PowerUp - Elite sports thinking, now for everyone.

Hi everyone, I’m Jess, the founder of PowerUp - and I’m really excited to share it with you! I grew up watching my brother train as an elite athlete, and I was always amazed by how much goes into sustaining high performance - not just the training, but the mindset, nutrition, sleep, recovery, and the support system wrapped around him. Everything was connected. When I entered the working world, I couldn’t shake the question: Why do we expect people to perform without giving them the right support, insight, or environment? That’s where PowerUp began. Our mission: What if organisations could support their people - and design their environments - the way elite sports teams do? We didn’t start from zero. PowerUp is built on a methodology already proven in high‑performance environments. Our goal now is to make it accessible, intelligent, and scalable. Most companies collect loads of data, but it usually only treats symptoms - productivity dips, stress, absence, turnover. Did you know that if organisations took a more holistic approach to people and performance decisions, they could unlock up to 55% of every person’s pay in lost potential each year (McKinsey)? So we're focused on solving the root cause, not the symptoms - and doing it holistically and simultaneously across the whole organisation. Here’s how PowerUp works: - 200+ personalised insights (from psychometrics and behavioural data) that create improvement plans for individuals, teams, and the organisation - 12‑week improvement cycles with personalised resources, action learning, and rewards - Root‑cause algorithms that uncover what’s really driving behaviour and performance - Agentic AI performance coaches that support people in real time (still in beta — watch this space!) In as little as 12 weeks, you’ll see measurable changes in business performance, healthier individuals, and more engaged teams. The best sports teams win because they understand how interconnected everything is. The workplace is no different. You can’t help someone perform if the team dynamic is broken; you can’t fix the team if the environment is unhealthy; and you can’t fix the environment without understanding the real causes. We’re still early in our PowerUp journey, but I’m incredibly motivated by the impact it can have. If you want to PowerUp your performance, your team, or your organisation - why not try one of our 12-week programmes? 💪
