Australia’s prevention-first expert in psychological safety
Dr. Kylie Armstrong builds organisational capability to prevent psychological harm before it occurs. With over 25 years driving innovation and system change across healthcare, education, pharmaceutical, and tertiary sectors, Kylie understands the unique pressures facing people-focused organisations, and recognised that most lack the internal capability to prevent psychosocial risks early.
The BEACH framework emerged from this insight: a proprietary, evidence-based methodology integrating Safe Work Australia psychosocial risk standards, occupational wellbeing research, and organisational systems change. It translates complex regulatory requirements into practical training that builds lasting prevention capability, not external dependency.
Kylie’s doctoral research and 30+ peer-reviewed publications established her expertise in mental health, behaviour change, and translational research. Her career spans primary and acute care, life sciences, and all levels of education – bringing deep understanding of the pain points health and education professionals face.
Renowned for leadership development and organisational change expertise, Kylie co-designs sector-specific solutions that equip leaders and teams with practical skills to identify and prevent psychological harm early.
As co-founder of ConnectedLe, Kylie translates research and sector experience into science-backed training that prevents harm before crisis – empowering those who lead others to build genuinely psychologically safe, connected, and thriving workplaces.
