Capt. Phillemon Kisamo,

Q: What is Peak Performance? 

This involves  developing people for them to perform better in their personal lives as well as at their places of work. It is proven that SUCCESS is 80% Psychology (attitudes, beliefs, culture etc) and 20% Skills (education and work experience). We train people to look and address their attitudes, beliefs, and culture which pays major role in SUCCESS. We use modern training technology of change developed to bring life long transformation in the individuals’ internal programming. Methods used include Neuro Associative Conditioning, Neuro Linguistic Programming, and Experiential Learning,   

We have:

Q: Where did  PPI start? 

A: The company is a brainchild of Mr. James Gitau who gave deep thought to causes of people and organization sub-optimal performance. In 2001 he established Peak Performance International - Kenya Ltd.  

Peak Performance International Tanzania Ltd was established in 2006 and only shares brand name with the other sister companies also in Uganda and soon Rwanda. Each company is autonomous in its area of function. We are East African by outlook but have local focus. Collectively we have trained over 50,000 people in the East Africa region.

Q: Who is your Target Market?
 

A: Given that the environment around people and organizations is constantly changing, methods employed to achieve goals must also change. Our target market is people as drivers of most of the systems. These need to be developed to properly fit organizational goals.  

Q:  What drives you as a company? 

A: Our Vision is “To empower the people of Africa and beyond with skills that will stir in them the desire to unleash their full potential”. We aim to bring about meaningful change in people that will make them realize in them there is so much potential that unleashed, they can achieve their dreams and live much more fulfilling lives.


Q:  Account for your successful moments. 

A: Every successful transformational training is a victory to us. Precision Air, TAHA, Stanbic Bank, Mwananchi Communications, East African Court of Appeal, BOA Bank, Zain and KADCO are but just a few of the organizations we have trained. Much as the list of clients is important, our success is more in terms of the accrued change in people.


Q:  What is the difference with others? Why Peak Performance? 

A: Our vision, programs, methods of delivery and the people behind the company evidences significant difference with others. Knowing that behavior and habits are difficult to change and employing technologically proven ways to tackle these is an attribute that makes us stand out. Necessarily our trainings are Empowering, Educating, Experiential, Entertaining and  Exciting.  

Q: Where do you see yourself in five years time? 

A: Better performance of people and organizations will move people and the country to the right direction socially and economically. This will be an on going challenge and our part in it is a sure way of “our purpose of being”. Delivering value and Continuous and Never Ending Improvement (CANI) is our beyond five years vision. The sky is the limit.

Q:  What is your parting shot 

Change is inevitable because everything around us is changing. To manage this, people and/or organizations have to change by developing their potential which in many of us has hardly been tapped.  Once realized and unleashed we can achieve many of our dreams and ambitions. Negative attitude, beliefs, bad and poor culture all inhibit our ability to realize our inner potential and live satisfying lives.
