Our Expertise:
Forging the heart of your business, people.
At Talisman, we harbour a burning desire to positively impact and shape the culture of teams. It’s ceaseless, boundless – it’s competitive hunger, care for industry, and drive to deliver value for our partners where others simply cannot.
Talisman People want to assist team members in experiencing the absolute highlight of their careers. Talisman People use winning strategies from high-performance sport and apply this to leadership, and team membership, within organisations.
We believe people are the heart of winning performance.
Your Journey:
High Reliability Organisations
Industry proponents are on an endless journey to becoming a High Reliability Organisation (HRO) – to relentlessly seek out blind-spots and guard against drift to failure, be predictable, to become learning and re-learning organisations and destroy any blockage that inhibits the flow of information up and down, side to side in the business. The Talisman People system of work underpins and supports this journey beyond the curriculum by helping create a culture with strengthened relationships, open and transparent communication and reporting, understanding of the plan, resilience and symbolic cultural resonance.

Our Coach Facilitators and Profile Athletes
Not trainers or facilitators. You are welcome to refer to them as such but there is a big difference. Our unique approach is business wide. Building relationships and trust, developing understanding of what you consider a win, “working around the edges” to influence and improve and when necessary, being immediate and direct. All this is what an elite sports coach does daily.
Talisman People’s Coach Facilitators are specialist content experts in addition to being former elite athletes and coaches. Our Profile Athletes bring the programs to life with their unique experiences, perspectives, and skills, built over the years dedicated to being the best in their sport. These unique people bring mental toughness and presence to their roles. They understand the unique and true essence of what a coach does and take enormous pride in developing winning outcomes for the pure benefit of our clients. Our wins are measured by your wins, and we never take credit for the work you and your people have done. Our coaches think about your performance even when they are not with you. It is what all the best coaches in sport do and we bring this philosophy to our work with you.
