Personal profile

Research biography

Underpinned by an innate interest for human flourishing, my current research portfolio spans three predominant areas with a positive psychology lens: (1) leadership – namely leadership development, authentic leadership, emotional & social competence, and psychological safety, (2) organisational learning & development, which aims to build capability through the alignment of strategy, structure and the heartbeat of organisations, it’s people, and (3) career development – namely the factors & mechanisms that contribute to transformational change and/or career advancement.
