Improve Employee Engagement, Workplace Culture & Team Dynamics
Welcome to The Performance Launchpad
Helping You Capture the Human Element of Business to Motivate Every Employee to Be Their Best
The Performance Launchpad is a collaboration between James Bryden, The Productivity Coach, Dr Kate De Jong, at Inspired Business, and Mauro Daviddi, Relationship Counsellor. We help businesses like yours create an environment where talent thrives and success follows naturally.
You Can’t Fix What You Don’t Know
Most businesses invest heavily in systems, processes, and technology, but miss the most critical element: truly understanding their people. Not just their skills or experience, but their unique strengths, values, motivations, and career aspirations.
I’m personally passionate about this because I spent twenty-five years in a career I hated, struggling to discover my natural strengths and what to do with them. I eventually crashed and burned as a result.
The Performance Launchpad changes that.
We capture the human element of business through detailed, nuanced analysis that helps employees work in their zone of genius, their happy place, creating a workplace where every employee feels seen, heard, motivated, and valued for exactly who they are.
When employees feel seen, heard, and valued for their unique strengths, values, and aspirations, they become naturally motivated to do their best work. The business results follow naturally.
Our proven methodology, powered by Harrison Assessments’ cutting-edge behavioural science, gives you deep insights into what makes your people tick. As an experienced EQ consultants in Perth, we use emotional intelligence frameworks to turn these insights into meaningful action, helping you:
Place the right people in the right roles.
Develop leadership that inspires.
Build teams that genuinely work well together.
Create a culture where people want to stay and grow.
