Flourishing Minds Consulting is a boutique consulting firm based in Melbourne, Australia. Founded by a Masters-qualified business psychologist we help leaders, teams and organisations to build stronger levels of trust, clarity, alignment and human connection. We opened in 2014.
We often do this by helping leaders and their teams to more effectively navigate those conversations that really matter in the workplace. Other areas of focus include helping organisations or teams to define ways of working or fundamental values and guiding principles. We sometimes build success profiles for key roles or leadership teams, or work with our clients to identify the individual and collective strengths of their people.
Ultimately, our aim is to help individuals and organisations to ‘grow’ and flourish by creating a workforce that is happier, more engaged and productive, and more likely to deliver positive outcomes. We achieve this through the application of experience, research and findings in the areas of:
· Organisational psychology
· Positive psychology
· Leadership and professional development
· Neuroscience and human cognition
· Employee engagement & motivation
· Talent identification and talent management
· Performance and potential
· Learning agility
Our ideal clients are organisations and businesses who are focused on developing a thriving, capable, and engaged workforce through strenthening capability, increasing engagement and well-being, ensuring organisational alignment, and getting the ‘right’ employees in the right roles. This often involves exploring and considering what success really ‘looks like’ in that organisation’s unique context and environment.
Given our focus on positive psychology, we particularly enjoy working with individuals, teams, and organisations to identify, explore, and develop existing strengths, rather than always focusing on ‘weaknesses’.
We also like working with clients who appreciate tailored solutions that are based on a careful consideration of individual needs and requirements, and delivered by qualified and experienced business psychologists. In our view, ‘one size fits all’ approaches to designing and delivering organisational development projects and interventions rarely work – particularly if the organisation’s unique culture, strategy and context have not been taken into account.
Our existing clients include a range of organisations from both the public and private sector, across a range of different industries and sectors. We are happy to work with businesses of all sizes, as well as engaging directly with individuals.
Along with qualifications and experience in Organisational Psychology, we have significant experience in delivering both small and large projects across a range of different organisational environments. As such, we have developed a solid understanding of the common challenges faced by many organisations, including those experienced by business owners, leaders, and HR professionals. Consequently, our methods and approaches are guided by best practice while also taking practical business requirements and constraints into account. We are based in Melbourne, Australia.
Leisa Molloy is the founder and Director of Flourishing Minds Consulting, playing a lead role in scoping, designing and delivering the majority of client projects. We work alongside a broader team of qualified Associates when delivering larger projects or completing work that requires diverse expertise. All of our Associates hold appropriate qualifications and have significant expertise and experience in the relevant subject areas. Our focus is always on getting the best result for our clients – as such, we are more than happy to provide referrals to others within our professional networks when appropriate.
The founder of Flourishing Minds Consulting, Leisa is a Masters-qualified registered psychologist and experienced practitioner in the field of organisational or business psychology. Prior to becoming a psychologist she held several customer facing and marketing roles in both small businesses and large international organisations. For the last 15 years she has provided organisational psychology consulting services to a broad range of clients.
Leisa is passionate about helping individuals to increase their levels of motivation, engagement and capability within the workplace, using her unique combination of skills and experience in psychology, neuroscience and career development to do so. In turn, this helps her clients to achieve their potential and make strong and positive contributions to organisational outcomes.
Her approach to working with clients is warm and compassionate, yet also practical and grounded in her understanding of the challenges, constraints and opportunities faced by today’s leaders and organisations. She enjoys supporting individuals and organisations in exploring potential ‘blind spots’ and performance derailers, while also using strengths-based and positive psychology approaches to uncover and leverage strengths.
As well as being the owner of Flourishing Minds Consulting, Leisa also has significant experience working within and providing Associate services on behalf of several national and global HR, organisational psychology, career development, recruitment, and consulting firms.
Her formal qualifications include a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), Graduate Diploma in Science (Psychology), and Masters of Psychology (Organisational). She is a registered psychologist within Australia (AHPRA) and a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). She also holds a Level One Coaching Certification from the Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL), and Professional membership with the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI). She is accredited in a broad range of psychometric tools and has completed a number of courses in the area of positive psychology, learning agility, and well-being.
Given our formal qualifications and experience in Organisational Psychology, we bring a depth of understanding in human behaviour to our work with individuals, teams, and organisations. In working with you, we are also able to draw upon our broad experience and knowledge in the areas of leadership development, neuroscience, positive psychology, employee motivation and performance, and behavioural change.
