Josh Hugo

In every organization Josh Hugo works with, he aims straight at the leadership bottlenecks that slow everything down. Through PIQ Strategies, he partners with small and mid sized companies in education, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, banking, and hospitality where growth has outpaced the development of leaders and teams. He comes in when senior and mid level leaders are overloaded, communication is strained, and execution keeps slipping between the cracks. Most organizations treat leader development as an event. Josh treats it as a core operating system that either drives performance or quietly drags it down.

What makes Josh effective is his ability to translate powerful frameworks into moves leaders can use in real time. Using the GiANT Worldwide tools as a backbone, he delivers focused leader and team development that gives C suite and senior leaders a clear view of how they show up, how their teams function, and where friction is costing them. He is skilled at spotting patterns in behavior, surfacing hard truths without theatrics, and equipping teams with simple, repeatable practices. The result is not just better meetings. It is cleaner alignment, stronger trust, and leaders at every level who know how to lead people, not just manage tasks.

When the stakes are high and patience is thin, Josh brings a direct, grounded style that keeps the room honest and productive. He avoids theory for theory’s sake and focuses conversations on decisions, behavior, and impact. Leaders who work with him experience sharper self awareness, more cohesive teams, and a culture where expectations are clear and followed through. If you want your leadership bench to be a competitive advantage instead of a risk, Josh is the partner you bring into the room.
