Health.
Engagement.
Connection.
Courageous organisations embrace what makes us human. They proactively address the fundamentals that enable sustained performance in their people. They have learnt this by going against the status quo, genuinely caring about what makes people tick, and practically applying years of psychological research.
When human fundamentals are prioritised by the environment and the people who lead it, we are more accountable, empathetic, resilient, aligned, and make clearer decisions.
Mike delivers customised frameworks and development suggestions through keynotes, workshops, and programs that empower leaders & organisations to build systems that reject shortcuts, fads, and pseudoscience, and instead take on the challenge of building sustained high-performance.
About Mike Kennedy
Human-Centred Education & Application
Mike’s understanding of how human fundamentals enable performance began as an elite athlete living in New Zealand and Ireland (mainly learnt what ‘not’ to do). Mike’s key interests and areas of expertise come from his studies in psychology around mental health strategy, and his work in organisations on leadership, behavioural change, and interpersonal behaviour as enablers of performance.
Mike continues to work closely with the Wellbeing Science Institute where he teaches the world leading Cert IV in Elite Athlete Wellbeing. The course of choice for wellbeing managers in the NRL and player care managers in the English Premier League. Alongside his work with WSI, Mike runs a business working with organisations in multiple sectors developing customised approaches grounded in psychological science to enhance leadership, connection, and engagement.
Mike believes everyone is fundamentally capable of being the expert of their own situation and therefore ensures self-determination, education, and critical thinking are at the centre of his work. In 2025, Mike began a PhD at Western Sydney University testing this approach in organisations and schools.
