Jamil Qureshi is one of today's foremost practitioners of performance-enhancing psychology and is an expert in high-performing teams. Jamil has enjoyed working with a rich diversity of the world's most talented business and sports people and teams, helping six individuals get to World Number 1.
In 2006, European Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam appointed him the first-ever official psychologist to work with the team. They made history by winning by a record-equalling margin. He has since worked with five Ryder Cup captains. Jamil has worked with 22 golfers inside the top 50 in the world, including two world number ones. Ranked among the most influential figures in British sport in 2009 by GQ Magazine, Jamil was voted in the top 100 coaches in the world by The Daily Mirror in 2023. Jamil has worked successfully with three English Premiership football clubs and currently works with several players in the Premiership from teams such as Liverpool FC, Manchester Utd and Manchester City. He has worked with two Formula 1 racing drivers and the 2009 England Ashes-winning cricketers.
In business and industry, Jamil has worked with business leaders and companies in over 24 countries, helping teams fulfil their potential by developing and delivering change and performance programmes. He has designed and delivered leadership programmes at the board level for Coca-Cola, Hewlett Packard, Emirates Airlines, Cisco, and GSK. He has worked across Lloyds Banking Group on their award-winning 'Journey to World Class' programme. During Covid, Jamil worked extensively with global leadership teams at several companies, such as SAS, Lloyds Banking Group, GSK, Janssen, NHS England, and Protiviti, to help them convert to leading remote and hybrid teams in a changing environment.
Interestingly, he is one of only a few external psychologists allowed to study astronauts in the 2008 NASA Space Programme. Jamil talked to an audience that included two former US presidents at the K Club in Ireland and was chosen as the supporting speaker to Tony Robbins at his Dublin event. Jamil's versatility is illustrated by the fact he has talked at NASDAQ in New York, where he shared a stage with General Peter Pace, Joint Chief of Staff, the highest-ranking military officer in the whole of the US armed forces, and the next day did stand up in front of a celebrity audience at the Groucho Club.
Topics, sessions and talks
Success is built on ownership, yet too many teams fall into the trap of blame. Jamil Qureshi breaks down the fundamental difference between compliance and genuine commitment, showing how responsibility is the key to unlocking high performance. Drawing from his experience with elite sports teams and global businesses, he highlights the power of mindset in fostering accountability, enabling teams to take charge of their outcomes and move forward with purpose.
Jamil Qureshi explores the mindset shifts required to bridge the gap between aspiration and success. Progress isn’t just about working harder but thinking differently. By challenging ingrained beliefs and understanding the psychology of action, individuals can transform good intentions into tangible results. With a sharp, engaging style, Jamil reveals how high performers in business and sport leverage their thinking to drive meaningful change, leaving audiences with a fresh perspective on achieving their own ambitions.
Employee engagement is often discussed but rarely understood. Jamil Qureshi challenges conventional wisdom on workplace motivation, demonstrating why traditional incentives fail and what truly drives people. With insight from top-performing organisations, he redefines what it means to be engaged, helping leaders foster environments where people thrive. Audiences will gain a new understanding of organisational culture and leave with strategies to turn engagement from a buzzword into a business advantage.
The best leaders don’t just manage - they challenge. Jamil Qureshi reveals why true leadership lies in breaking conventional thinking habits to unlock potential. In a world of rapid change, doing more of the same is no longer enough. By disrupting old ways of working and fostering innovation, leaders can create teams that are agile, motivated, and primed for success. Drawing on experience with world-class performers, he delivers powerful insights into the psychology of leading change.
Jamil Qureshi explores the idea of the rogue monkey: the instinctive, emotional reaction that surfaces before we've had a chance to think it through. Drawing on his work with elite sportspeople and business leaders, he shows how attitude shapes the way people respond to setbacks and unexpected events. Attendees will learn how to recognise their own rogue monkey in action and choose a more deliberate response under pressure, turning difficult moments into opportunities for better performance.
Jamil brings something quite rare to the table - he's worked with six World Number 1s across different fields, from Ryder Cup teams to Formula 1 drivers and Premier League clubs. His performance psychology methods translate beautifully from elite sport to business challenges. What's particularly valuable is how he makes complex psychological principles immediately actionable for teams facing pressure and uncertainty. Given his track record with Fortune 500s and world-class athletes, he's worth considering for your next leadership event.
