Who We Are
EVOLVE Performance Group is a boutique leadership development and advisory practice founded by Sue Thompson in 2009.
Sue brings more than two decades of experience as a corporate communication specialist, executive coach, facilitator and business advisor. She works in partnership with senior leaders and organisations to strengthen leadership capability, enhance team performance and navigate complex organisational challenges.
EVOLVE is known for its long-standing client relationships, agility and depth of expertise. Many clients have evolved alongside us as their careers have progressed across multiple organisations.
Sue has led transformative leadership initiatives across diverse industries throughout Australia, Asia and New Zealand. Her work spans executive coaching, leadership development, team performance and strategic facilitation — helping organisations cultivate high-performing teams and create sustainable change.
While Sue leads most engagements, EVOLVE also collaborates with a trusted network of highly skilled consultants with specialist expertise. This flexible model allows us to tailor each engagement based on scale, location and capability, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our clients.
At EVOLVE, we believe leadership begins with awareness. When leaders deepen their understanding of themselves, their teams and their organisations, they unlock the capacity to create meaningful and sustainable impact.

Client Experiences
-
"An important part of leading a business or team is to build the right support network around yourself to bounce ideas and issues off, ensuring your ideas are not in isolation. Sue has been part of my support network for many years and I have found her ability to listen, diagnose the topic and provide feedback bound by strong business acumen refreshing, enlightening and always right to the point."

"Sue's authentic and caring communication style allows clients to be open to her various innovative coaching methodologies and ultimately achieve results which they wouldn’t under traditional coaching interventions. I have found Sue’s executive coaching and facilitation to be of the highest standard."

"Our experience of business coaching had been rocky so it was a joy to welcome Sue into our business in 2010 with her ever-cheerful demeanour and incisive mind. Sue's invaluable skill is to see the similarities and differences in all situations and assemble the crucial essence of what you need to progress. Sue supported the growth of our business right through to the extremely successful sale in 2023."
