Our Team

Ash Buchanan: Founder

Ash Buchanan, MAPP, is a leader in mindset science and an experienced wellbeing and regenerative practitioner. He helps organisations, schools, and communities develop mindset skills that can transform how they learn, lead, and work.

Ash is best known for leading a decade-long research program to study the mindset field as a whole. This includes mapping the field’s history, definitions, theories, and types using a systems change methodology, and developing a comprehensive science of mindset. From this foundation, he has developed two new practices: mindset literacy and mindset-aware leadership.

More broadly, his work sits at the intersection of wellbeing, embodiment practice, regenerative development, lived experience, systems change, transformative learning, and power-literacy. What this means in practice is that Ash partners with schools and organisations, to help them create community-led change across a whole system.

He is the author of five books, including the #1 Amazon bestsellers: Mindset Aware, The Nature of Mindset, and Handbook of Mindset Research. He also leads a regenerative wellbeing initiative called benefit mindset, which is a compassionate and transformative evolution of growth and fixed mindset.

Ash holds a Master of Applied Positive Psychology and a Bachelor of Engineering and Science, both from the University of Melbourne, where he was also a member of the Thrive Research Hub. He was a Fellow at the Centre for Sustainability Leadership. His work has featured in the International Journal of Wellbeing, Psychology Today, and Edutopia.

Whether you’re leading organisational transformation, reimagining education, or contributing to wider systems change, Ash would love to explore how we might work together.
