The Background
Behind the Work
Damian’s approach is shaped by both commercial experience and deep psychological expertise.
Before moving into psychology, Damian built his early career across human resources, sales, and customer excellence. He later returned to study as a mature-age student, developing the growth mindset that continues to shape his work today. His academic and professional path has focused on leadership, engagement, and the systems that enable people to perform sustainably under pressure.
Our identity
Why Science of Happiness and Success?
Our name reflects both our philosophy and our purpose.
Science has been the driving force behind humanity’s greatest advances — shaping how we live, work, lead, and innovate. It provides the evidence-based foundation that underpins every service we deliver. Yet progress alone does not guarantee fulfilment.
We believe the future has the potential to be better than the present, and that every individual has the capacity and freedom to shape that future through their choices, mindset, and actions.
By applying the science of human performance, wellbeing, leadership, and organisational effectiveness, we help leaders build psychologically safe, high-performing cultures where people flourish, performance grows, and success is both sustainable and rewarding.
Because sustainable success is achieved through thriving people.
In a world of increasing complexity, speed, and expectation, many individuals and organisations achieve success while experiencing stress, disengagement, or a diminished sense of wellbeing.
The gap in modern success
Sustainable success is different
It is the ability to achieve meaningful results while enabling people to thrive — not just for a season, but over the long term
