Meet the Founder

Drawing on over two decades of hands-on experience at the intersection of people, strategy, and organisational effectiveness, Sally Dwyer established The Performance Practice (TPP) in 2012. Her vision was to create a different kind of HR partnership—one designed to help organisations of all sizes unlock the full potential of their people, even when facing the most complex challenges.

Sally’s extensive career spans executive HR leadership roles within some of the world’s most innovative and respected organisations, including Barclays, Commonwealth Bank, Macquarie Group and Accenture. This deep, diverse background has provided her with a unique perspective, allowing her to understand firsthand what truly drives success—and what hinders it—across industries ranging from FMCG’s, Financial Services, Education and Media.

At The Performance Practice, our approach is distinct. We don’t just consult; we act as a true partner, working collaboratively with clients to diagnose the root causes that may be holding their people and organisations back. Whether clients are navigating organisational friction, challenges identifying high potential talent, facilitating programs to global audiences or proactively building the workforce for the future, we consistently deliver measurable results. Our core expertise lies in crafting tailored strategies that not only elevate performance and empower leaders, but also drive sustainable growth, all while respecting and honouring each client's unique culture and operational pace.
