Leadership That Grows as Fast as Your Business
Scaling a business is about more than just growth - it’s about building the leadership, culture and execution habits that sustain momentum and performance at every stage. At Mindshift Performance, we use neuroscience, behavioural psychology and high-performance coaching to equip leaders with the resilience, decision-making power and strategic execution skills needed to scale successfully - without the chaos, burnout, or leadership bottlenecks.
About Mindshift Performance
At Mindshift Performance, we transform leadership and culture in fast-growing organisations.
Our founder, Karen Stone, brings over 35 years of global leadership experience in tech, alongside the strategic precision, mental resilience and adaptability honed as a 5th Dan Black Belt in martial arts.
This unique background informs our approach - balancing the science of high-performance leadership with the practical execution strategies that fuel sustainable success.
We don’t just coach leaders - we embed the systems, habits and behaviours needed to drive real change and long-term business impact.
Strengthen Leadership at Every Level
Equip leaders with the clarity, decision-making skills and resilience to lead effectively through complexity.
Example: A global tech CEO struggling with executive presence saw a 22% improvement in team engagement scores after working with us.
Align Culture to Accelerate Growth
Remove the friction that slows teams down by embedding leadership behaviours that drive performance, collaboration and accountability.
Example: A high-growth SaaS company reduced attrition by 25% in six months after implementing our leadership and culture programme.
Develop Sustainable High-Performance Habits
Implement neuroscience-backed leadership strategies that ensure long-term impact, not just short-term wins.
Example: A sales VP saw their leadership team boost productivity by 20% after embedding new decision-making and communication habits.
Common Growth Challenges We Solve
Leadership Overwhelm & Decision-Making Bottlenecks
As organisations grow, leaders face increasing pressure to make the right decisions, fast. Without the right habits, bottlenecks form, agility slows, and burnout rises. We help leaders build the clarity, focus and delegation skills to stay ahead of growth, not behind it.
Erosion of Company Culture
What made your company successful at an early stage can get lost as you scale. Without intentional leadership, culture becomes fragmented, leading to disengagement and misalignment. We help leaders embed culture into everyday actions and decision-making, ensuring it scales with the business.
Resistance to Change
Fast-moving businesses need teams that embrace change, not fight it. But when leaders lack the skills to guide change effectively, execution slows, and teams push back. We help leaders develop the mindset, tools and conversations that drive adoption and alignment at every level.
Leadership Conversations That Fail to Drive Change
Growth demands influence - both formal and informal. Leaders who can’t effectively rally teams, influence cross-functional stakeholders, or navigate tough conversations will struggle to execute at scale. We equip leaders with high-impact communication and influencing skills that drive results, not just dialogue.
Skill Gaps in Management
The skills that got leaders here won’t get them there. Many managers struggle to adapt to leading larger, more complex teams - resulting in misalignment, underperformance, or burnout. We develop strategic, resilient leaders who can scale their teams effectively and keep execution strong as the company grows.
"Karen’s facilitation and coaching didn’t just improve our leadership - it transformed how we work. The results were immediate, with stronger decision-making, clearer communication and a team that executes at a higher level."
