About Jess – Our Founder and Company Director

Hi, I’m Jess, the Founder and Company Director of Peak Performance HR.

 

As an only child, I had a lot of friends my own age, but spent a significant amount of time around adults, during which I perfected the art of reading people and situations. Exposure to different personalities and dynamics, coupled with an inquiring mind, sparked a life long interest, in understanding people and their environments. 

I graduated with a 2.1 BA Hons in TV, Film and Theatre Studies, and worked in Television for a while, before qualifying as a Teacher to Speakers of Other Languages and moving to Spain for a year where I ran my own English Language Teaching Business. 

Interested in education and facilitating learning in others, I enjoyed working as a teacher for many years, before exploring the world of recruitment, which, for the most part, I enjoyed. I loved the variety of clients and candidates and learnt a lot about people and business.

Over the years, I worked in different organisations and roles, and noticed many of my colleagues were unhappy, often because of poor management and/or misaligned expectations and values.

I have an idealist social style, driven by a deep belief that people should feel valued, understood, and empowered, which whet my appetite to dig deeper and work out what I could do to improve these situations at work. I believe happy employees should mean happier households.

Improving the workplace, should, in theory, create a happier, healthier society.  

I completed my CIPD accredited Level 7 (Post Graduate Degree) in Human Resource Management and started my career in HR for many of the same reasons most people work in HR. I have a passion for helping people, interest in organisational behaviour and strategy and love creating positive workplace cultures.

After working in HR across sectors and organisations, I saw first-hand how the right support and people strategies can unlock potential, not just in individuals, but in entire businesses. That realisation inspired me to launch Peak Performance HR in 2018, with a vision of making HR less about red tape and more about people and impact.

I’m passionate about leadership development, wellbeing at work and inclusive workplaces and take a hands-on, practical approach to supporting businesses. My goal is simple: help organisations get the best out of their people and help people thrive at work.
