great to ignore.
​
So I chose to specialise - building on my existing expertise by investing deeply in coaching, behavioural science, team dynamics, and leadership development — enabling a more focused, strategic approach to the leadership challenges that matter most.
What We Believe
We’ve seen what happens when the right leader is in the right role — and it’s transformative. These are the people who deliver powerful results, lift others, navigate complexity, and build environments where performance flows.
​
And we’ve seen the opposite. The cost of poor leadership can be catastrophic — eroding trust, draining culture, damaging wellbeing, and unravelling business performance from the inside out.
​
That’s why we do what we do. Because leadership capability isn't a nice-to-have — it’s a make-or-break dimension of business success.
How It Feels to Work With Us
We bring clarity without ego, challenge with compassion, and depth without the jargon.
​
Clients tell us it feels different working with Qi — more grounded, more real. That’s because we care about what we’re doing and who we’re doing it with.
​
We don’t take over. We partner. We listen. We build trust quickly, and we don’t shy away from hard conversations — but we always bring heart.
The Qi Way
Working with Qi Performance is energising, thought-provoking, and grounded in the realities of your business. We listen deeply, challenge thoughtfully, and co-create solutions that are practical, personal, and anchored in performance.
​
We’re guided by a few clear principles:
Clarity before capability — Start with what the business truly needs
Leadership is a business asset — It drives performance, not just people
Energy matters — Sustainable performance requires it
Context is everything — Leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all
Real change is co-created — With the leader, the team, and the business
​
This is serious work — but we bring lightness, perspective, and care to every conversation. Because developing leaders should feel as impactful as it is human.
