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.

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!

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.

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.
