Consulting

When I completed my Diploma of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing, I was an Organisational Change Manager. My role involved leading a team of HR and change professionals who specialised in managing the people side of change and worked on various projects. I was in a state of both personal and professional change. I had a young family with one child on the way and was looking to further my education.

I was drawn to the Diploma after exposure to positive education when I worked with educators to implement a student wellbeing and leadership programme within schools across Australia and New Zealand. I was also fortunate to attend the World Congress on Positive Psychology in 2019, which sparked my curiosity and interest in the application of positive psychology across the globe.

I was working as a youth counsellor when I stumbled across the Diploma, and as it had been many years since completing my psychology studies, I had been keen to upskill and refresh my knowledge. Then I happened to come across a webinar where Sue discussed some of the central tenets of positive psychology, and I had one of those “This is it!” moments.

I was first introduced to Sue Langley and the positive psychology work of the Langley Group in 2017 while working at the Sydney Opera House. I found the content inspiring and very complimentary to the work I was already doing in the people skills and leadership development space. My colleague and I were inspired to gain accreditation in the Strengths Profile tool and further reaped the benefits of these concepts by implementing them across the business.
