Hi, I’m Sam Carruthers.

I’m is a Psychologist and the Director of Cairns Organisational Psychology.  I’ve been working with people to facilitate change my entire career. 

If you are a leader who wants to improve the performance of your people at work, I can help you. Or do you need space to focus on your own development? I can provide that space.

I can partner with you, to lead transformation. 

My Approach

My brain can’t help but work at a systems level. I see a web of interconnected and interdependent factors, that create a particular context. I think about how people’s behaviours are being affected. What is working? What could be done differently? What does the research tell us? How can we measure what is happening, so that we can learn and develop.

I aim to build capability in others, so that they can sustain the learning journey together, long after I’ve gone. 

Implement change consciously

Don’t let your transformation efforts fail - Implement change consciously.

I work closely with you to identity the change you are trying to achieve, develop a plan to make it happen and then use valid and reliable methods to see if it’s working. 

Create a culture of innovation

Become a Learning Organisation - Create a Culture of Innovation. 

Being able to measure the impact of a strategy is vital - but using that data effectively, it not as simple as it sounds. I can help you collect and analyse data, in ways that engage staff in the process. Your people will become open to critical reflection, able to learn from their experiences and offer great solutions.

Be an employer of choice

Go beyond compliance - Be an employer of choice.

Psychological injury at work can be expensive and avoidable. I help you take a systems based approach to identify psycho-social risks and find solutions to help your workplace thrive.
