Today I join many others in celebrating the life of Dr Martin Luther King jr. A man whose teachings and example have inspired me since I was a teenager, and are as relevant & necessary as they were 60 years ago.
Thank you Dr King for your continuing legacy.

I do something similar at the start of each working day, and it helps bring a lot of perspective to the challenges that lie ahead.

As we move into the second week of January, a timely reminder from Dr Suzy Green that when we set clear, specific, behavioural goals, it subconsciously shapes "what we notice, how motivated we feel, how persistent we are, and the choices we make."

New research confirming the link between emotions and creativity. To quote the abstract, "Happiness, as a positive psychological state, broadens thinking & strengthens intrinsic motivation, thereby fostering innovative behavior."

Happy New Year! I hope 2026 brings you success, happiness & fulfillment.
As we start the year with so many good intentions, I share the wisdom not of a great psychologist, but someone much more familar.

RIP Professor Peter Saville.
A genuine giant in the field of psychometric testing in the UK; many will have come across/taken the OPQ, the personality questionnaire that led the way for many in the field of work-based personality assessment.
A true great. I was privileged enough to hear, and then meet, him at the 1st IPPA World Congress in Philadelphia in 2009. All I could stammer out was "Thank you for everything you've done". RIP Mihaly Csikszenthihalyi, one of the fathers of Positive Psychology ❤❤❤
RIP Dr Ed Diener, who passed away on 27th April. Ed was a passionate and engaging communicator, and one of those rare beasts in psychology - a true scientist. One of my academic & scientific heroes, thank you for everything you did 'Dr Happiness" ❤
