Jamil Qureshi – Three Top Tips for Dealing with Change

Change is one of the few certainties in life – yet many of us struggle when faced with it. Whether it’s a reorganisation at work, a shift in strategy, or changes in our personal lives, knowing how to adapt can make all the difference.

That’s where Jamil Qureshi comes in.

Jamil Qureshi is recognised as one of the world’s leading performance psychologists and keynote speakers. He has coached six sports stars to become number one in the world, worked with the European Ryder Cup team, and advised Premier League footballers and Formula 1 drivers.

But Jamil’s influence extends far beyond sport. He has partnered with global brands including Coca-Cola, Unilever, Emirates, and GSK, helping business leaders manage change, embed culture, and improve performance.

Jamil Qureshi is one of the most-booked keynote speakers in the business. At The Speakers Agency, we know how in-demand Jamil is and will always urge our clients to check his availability as soon as they can, as we know his calendar is quick to fill.

Known for his high-energy, humorous, and practical talks, Jamil doesn’t just inspire audiences – he equips them with actionable tools they can use immediately.

Jamil is best known for helping people embrace change, unlock potential, and build winning mindsets. He explores:

• High performance under pressure – lessons from elite athletes and leaders
• Leadership and culture – how to create environments where people thrive
• Mindset and motivation – shifting focus from fear of failure to pursuit of success
• Resilience and adaptability – turning change into opportunity

In his talks, Jamil often shares simple but powerful strategies to help people adapt and grow. Here are his three top tips:

1. Be motivated by what you want to achieve

Too often, we define change in terms of what we want to avoid. Jamil encourages us to focus instead on what we want to achieve. By keeping your energy directed at positive outcomes, you build motivation and momentum.

2. Understand your strengths

High performers share one key trait: self-awareness. They know their strengths and how they’re applying them. Jamil highlights that this awareness is the foundation of consistent success – whether you’re on the pitch or in the boardroom.

3. Caricature the change you want

Trying to be “a little more confident” or “slightly more innovative” rarely sticks. Jamil suggests exaggerating the behaviours you want to adopt. Dial them up, repeat them often, and let them become habits – because success is built on behaviours you practise until they feel natural.

Jamil’s track record is unique: few speakers can combine stories from Ryder Cup golf, Formula 1 racing, and global boardrooms with equal authority. His style is entertaining yet practical, blending psychology, performance science, and humour.

Audiences leave his sessions not only inspired, but armed with tools they can use right away. That’s why he’s trusted by some of the biggest brands and teams in the world.

Key takeaway

Change isn’t easy. But as Jamil Qureshi shows, by focusing on outcomes, building self-awareness, and creating new habits, we can turn uncertainty into opportunity.
