Randy Poon

Purpose and Performance Project

I help leaders and teams align who they are with how they work–especially when things get busy or uncertain.

I founded The Purpose + Performance Project to serve leaders who want clarity, steadiness, and healthier ways of working. My approach blends purpose, practical strategy, and grounded coaching. I work with clients to return to what matters most and build alignment with how they’re actually living and leading. Together we explore the small shifts that hold up when the pace picks up and things get a little messier.

Alongside my coaching work, I partner with organizations through consulting and training, helping leadership teams clarify direction, strengthen alignment, and build practical habits that improve how they show up together. I design and lead workshops that give teams shared language, clearer priorities, and a rhythm they can practically and tangibly sustain.

Over the years, I’ve worked with founders, executives, and teams across sectors. The common thread is a desire to lead with more intention and focus, while navigating growth in a way that stays deeply human.

I hold an MBA and a PhD in organizational leadership, have taught at the university level, and serve on several non-profit boards. But the work that energizes me most is supporting leaders in real time—helping them see more clearly, reconnect with purpose, and bring out the best in themselves and their teams.
