HIGH PERFORMING LEADERS
FRIDAY 30 JANUARY 2026
MELBOURNE, VICTORIA
High performance isn't about doing more..
It’s about becoming the kind of leader who can hold more - without constantly being at capacity.
We’ve been taught that if we want to grow, we need to grind.
More offers. More clients. More hours.
But if you’re building a business (or leading within one) that demands more than you can sustainably give - something’s off.
High performance isn’t just about scale or financial success.
> It’s about leadership.
> It’s about mental and operational capacity.
> It’s about the way you think - and the way you move.
We’re over
surface-level
workshops.
You know the ones - full of hype and inspiration, or run by facilitators who spend half the day selling you into their next thing.
And we’re sure you are too.
This is NOT that.
This is a strategic, science and data backed day of optimisation - for both your mind and your business.
If you’re feeling mentally gridlocked, caught in micro-decisions, task switching, or unclear priorities - this is the upgrade your leadership brain has been craving.
And even if you're not drowning, chances are you're leaking energy in ways you can’t quite see.
The kind of quiet inefficiencies, stress loops, or internal misalignment that silently drag performance down over time.
You don’t need more input.
You need tools you’ll actually use.
WHO THIS WORKSHOP
IS FOR?
For the founders, business owners, and leaders who know their next level isn’t just about growth - it’s about how they show up for it.
With clarity. With intention. With a nervous system that can hold it, and a business that can carry it.
Business owners - we also invite you to bring your managers or leadership team.
This isn’t just about you. It’s about how your whole team holds performance, stress, and sustainable growth together.
MEET YOUR FACILITATORS
Together, Jess and Nadia will guide you through what it really looks like to optimise your internal state and operational systems - so your business (and your team) grows with you, not at your expense.
Business Consultant and Advisor
Jess is a strategic advisor and business architect with 16+ years of experience working alongside start ups through to 7 and 8-figure businesses and leaders. Her session will guide you through the structural and operational side of high performance: auditing your internal systems, embedding rhythm into your week, and optimising your operations to support clearer leadership, sharper decisions, and increased team capacity.
JESS CARTER
Mental Fitness and Performance Coach
Nadia has a background and qualifications in psychology, performance neuroscience, breathwork, functional health and nervous system optimisation. She brings a science-backed lens to stress, decision fatigue and personal performance. Her work helps founders and leaders shift out of survival mode and into clear, grounded, high-functioning leadership - with more mental space, presence, and resilience.
NADIA SOPHIA
WHAT TO EXPECT
→ A reframe around what it really means to perform at a high level
→ Insights and teachings on stress response, nervous system regulation, sleep, recovery and science-backed high performance practices
→ Practical tools and strategies you can apply immediately for better clarity, focus, time management, improved output and more efficient execution of tasks and goals
→ A live hot seat + Q&A panel session with both Jess and Nadia for tailored support and problem-solving
→ A thoughtfully catered lunch and the chance to connect with other high-performing founders and leaders
This is for you (and your team) if:
→ You’ve felt pulled in ten directions (mentally and physically) and want to regain control
→ You’re managing stress, expectations, and complexity with no real space to rework how you feel and lead
→ You’re mentally stretched and operationally at capacity
→ You’re growing, but it’s taking more from you than it gives back
→ You want stronger structure and smarter systems across your team
→ You’re constantly making decisions but rarely moving forward with clarity
→ You want your management team thinking, leading and performing with intention - not just effort
→ You’re not in crisis, but you know there are leaks, blocks or habits slowing you down
→ You want real tools, real conversations and real support - without the sales pitch or fluffy motivational BS*
For business owners and leaders who want their business (and life) to thrive because of how they lead - not what they sacrifice.
