Performance
Performance - It’s all about Business Psychology - allowing the modernising of organisations that need to move at the speed of cognitive and artificial intelligence through the building of resilience, capacity and excellence without resorting to the frequent laziness of leadership ‘waffle and faddery’
I’ve spent many years working as a commercial manager and leader for a wide range of organisations. I’m still working operationally as an Interim CEO, Chair and NED. So, as a coach, speaker and trainer, I bring actual ‘live’ experience to any situation.
However, I am also across current and future issues to ensure that the organisations, leaders and teams I work with can thrive in a constantly evolving and disruptive environment. Constant communication with thought leaders, global clients and academia allows me to constantly challenge my own worldview to integrate thought and practise.
Blending innovation with practicality is my approach so that the changes you need (whether you want them or not!) can be identified, implemented and embedded speedily and with the minimum ‘fuss’ and drama.
In a modern world, we need to be more ‘fluidic’ in our approach - blending accountability with an adult culture that allows for all styles, diversities and talents to be able to deliver results, create value and produce ‘meaning’ in a complex world.
We may not want the challenges that we face in the current landscape, but that’s what we have to deal with. Let’s help you face it and thrive. After all, we are the ‘people with answers for a change’….

How?
We help build, tailor and implement change through a range of OD solutions from consultancy, facilitation to bespoke L&D programmes. Tailored to your individual, team or organisation’s needs, our change programmes are structured around three key elements:
Developing skills, processes and tools
Building great mindsets
Utilising Business Psychology
Coaching helps to bridge the gap between where you are now, and where you want to be. It can be on a stand-alone basis or as part of a programme and can be face-to-face or online. We use a range of techniques that can help you, your team or your organisation to:
Understand potential
Build resilience
Maximise performance.
Post-covid, speakers need the flexibility to deliver much more than traditional ‘infotrainment’. Budgets and time need to be maximised and our approach to speaking concentrates on achieving both.
Practical, punchy sessions
Innovative ideas for application
A range of approaches from tailored material to in-house interviews

Resilience Unravelled - The podcast
“Russell’s podcast is really eye-opening!”
Dr Russell Thackeray has been building resilience in organisations for a number of years and knows that so many more people could benefit from what QED do. That’s why he decided to collect stories from ‘real’ people about their lives, challenges and learning and turn them into podcasts.
With over 250 episodes, Russell shares thoughts and ideas about resilience with different specialists. He provides a bigger picture of how building resilience can make a real difference, to help people who may be facing similar challenges.
