The core message that resonated with me throughout the course was the idea that to achieve our best, we must push ourselves beyond our comfort zones and wholeheartedly commit to giving it our all, not just 99.9% but a full 100%. This simple yet profound concept has left an indelible mark on me.
Jamie’s course was instrumental in fostering self-awareness, a critical element in becoming the best version of oneself. Its remarkable how personal development can have such a significant impact on one’s well-being, and this course delivered that in spades.
I can’t thank Jamie enough for his dedication and expertise in this area. His passion for helping others reach their potential is evident in every aspect of the course. The wisdom, guidance, and practical tools he provided have already made a remarkable difference in not just my work life but also my personal life.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jamie Peacock’s Building Champions Leadership & Personal Development Course to anyone seeking to become a more consistent and effective leader. It’s a transformative experience that goes beyond the professional realm and touches the very core of who we are as individuals.
Once again, thank you, Jamie, for this invaluable journey of growth and self-discovery.

Jamie Peacock is a catalyst for personal and professional growth. Through his pragmatic approach, attentive listening, and real-world wisdom, he empowers you to become the best version of yourself. What sets Jamie apart is his fresh perspective, untethered from the industry I work in. He started with a blank slate and guided me to recognize my strengths and areas for improvement. If you are ready to embrace authenticity and take that next step, Jamie is the guide you need.

The building champions program has helped change my mindset from both a work and personal perspective. JP has helped me separate out the ‘noise’ from my day to day life and has made me realise that not everything needs a response. I am in the relatively early stages of building a team and I will always stand by the statement, ‘the standard you walk past is the standard you accept’, I have taken this with me and have already used it to have some difficult conversations that will no doubt help me in the long run. JP has allowed me to set a bigger vision of how I want my team to look, I want them to be part of ‘building the cathedral’ where they can look back on their achievements and be proud, rather than attending work because it is all that they know or for the money.
JP has also allowed me to build more structure into my life outside of work, starting with reigniting my love for exercise, I now do this daily and have recently rejoined the gym. I no doubt gave every excuse under the sun but ultimately it sat with me on making a change in my lifestyle, along with having the discipline to stick with it, JP condensed it down very clearly. I have no doubt the programme has turned me into a better leader for my team.
I feel extremely lucky to have been apart of the programme and to have had the opportunity to work alongside someone that has achieved so much in the sporting world. I would not hesitate to use JP in the future to improve both myself and the team.

We were looking for a coaching partner to come and work with the GMI Board to look at ways to improve individual effectiveness, and strategy development. Jamie was the perfect choice and instantly connected with the Board members creating a feeling of trust and commitment. His approach comes across as a friendly, yet with a challenging style of delivery, which was exactly what we needed. The programme is very thought provoking and requires a great deal of self-reflection and focus. I can’t recommend Jamie and his programme enough to others, it was a perfect fit for us.

Having previously heard good things about Jamie’s Champions Programmes and his style of delivery I was keen to get him on board to work with some of our teams. Investing in our staff is key at Byworth, but finding the right courses isn’t always easy. We went into the programme with an open mind, hungry to learn and eager to get better. There’s no doubt now, thanks to Jamie that we’ve set ourselves up to build on the content and grow as a team.
I’d genuinely recommend JP’s programmes to any company looking to invest in staff and build strong teams – it was a perfect fit for us at Byworth.

Really relatable, there was so much we can take away from it and adapt to our own lives. I wish I could take all my tutor groups to it.
Jennie Thorpe | Progress Tutor
Very inspiring and motivating. I thought he was very humble and down to earth. Working harder than others is the main message I will remember.
Jimmy McHale | Year 13 Student
At first I wasn’t interested in going but glad I did. It was very motivating and has changed my mind/shown me that I should strive to achieve the thing I want to do.
Emma Hutchison | Year 13 student
Commitment is an act not a word. This made me realise that my hard work will be rewarded
Jay Swain | Year 13 student
You have to get off the bus. This taught me that no matter how anxious or doubtful you are, stick with it because it can take you anywhere.
Ben Roberts | Year 13 student
Inspiring and motivational. All students and staff were highly engaged. I would strongly recommend Jamie Peacock as a guest speaker, the messages are clear and really positive.

Jamies well-being session was arguably one the best I have been to. The students where fully engaged and all talking about how they can use his 30-day challenge to better themselves. The students felt very empowered by Jamies life experiences and particularly liked his real-life examples he used from his fantastic career. This has definitely had a positive effect upon the students who attended the session already.

Jamie has been delivering motivational leadership training to our Front-Line Leaders for over a year. His ability to discuss, engage and motivate our staff has been fantastic to see. Jamie is able to translate small subtle changes to participants which enables them to perform to a higher level at work but more importantly to their everyday life as well. Jamie is extremely approachable and always makes time for staff who attend and often takes time during breaks to chat with participants. Our Front-Line Leaders have vastly improved since engaging with Jamie and his leadership discussions. A number of staff have also taken up his 30 day challenge with long lasting positive effects, which carried on past the initial 30 days outlined within the programme.

Jamie came to Askham Bryan College for our Mental Health Week to give his ‘Be a Champion’ talk to our students. Before the talks, we had great communication via email. Jamie sent over what he planned to talk about and it sounded ideal for our students. He was so friendly and amenable any time I emailed!
The speech itself was incredible, it was so relatable but also very accessible for the diverse set of students that we have here. Whilst here, Jamie was so kind to everyone, answering any little question they had. The things he talks about in the speech, the plans to put into practice, have had all the students and even staff looking at what they can do within their lives to make a positive difference. We wanted this Mental Health Week to have a positive note and Jamie certainly delivered that for us.
We would highly recommend Jamie and look forward to booking him in again next year.”

Our senior leadership team of 10 recently had the pleasure of undertaking Jamie’s Building Champions leadership development programme. The programme was excellent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to develop their leadership group. The straightforward, practical approach was enjoyable, well scheduled to fit in with our busy work schedules and was refreshing compared with various other leadership programmes taken across the group. This ensured that our team were all highly engaged and motivated throughout. Jamie’s supportive and pragmatic style alongside the daily journalling and clear targets and actions leads to quick practical changes in positive leadership behaviours that have now enabled us to have a common language for better communication, individual confidence, and an invigorated and empowered leadership team.
