Blog Post: Introducing K1 Performance – Progress Starts Today
When I decided to leave the corporate world, it wasn’t because I no longer found value in my work—it was because I realised that I could add value elsewhere too. After 20 years of working in structured, fast-paced environments, I noticed a recurring theme: the difference between thriving teams and struggling ones often came down to a single factor—people. Their growth, motivation, and ability to improve incrementally were key. This insight became the foundation for K1 Performance.
The Inspiration Behind K1 Performance
As a budding athlete during my triathlon and marathon days, one philosophy stuck with me: Sir Dave Brailsford’s theory of marginal gains. Brailsford famously led British Cycling to unprecedented success by focusing on improving everything by just 1%. From refining the angle of handlebars to enhancing recovery strategies, no detail was too small. This cumulative effect of tiny improvements transformed a team into a powerhouse.
For me, this philosophy extended beyond athletics into every corner of life. Whether in business, fitness, or personal growth, the power of consistent, incremental changes became my guiding principle. Small steps, when compounded over time, drive meaningful progress.
What Progress Means
Progress isn’t a one-size-fits-all concept. For some, it’s hitting a major career milestone or training for a marathon. For others, it might be as simple as carving out 30 minutes each day for themselves or building a habit of better communication with a team. The beauty of progress lies in its diversity—it’s deeply personal, evolving with individual goals and circumstances.
At K1 Performance, we focus on helping people identify their 1% improvements. We emphasise that growth doesn’t need to be overwhelming. A single small change, made consistently, can lead to transformative outcomes. Whether it’s a new approach to work, health, or relationships, the most important thing is to take that first step today.
Starting Small, Starting Now
K1 Performance is my way of combining years of corporate experience with a passion for seeing people thrive. My goal is to guide others in identifying and achieving their unique versions of progress. Remember, it’s not about chasing perfection or overhauling your life overnight. It’s about making that one small change today, building on it tomorrow, and watching where it takes you.
