About Our Journey
Breakthrough2Performance was founded by Jannine Smart (Chartered Fellow CIPD), an HR specialist with a consistent track record of delivering commercial success where her recommendations have been followed to recruit, fix, train or adjust anything to do with people in the workplace.
For most businesses, simply telling Jannine about the output you’d like to change is enough for her to get to work.
The results she’s achieved have scaled from coaching entrepreneurs up to strategic HR involvement in Coca-Cola, DaimlerChrysler and T-Systems.
Specialist rare skills and experience

A business formed and grown through recommendation
