Dr Brigid Nossal (PhD) is a co-founder, Leadership Advisor and Academic Staff member at NIODA.

She has worked as a consultant to organisations for over 20 years. She specialises in leadership development, business improvement and work culture diagnosis and transformation through Executive Coaching/Role Analysis (individual and group) and Action Learning-oriented consulting interventions.

Brigid combines academic research and teaching with organisational consulting. Applied systems psychodynamics is central to her work. This means that the emotional and task-focused dimensions of client experience are considered within a broader system context. Attending to ‘below the surface’ issues at the same time as examining task-related roles, structures and ways of doing things as a co-creative process with clients, delivers sustainable change for the better. Clients report feeling freer to focus on work tasks and better able to mobilise their creative energy in the service of organisational goals. Brigid consults to a broad range of both public and private sector organisations. She is also an active educator, teaching and supervising up to Professional Doctorate level in Organisation Dynamics.

Brigid combines academic teaching and research with consulting in applied systems psychodynamics. Brigid has been working on staff of Group Relations Conferences since 2005. She directed the 2023 and 2017 GRCs for NIODA. She has worked on conferences in Australia, the UK, India and China.
