Who is P.A.C.E?
Jon Turnbull
MBA, MExSci, BPhEd, BSc
I love helping people perform at their best—just like in sport, success comes from strategy, structure, and teamwork.
My approach is research-backed, co-creative, and built on four professional pillars:
- The Organisational Cascade
- Enabling High Performance
- Sustainable Business Practices
- Values Driven Leadership

P.A.C.E. reflects the key drivers of individual and collective success
P.A.C.E. is more than an acronym; it’s a philosophy that I believe underscores the foundation of success for any organisation, whether small or large: its people.
Performance
Measurable, sustainable impact.
Aspiration
A clear vision and mission to keep looking forward.
Capability
Building, identifying, and leveraging the knowledge and skills needed for success, now and in the future
Engagement
Loving what you do and finding fulfilment in the people and places you work with
Testimonials
Clients Say

Jon is an exceptional person and it was a pleasure to learn alongside him. His ability to quickly grasp a sector in which he had no prior experience and contribute significant value was truly impressive. Jon’s insights and support were instrumental in navigating and shaping the development of a global information security strategy for a large multinational. His contributions greatly enhanced our team’s learning and the overall success of the project.

Global Head of Cyber Security

Every business team needs occasional coaching and an injection of energy, capability and clarity. This year our wee team at Grounded Governance Ltd has had all of this and more from Jon Turnbull at Pace Performance Ltd. Jon’s helped us all to work on the business, rather than in it. Just like with some of our own services, we had to embrace the chaos and debate the change along the way. But we’re better off, and more aligned. Thanks Jon! and everyone on the team
