The story behind UPworking.

After more than 25 years leading and transforming global businesses, Clive Punter stepped into something he'd been searching for all along - his GeniusQ: the place where his talent, his passion and the value he brings all meet.

For Clive, that's helping leaders think, lead and grow. It's the reason UPworking exists.

Those 25-plus years at the intersection of media, technology and commercial growth, on both sides of the Atlantic, taught him what matters in the moments that count, and how to drive success. His career spans senior executive roles across the UK, Europe and the United States, including Chief Revenue Officer of OUTFRONT Media, a $1.8B NYSE-listed company; Global Managing Director at LinkedIn; and International CEO of CBS Outdoor.

It's a rare combination of strategic perspective and lived leadership experience, which means he's sat where you sit.

Across those years working with global brands, leadership teams and fast-growing organisations, Clive noticed a consistent pattern: the businesses that thrived weren't always the ones with the greatest resources, the best products or the strongest market position. They were the ones led with clarity - clarity of strategy, clarity of priorities, clarity of leadership.

Again and again, the difference between potential and performance came down to leadership.

UPworking was founded on the belief that most leaders and organisations hold far more potential than they realise - and that unlocking it begins with clearer thinking, sharper judgement and stronger leadership alignment.

Today, Clive works with ambitious leaders and organisations who can feel that gap between potential and performance and are ready to close it. Together, they turn potential into performance and build stronger businesses in the process.

THINK.   LEAD.   GROW.

Great leadership begins with judgement.

In a world of constant information, noise and competing priorities, the leaders who succeed are those who can step back, see their organisation clearly, and focus on what truly matters.

Clarity creates competence. Competence drives confidence. This is what turns focus into results.

A framework for finding your highest contribution.

GeniusQ is a framework for unlocking a higher level of leadership thinking. The premise is simple: everyone has their own genius, and most people spend almost no time discovering it - let alone living in it.

This kind of thinking emerges when leaders move beyond the noise of activity and develop a deeper awareness of themselves, their organisations, and the systems they shape.

At its core, GeniusQ helps leaders identify where their talent, passion and value intersect - the place where they and their organisations can create the greatest impact.
