Unlock sustainable performance by changing what’s getting in your way

the gap between
knowing
and doing

Many people already know what they need to do.

 

The challenge is understanding why they don’t consistently do it.

 

I work with people who know they are capable of more but find themselves getting in their own way.

 

Effective Challenge provides the support, challenge and objectivity needed to identify what’s getting in your way and develop a sustainable approach to performing at your best.

about me

Damian Piper CBE

I have a strong desire to help people develop and change their current reality for the future they want.  My journey led me from modest beginnings, leaving school in the eighties with minimal qualifications, to becoming a senior leader with a role in the safety and security of the 2012 London Olympic Games. Over the years, I've honed a practical approach that leads to sustainably achieving results; blending academic studies, working with people in high-performance environments and my experiments.

EFFECTIVE CHALLENGE
Podcast

The Effective Challenge podcast covers topics to improve our effectiveness, including resilience, productivity, well-being, emotional intelligence and much more.
 
I am the host and draw from my practical delivery experience, academic study, and coaching people from various settings.
 
Each episode gets to the heart of a particular topic, providing real-world tools and giving ideas to put into practice.

kind words

Damian really helped me develop my thinking to set clear goals and a plan that took my karate to a new level achieving 3rd Dan. His knowledge and experience really helped me to develop techniques that improved my ability to operate at my best in pressure situations.   The added bonus is I can apply what I’ve learned in sport to other areas of my life. I’d recommend Damian to anyone wanting to step up and take his or her performance to the next level.
