A positive workplace is a powerful thing.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr Suzy Green, the CEO & Founder of The Positivity Institute, a positively deviant organisation dedicated to the research and application of Positive Psychology in workplaces and schools. She is a leader in the complementary fields of Coaching Psychology and Positive Psychology, having conducted a world first study on the impact of evidence based coaching on performance and wellbeing.

Suzy is an Honorary Professor in the School of Psychology at the University of East London. Suzy also holds honorary academic positions at the Centre for Positive Psychology, University of Melbourne and the Black Dog Institute. Suzy is also an affiliate of the Institute for Wellbeing at Cambridge University. As a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in the treatment of mental illness, Suzy is passionate about reducing the significant impact of mental health in our workplaces, schools and communities.

As a Coaching Psychologist, who has scientifically investigated the impact of evidence-based coaching, Suzy is also passionate about encouraging the use of coaching for performance and wellbeing enhancement for all. Suzy’s extensive experience in the media includes having been a brand ambassador for ANZ, Fitbit, Nivea, Nespresso and Officeworks. Suzy is also an official ambassador for the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

Suzy and I discussed:

• Key characteristics of positive leaders in education and how they influence the success of a school.
• How positive leadership can address issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in education.
• Examples of specific strategies or initiatives that positive leaders can implement to foster a culture of collaboration.
• In challenging situations or times of change, how positive leaders can effectively guide their teams and maintain a sense of optimism.
• And much more!

Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to create a better future for our life long learners!
