Frequently Asked Questions
What does Performance Intelligence do?
Performance Intelligence is a human performance advisory firm. We work with senior leaders, executive teams, and organisations across Australia to build Leadership Capacity, develop mental skills, and embed sustainable performance habits. Our work is diagnostic-led: we use data from the PQ Index to personalise every program, keynote, and coaching engagement.
Who do you typically work with?
Our primary audience is senior leaders and their teams, including ASX-listed companies, government agencies, professional services firms, and high-performance sport organisations. We also work with HR and L&D leaders who are building performance cultures from the inside out.
What makes Performance Intelligence different from standard leadership training?
Most leadership training generates awareness but doesn’t change behaviour. Our approach is built around diagnostics, coaching, and behavioural reinforcement: the three things the research shows actually embed new habits. We measure before and after, so you have evidence of change rather than anecdotal feedback.
Where is Performance Intelligence based?
Our head office is in Sydney, Australia. We work with clients across Australia and internationally.
How do I get started?
