Businesses don’t succeed by chance — they succeed when leadership capability is strong.
What We Do
Qi Performance exists to help organisations succeed by aligning leadership capability with what the business really needs — now and into the future.
We focus on senior leaders and leadership teams, where clarity, alignment, and capability have the greatest impact.
This isn’t about generic development. It’s about building the strategic leadership capability that enables performance today, drives transformation, and sustains long-term results — even in the most complex environments.
Who We Work With
We work with senior leaders and leadership teams who are already making a difference and want to take it further — as well as those who know they want to make a bigger impact, but need help figuring out how.
They take leadership seriously. They know that how they lead and how their team works together is as critical as delivering a budget or hitting a target.
They’re self-aware, open, and curious. They don’t expect magic wands, but they do want real, grounded support that helps them lead well — and grow in ways that create lasting positive impact.
How We Help
Leadership Team Design – Getting the right people in the right roles with clarity and purpose
Executive Coaching – Supporting leaders through growth, complexity, or change
Team Effectiveness – Strengthening trust, alignment, and collective performance
“Working with Qi Performance is energising, thought-provoking, and grounded in the realities of your business.”
About Nicki
I founded Qi Performance because I care deeply about how leadership shapes both the performance of a business and the experience of work.
I’ve spent over 15 years in senior HR roles within complex multinationals, led major transformations, and worked as the HR lead within executive teams navigating growth, restructure, and reinvention.
In 2016, I established Qi Performance to specialise in leadership effectiveness — helping organisations align leadership capability with business strategy.
Since then, I’ve worked with CEOs and senior teams across the UK, Europe, North America, and China.
My work is grounded in real-world leadership and business performance. I bring together strategic insight, behavioural science, and deep leadership development expertise — including 1:1 coaching and team effectiveness — to help leaders lead well, in context.
