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.
As author of Beat Burnout – Ignite Performance and Escape the Multitasking Trap, I’ve developed methodologies that transform leadership effectiveness across Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups alike by combining military precision with innovative corporate strategies that leaders can implement immediately.
What sets my programs apart is their practicality—I don’t just teach concepts; I integrate learning directly into your team’s daily operations. My no-nonsense facilitation style blends compelling storytelling with battle-tested techniques that help teams build trust, strengthen alignment, and create clarity.
Whether delivering my flagship Ways of Working program for teams in transition or Amplify Leadership Live for ambitious leaders, participants leave my sessions not just informed but transformed, with clear pathways to implement real shifts in how they think, lead, and inspire.
Let’s work together to eliminate burnout and disengagement while achieving the exceptional performance you know is possible.
