Dr Hayley Linthwaite
Creative provocateur for changemakers.
Discover your potency in this moment.
The chaos and complexity of our modern world urgently beckon the new and different.
I move people to ignite the sparks of change.
Face the formidable unknown. Dare a fresh look. Cultivate courage, imagination and beauty.
And joyfully reveal more abundant futures.
I’m Dr Hayley Linthwaite.
For over 30 years, I've made it my life's work to ignite the sparks of transformative change all over the world.
I have cultivated a community of global changemakers: empowering leaders and teams, delivering multi-million dollar organisational change programs, founding social enterprises, and facilitating experiences designed to make you move.
I integrate insights from the very edge of leadership research, transformation theory, learning design, arts practice, and neuroscience to create provocations — powerful experiences that move you to create change and build momentum towards your goals.
Provocations
-
Spark meaningful change — in your life, organisation or community — through powerful, experiential programs and workshops.
-
Develop the leadership competencies and capacities that enable you to flow with, and purposefully shape a constantly shifting landscape.
-
Tap into new ways of being, accelerate transformation, and sustain momentum through embodied experiences and somatic practices.
Every day, we dance on the razor’s edge between what is, and what could be. My life’s work is in the unlock – the crossing of that threshold.
