Research & Speaking

Research

My research explores the psychological processes that enable individuals, organisations and communities to thrive in the face of complexity and change.

My work brings together social, organisational and health psychology to understand topics including:

• Leadership and leadership development 
• Meaning in life and purpose 
• Burnout and workplace wellbeing 
• Identity and social belonging 
• Morality and values 
• Psychological resilience 
• Higher education and academic work 
• Health and wellbeing 

I am committed to conducting research that not only advances scientific understanding but also informs policy, professional practice and organisational decision-making.
