From Corporate HR to GLOBAL CHANGEMAKER | Dr. Matthew Henricks
Strategy. Culture. Purpose. Impact.
What if your next offsite could change the world and your team?
In this powerful episode of the Martian Logic Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Matthew Henricks - Organisational Psychologist, leadership expert, and founder of two life-changing social impact programs:
Helping Hands and Water Works.
Inside this conversation:
- Why 60% of M&A deals fail—and how HR can turn it around
- The surprising driver of performance (hint: it's not your bonus structure)
- Why symbols—not slogans—define real culture
- What working in refugee camps can teach us about corporate leadership
- How to align strategy and purpose to drive transformation that lasts
Dr. Henricks has advised organisations like Telstra and Argyle Diamond Mine on leadership, culture, and change—and he’s channelled that same expertise into building global movements that combine team building with life-changing impact.
