Meet Jimmy Burroughes

Hi, I’m Jimmy Burroughes, transforming how leaders and teams operate in high-pressure environments. My journey from British Military Officer to global leadership expert revealed a critical insight: traditional leadership approaches often create burnout while failing to deliver sustainable results. That’s why I founded JBL High Performance—to help leaders break free from endless firefighting and achieve what truly matters: exceptional results without burnout.

I’m not here to teach you fluffy leadership theories or overwhelm you with generic advice. I’ve been where you are—leading teams under pressure, managing millions in business, and figuring out how to make it all work without burning out.

What makes me different?

I believe leadership should be about freedom, not frustration. Let’s work together to make that your reality.

What’s the Real Cost of you staying stuck?

When your leadership feels chaotic, it’s not just frustrating—it’s costly. Here’s what you’re losing:

Time

The hours you could spend focusing on strategy or even your personal life are swallowed up by things that shouldn’t be on your plate.

Energy

Progress

Trusted by Leaders Worldwide

Leaders from around the world have trusted me to help them transform their leadership—and their lives. Here’s what they’ve achieved:

Jimmy has a fantastic ability to understand his client's requirements and translate them into a practical action plan. He works along with his clients which makes his sessions more of a conversation than just a download. At the same time he always ensures that they are simple and not theory rich. Highly recommend his work and would definitely use his firm's services in the future.

Debashish Biswas

I wanted to pass on a special thanks to the master facilitator, Jimmy B. for making our experience that bit more special. We really nailed our objectives in these sessions and he brought energy and life to the session which really helped us connect. Considering he was online and we were all in the room, I had my initial reservations but Jimmy's style were such that he felt like he was there with us.

Andy S

I have worked with Jimmy on a few occasions with regards to both my development and the development of my direct reports. On all occasions, I have found him to have a very strong action orientated, solution focussed approach to the way he works. This approach achieves results which makes him a good operator. I look forward to working with Jimmy more in the future on my development

Samantha Mackay

I have been working with Jimmy on making overall improvements through his programme. I have found increased awareness as an individual over a short period of time and have improved my effectiveness in my career. Jimmy is very knowledgeable and his ideas/concepts help frame what is often a blind spot in your personal progress, Jimmy is always open and honest and is able to give great advice no matter the subject matter. I highly recommend his services.

Craig McLenaghan

Jimmy is an outstanding facilitator and trainer. I have attended a number of his events - most recently a 2 day engagement coaching course. He is well prepared, engaging and attentive which allowed attendants to relax, connect and learn. He is a master of demonstrating the practical application of theory and his ability to frame and advance conversations is amazing. I have no hesitation in endorsing Jimmy and would welcome any queries in this regard.

Kirsten Binge

This is a practical, easy to action and powerful way of energising individuals, teams and whole organisations. I am going to implement the Purpose exercises with my new team as soon as they are all on board!

Gil Sewell

A deep dive into how to create a high performance team that is filled with trust as well as how to convey to your team that you really care for them as a leader and give them the space to communicate what makes them feel cared for and seen.

Anna Cruise

"The program challenges you to think of these differently. It encourages awareness of the impact (positive and negative) that small actions or changes could have on how you function/ feel at work, in your ERG and just in life in general. It sparked a personal journey for me, to figure out my personal purpose and to learn how to be comfortable with discomfort."

Malinda Moolman

A very supportive and collaborative leadership development program delivered extremely professionally. Jimmy has a knack for creating a vibe in the room that allows us to make huge progress at a rapid pace without it feeling rushed.

Rhianon Berry

Jimmy’s experience and thoughtful dialogue provide a phenomenal canvas of learning opportunities from thought leaders in the industry. It was a pleasure both listening and participating. What a great resource to learn valuable tips and tricks to navigating impactful leadership capabilities!

Kelly J322

Hi Jimmy I just wanted to pass on a massive THANK YOU for supporting our meeting yesterday. Apologies I didn’t get a chance to send something last night. The meeting was a great success and I am feeling very comfortable with the program you have put together for us and our GM is certainly behind this 100%.

Cheryl Reid

I connected with Jimmy at a time I was searching for inspiration to re-ignite my team. Jimmy and the Mastermind sessions were just what I needed: insightful, practical and energizing. My leadership is more consistent and intentional as a result.

Colin McClean

I would recommend Jimmy for his professionalism, easy to work with and leadership skills. His knowledge of business/market coupled with his dedication makes him more than excellent. He is also on the cutting edge of what’s new in the world of commerce, which makes him valuable to any organization. I would recommend him to anyone.

Ankita K.

Thanks to Jimmy, my business has tripled revenue and more than doubled in size in the last few years. His toolkit is never ending and I have no hesitation in recommending him - in fact I have - several times. Even during the pandemic when we looked closely at our expenses, Jimmy was left in the asset not the liability column.

Euan Pringle

Jimmy was truly my coach. He has passion, a strategic mindset and most of all, excellent communication skills. When I had a tough time making critical career decisions, he helped me by using various type of case studies and strategic thinking. I strongly recommend Jimmy as a coach if you want to grow. Two thumbs up!

Terry(손병욱) Son

I recently engaged Jimmy for some coaching and support. Jimmy provided valuable insights, pragmatic advice, along with fantastic suite of actionable tools. I would happily recommend Jimmy for anyone professional who is looking for pragmatic and supportive coaching, from someone who talks straight and offers actionable recommendations and advice. Thanks Jimmy

Rob Lyver

I hadn't realised how much of the validation I required was external. I also was surprised to hear myself say that I already felt successful career wise. Illuminating. Very interesting how sometimes the way you frame the questions speaks to mindset more than the answers.

Stacey Dutton

Jimmy kindly offered his time to me to talk through an idea that I wanted to develop further (offering pro bono coaching during the C-19 pandemic). He helped me to clarify my thinking, asking thought-provoking questions. His style is warm, inclusive and he's very practical. Thank you again for your support in helping me get clarity for a way to progress this idea Jimmy!

Melanie Jones

Jimmy has all of what you look for in a coach! I came to him with a very clear intention to which he efficiently and effectively communicated to me all the right steps to take in achieving my goal. Furthermore, his manner was very easy going yet professional which facilitated the discussion from me as well. I am delighted to say that after following his guidance my goal was in fact achieved which is why I now highly recommend him!

Joshua Best

I truly enjoyed talking with James for the past few months while I took business english coaching classes. He not only helped me to improve my English communication skills, but also provided extremely helpful advice on diverse topics such as leadership, business strategy, mindfulness, mental health and so on. He is absolutely one of the best coaches that I have ever met!

Spring Lee

Just spent two days with this bunch of awesome and talented people, being able led through the Amplify Leadership Live programme by Jimmy Burroughes It’s not often you take time out of the office to reflect and work on your leadership – we spend so much time in the drivers seat, it feels strange to get out of it! Unlike many other leadership courses, this one starts with a 2-day catalyst to kick off a 3-months program – I’m looking forward to Jimmy and the team holding ourselves and each other to account
