Transform Leadership, Elevate Culture, Retain Talent
Organisations are struggling to keep good people who stay positive and productive when times are tough.
PB Performance and Development helps you build leadership capability, improve team effectiveness, and create positive workplace cultures so you can retain engaged high performers and thrive even in challenging times.
I’m Jo Saies, founder and Principal of PB Performance and Development.
We focus on helping organisations to keep high performing, engaged people by building:
- capable leaders
- effective teams
- cultures where people want to stay.
We typically work with:
- Purpose driven organisations – State and Federal Government, aged care, disability and community services sectors
- Professional services – Law, Accounting, Engineering, Health and Allied Health
With deep personal and professional experience of disability, Jo brings specialist expertise and a driving passion for maximising potential of leaders and emerging leaders with disability across all sectors.

What drives our work
We know organisations today are expected to deliver more than ever before, often with fewer people, tighter budgets, increased regulation and greater scrutiny.
This pressure shows up across the organisation as:
- High turnover and workforce shortages draining your resources
- Challenging workplace dynamics
- Overwhelm and burnout affecting morale and productivity
- Brand reputation or market value taking a hit
Within this context we see leaders stepping into roles they’re not yet equipped for, often with limited support and no structured development plan. As a result we see:
- Feedback and accountability conversations avoided
- Teams lacking direction or clear priorities
- An overemphasis on driving results at the cost of health and well-being
- Erosion of trust and confidence in leadership.
The cost of inaction can be high.
To help organisations address these challenges, our work is focused on:
Engaged people bring more energy and discretionary effort to their work. By creating the conditions where people feel valued, connected and motivated, you build stronger cultures and more sustainable results.
Sustainable high performance is about creating the conditions and building the capabilities that enable people to perform at their best. Through targeted individual, team and culture development, you can achieve results without compromising health and wellbeing.
Keeping good people has never been more important. Investing in building capability and culture helps you retain valuable talent, reduce turnover costs and preserve the knowledge and relationships that drive long-term success.

Testimonials
Jo worked with me as an Executive Coach for 18 months. Her coaching style was perfect for my kind of interaction and learning. She always found ways to steer our conversation towards valuable self-reflection, and catalysed lasting change in the way that I work.
The feedback from the Coaching Conversations for Leaders program is absolutely fantastic, it exceeded all expectations, thank you so much
