The Inner Game of Performance by Tim Carlisle PERFORM Leadership by Tim Carlisle
Coming Q3 2026 Tim's third book On upselling & cross-selling — in editing now.
Books

Three books anchor the methodology.

The Inner Game of Performance opens with a deceptively simple idea: your mindset is the foundation of how you lead, perform, and grow. The book maps out how identity, language and belief govern execution — and how to deliberately rewire them.

PERFORM Leadership is the operating system the leadership programs are built on: a six-element framework that turns internal mastery into external impact. A third title — focused on upselling and cross-selling — is in editing now, targeting a Q3 2026 launch.

Approach

Why Tim's workshops compound.

Engaging by design

Powerful workshops that equip individuals with the skills and tools necessary to thrive in competitive markets — never a lecture series.

Results-oriented mindset

Tim combines practical techniques with motivational coaching — participants embrace new strategies and inspire their teams and clients.

Sector-tailored

Programs tailored to the unique needs of each industry — oil & gas (our primary sector, roughly 60% of clients), tech, financial, healthcare, professional services and more.
