Piers Thurston

Catch Piers on DO Radio: Tomorrow's Word with Jon Kaye 14th - 20th September 2026.

Piers Thurston has spent more than 25 years exploring how people think, perform and change.

After an early career in sales, marketing and innovation, Piers moved into coaching in 2000, working with leaders, founders and organisations. Along the way, he began questioning some of the conventional ideas about mindset, self-development and our attempts to manage our own thinking.

That led him to develop Quality of Mind, an approach he describes as looking “before psychology” — exploring what happens when we stop trying so hard to fix or optimise ourselves and begin to understand the mind differently.

His work explores flow, creativity, resilience, performance and our sense of self, and what all of that might mean for how we work and live.
