Joni Peddie

Joni Peddie walks into a banking leadership offsite and goes straight at the hard stuff most people tiptoe around: performance, pressure, and the human friction that quietly slows everything down. She works with executive teams that live in high‑stakes environments where missed signals and vague accountability cost real money and reputation. Through Resilient People, she has spent years inside banking teams of 12 to 30 leaders, where the pace is relentless and the tolerance for fluff is zero. While many organisations chase yet another model or framework, Joni focuses on what actually shifts behaviour in the room and keeps it durable when everyone is back in the field.

Her edge starts with how she diagnoses a team. Joni listens closely, tests assumptions, and spots patterns in how decisions, conflict, and communication really play out day to day. She blends sharp facilitation, practical tools, and targeted executive coaching so leaders move from lip service about resilience and performance to concrete, observable change. With her, teams learn how to handle pressure without fracturing, run meetings that produce decisions instead of confusion, and turn siloed operators into aligned drivers of results. The proof shows up in faster execution, fewer replays of the same argument, and leadership groups that can absorb shocks without losing direction.

In high‑pressure moments, Joni is the person in the room who keeps everyone focused, steady, and working on what actually matters. Her style is clean, no drama, and deeply practical, which gives leaders clear ground to stand on when choices are complex and time is short. Clients leave her keynotes, sessions, and coaching conversations with language they can use, habits they can apply, and a sharper sense of how to perform together when the stakes spike. When a banking leadership team is serious about being resilient, aligned, and ready for the next hit, Joni helps them get there and stay there.
