Behavioural Edge Psychology can help you get your edge above the rest

Your Sign to Get Your Edge.

My story

I embarked on this career path after completing my undergraduate and graduate studies in psychology. I am a registered psychologist with Ahpra endorsement in organisational psychology.

It takes time and effort to become a professional!

​I earned my PhD in 2023 and have published peer-reviewed research on subjects such as leadership, management, psychological safety and trust at work, and organisational change.

I read and write a lot...

With over a decade of experience, I have worked within organisations to support their strategic people development agendas, gaining experience in people management and executive leadership. 

I advanced in my career because of my technical expertise.

Throughout my career, I repeatedly observed a common issue: brilliant minds and technical experts would advance to leadership roles. Their expertise was honed through formal education, qualifications, and on-the-job experience. However, these exceptional individuals often lacked adequate support to enhance their people and relational skills, as well as their self-care abilities.

What consistently followed for these individuals? Fatigue, stress, errors, suboptimal behaviour, and burnout. This outcome was detrimental both to the person and the organisation. ​

Talent is not a commodity, it is an investment. The workplace is not stable, it is a complex and adapting system. Professionals need replenishment and development to thrive.

My aim is to help break this cycle. I provide support to individuals and organisations so that these highly talented and valuable professionals can thrive in the workplace. ​We invest significant time, money, and energy into developing technical skills (university degrees, professional associations, continuous professional development, etc.) that produce results. It stands to reason that if we want to excel at work, we need to invest in our interpersonal skills and coping strategies. 

This story is not unique.

I believe what I observed is very representative of the contemporary workplace and it is unlikely to become easier. If this resonates with you, reach out. I can assist.
