Hello and welcome! I’m Lisa Hood, and I’m passionate about improving school culture through the power of positive psychology and psychological safety. With over fourteen years of experience in education, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible impact that wellbeing-focused strategies can have—not just on educators, but also on students and the broader school community.

I hold a Masters of Educational Leadership and a Diploma in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing, which have equipped me with both the leadership expertise and science-backed knowledge necessary to drive meaningful change in schools. I’m deeply committed to using the evidence-based strategies from positive psychology experts to create flourishing school environments where both staff and students can succeed.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with school leadership teams and educators, providing support and guidance to help improve culture and communication within school communities. By embedding positive psychology practices, schools can foster a culture that nurtures emotional resilience, wellbeing, and collaboration. This creates a ripple effect—when teachers and staff feel supported and valued, their positivity and engagement naturally extend to the students they teach.

Having spent over a decade in the education sector, I have seen the ongoing and escalating struggles and pressures teachers and school leaders face daily. That’s why I am committed to sharing the tools I’ve learned to help schools become healthier, more connected places to work and learn. The strategies I provide are not only practical, but they also have a lasting impact—enhancing both individual and team wellbeing, which ultimately leads to improved student outcomes.

If you're looking to build a positive, supportive school culture that prioritises the wellbeing of your staff and students, I would love to help. Together, we can create a flourishing school community where everyone has the support they need to succeed.
