Professor Tim Sharp is an expert in human behaviour and thinking. He knows what makes people tick. And he knows that understanding and connecting with people (including getting the most out of them), as managers and colleagues and parents and friends, is a serious business. Prof. Sharp takes it so seriously that he is passionate about making it fun and entertaining so his audiences actually listen and learn.
Prof. Sharp has three degrees in psychology, more than two decades experience as a clinical psychologist, executive coach, corporate consultant, entrepreneur, manager, employer and parent!
He’s widely regarded as one of the world’s leading experts in the exciting new fields of positive psychology and positive organisational scholarship and he’s a rarity in that he’s highly regarded among his academic colleagues (holding professorial appointments at UTS Business School and RMIT School of Health Sciences) as well as those in the business community. In fact, in 2008 he was awarded a Future Summit Leadership Award by the Australian Davos Connection, an award set up to provide “the opportunity for outstanding new generation leaders to be recognised for their achievements and to contribute to a vision for Australia’s future”.
On top of all of that, he’s a best-selling author and regular media commentator who’s been read and heard and seen by literally millions of people over the last few years via his appearances on and contributions to Sunrise, The Morning Show, The Today Show, the Australian Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald, Sun Herald, Sunday Telegraph and ABC radio (to mention just a few). Just as importantly, Professor Tim Sharp is one of Australia’s most entertaining and informative public, corporate and conference speakers.
