Leadership & Executive Performance
Two interconnected services — one for the whole leadership cohort, one for the individual executive. Both measurement-led, both psychologically deep, and both designed to produce verifiable, lasting change.

Service 01 — Overview
Executive Coaching For Leaders Shaping Culture
This is not conversational coaching. It is a structured, evidence-based intervention for senior leaders who understand that sustainable performance requires freer thinking, psychological safety, and the courage to lead differently.
At executive level, what separates high-performing leaders from those creating unintended cultural risk is rarely visible — the quality of thinking under pressure, and the degree to which unexamined patterns shape the culture below them.
We Measure
Thinking Quality Under Pressure
The conditions degrading your cognitive quality and the flexibility needed to access clearer thinking when it matters most.
We Shift
Unexamined Patterns Creating Risk
Patterns adaptive early in your career and now creating unintended cultural consequences — surfaced carefully, rigorously.
We Embed
Leadership Identity & Safety
Working directly with identity — not just behaviour — so leadership presence supports rather than suppresses psychological safety.
You Gain
Sustainable Performance
The psychological architecture of sustainable high performance — the real difference between striving and grinding.
This Is Right For You If…
You Recognise These Situations
You lead a team and feel culture isn’t what you intended it to be
You’re facing elevated psychosocial risk or regulatory scrutiny
Standard leadership training hasn’t produced lasting change
You want data — not anecdote — to demonstrate culture improvement
You’re scaling rapidly and need culture to keep pace with growth
Post-merger or restructure — you need coherence from disparate parts
Who It's For
Right For You If & Works Best When
Leadership and culture work is a serious undertaking. It delivers for organisations with genuine readiness — not just appetite.
Our Approach
A Measurement-Led Five-Step Method
All engagements begin with rigorous measurement and close with a formal impact report — defensible, data-driven evidence of what shifted, formatted for your board or regulator.
Step 1
Diagnostic & Baseline Measurement
Validated psychometrics — WPSQ, Leadership Mindset Inventory, and 360° behavioural assessments. Replaces assumption with data from day one.
Step 2
Individual Debrief & Insight
Each leader receives a personalised debrief with a qualified organisational psychologist — creating the moment of genuine insight that makes change feel necessary, not just possible.
Step 3
Cohort-Based Development
Group workshops translating individual insight into shared language and collective practice — psychological safety, cognitive flexibility, constructive conflict, culture-shaping behaviours.
Assessment Instruments
Measuring What Actually Matters
Validated psychometric assessments ground each engagement in data — replacing self-perception alone with honest insight into patterns, strengths, and development edges.
Thinking & Behaviour
Human Synergistics LSI1 & LSI2
A 360 assessment measuring self-perceived thinking and behavioural styles (LSI1) alongside how others experience them (LSI2), highlighting constructive and defensive patterns.

Damien was terrific; he handled the large group really well and was able to adjust to things that arose during the sessions, in terms of meeting the diverse needs of the group. Really great and we appreciate the introduction to him!
John Doe

I really enjoyed the content on personal values, the worksheet resources and diagrams, as well as the presentation style today.
I’d absolutely be keen for any other sessions that are presented by Damian / The Science of Happiness and Success in future.

April 1, 2021, Judy was senior to Damian but didn’t manage Damian directly
Damian and I worked together at Australian Red Cross. He was a great coach to me, the leadership team and the Board on our role in leading and role modelling a constructive and performance-oriented culture. A great listener, Damian was also good at holding up the mirror to me in a way which helped me see what I didn’t see and change as a result. Professional, thoughtful and of the highest integrity are the three attributes which come to mind when I think of Damian.
