Jamil Qureshi, as a sports and business coach, possesses an unrivalled ability to maximise success. From golf and football to Formula 1, he holds the key to ranking on top of the world; not just beating the competition but setting world records. But how does Jamil do it? Performance psychology. One of the most internationally celebrated practitioners of peak performance, he has also co-founded several change consultancies, a testament to his diverse range of speaking topics. The ideal addition to your event, he can instil in his audience the skills needed to lead their market or their sport.
In 2014, Jamil co-founded We Do Things Differently. As part of a dedicated team, he inspired "meaningful cultural changes in forward-thinking organisations". On the international stage, he developed unique programmes designed to explore the differences between activity and productivity, then propose strategies to achieve high profits and lower levels of procrastination. Prior to creating the course, Jamil started his speaking career in 2008, a role that has taken him all over the world. As a corporate coach, he can reignite a workplace's culture by working with all employees, from apprentices to the CEO.
Prior to his speaking career, Jamil created JQES Ltd, a "boutique performance coaching business" for sports teams, individuals and blue-chip companies. Through communications and strategic engagements techniques, he inspired autonomy in his clients. In 2016, Jamil accepted two roles; Director of Consulting Services at Shirley Parsons and an Advisory Board Member of Kwikpay Limited. From health and wellbeing to technology and finance, Jamil's diverse career allows him to resonate with high-profile companies from a wealth of industries. As a consultant, his knowledge of leadership and change culture helps corporate clients to create a positive working environment for their employees to thrive.
In 2006, Jamil first started to work with sporting professionals. His initial role was as the first-ever official psychologist with the European Ryder Cup team. Jamil helped the team to win by a record-equalling margin, making history. Firmly established as an essential expert on performance psychology, he went on to help six sporting professionals fill the number one top spot in the world, a credit to his incomparable influence. From David Coulthard to Manchester Football Club, his speaking topics are influenced by some of sports greatest achievements. Most recently, in 2020, Jamil co-founded thegrowingcoaches.com, dedicated to matching award-winning and high-quality coaches with organisations. Jamil was also sought after by Steven Bartlett to appear on his The Diary Of A CEO podcast, with Jamil's video focussing on How To Succeed in Life and Work and achieving over 86k views. Most recently, Champions Speakers helped Jamil to secure his first official speaking engagement in 2023 with the London Stock Exchange!
