PIQ Strategies
People IQ that transforms teams and unlocks performance
We empower leaders to grow from the inside out, building healthy, connected and high performing teams
21%. That is the average percentage of engaged employees globally.
And it's a 438 Billion Dollar Problem.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
The highest-performing teams in best-practice organizations see engagement levels over 70%—not just because of better tools or smarter systems, but because of intentional people strategies that unlock a high-performing culture.
Even in a world where AI is everywhere, it is People IQ that has and will continue to set great teams apart.
Team Culture That is An Asset...Not a Liability
Your team culture should not be considered a risk to your business. Yet, so often it is. Frustrating communication, confusion, under-performing managers, drama, poor decision making, lack of purpose, toxicity.
It does not have to be this way: there are solutions. PIQ Strategies seeks to be that solution for your business.
Establishing a connected team culture creates the roots that allows your business to flourish.
Boost Workplace Engagement
Disengaged employees cost your organization roughly 18% of their annual salary according to Gallup. Unintentional team culture is the primary driver of disengagement.
Retain Your Talent
70% of employees leave due to their manager and workplace culture issues. Replacing an employee costs between 30% of an annual salary to upwards of 200%.
Improve Communication and Collaboration
Self-aware and intentional leaders are more effective. Tackle burnout, confusion, and frustration through the implementation of a simple and scalable common leadership language.

How We Catalyze Transformation
At PIQ Strategies, we help leaders fix the people problems that slow teams down—burnout, communication breakdowns, constant fires, unclear priorities, and the issues that land on your desk day after day.
Our approach is built on the People IQ Equation:
Both matter. Strong leaders without strong systems burn out. Strong systems without healthy leaders fall apart. Real change requires both.
We help organizations strengthen both sides of the equation by working in three stages:
1 - Assess
We run a practical culture audit that identifies strengths, gaps, and pressure points affecting your team.
2- Train
In multi-part training and implementation series, we teach leaders the self-awareness and communication skills that keep teams healthy and aligned—paired with the right systems and tools.
3- Improve
Built for Organizations in Motion
We specialize in small and midsize companies experiencing growth or transition, with a focus on industries where strong talent is hard to find and harder to keep: construction, manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, and education.
Healthy culture isn’t a mystery. It’s the product of aligned leaders, clear communication, and the right systems. That’s what the PIQ Equation delivers.
Grounded in People. Proven in Practice.
"Josh was one of the most impactful leaders I’ve worked with. As my supervisor for three years, he was a trusted coach and thought partner who helped me navigate high-stakes decisions and complex team dynamics. His greatest strength is the intersection of people and systems to bring clarity and results."
- Dejuan Clanton, Associate Director DSST Public Schools
What truly sets Josh apart is his ability to listen deeply. He understands the hopes and motivations of the people he works with, facilitating powerful listening tours and strategy sessions that focus on how humans collaborate. With Josh your team will build mutual care and understanding, driving the results you're after."
- John Clark, Founder, Best Days Education & Leadership Consulting
"As a consultant with our team, Josh collaborated with us to make the deliverables effective and supportive of our work. Our regular check-ins added a lot of illustration to the products while also helping us stay aligned to our goals. Our partnership helped me process everything so I could execute with my team in an effective manner. The project set our team up for success to implement some new processes this school year. I am very happy we got to work together and found Josh's support to be really helpful."
