And since this e-postcard has only so much room to spare, I’ll cut right to the chase. It was my absolute pleasure traveling to and across Australia as I accompanied [Peter Berry Consultancy](https://www.peterberry.com.au/) (Hogan’s premier distributor) for their [2019 Thought Leadership Forum](https://www.peterberry.com.au/news-events/pbc-thought-leadership-forum-2019/). This series of events featured the Australian Psychological Society’s biannual I/O Psychology Conference (IOP) as a capstone, of which PBC continues to be the sole platinum sponsor. The following was just some of my report from the antipodes: - The PBC Hogan User conferences in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide were each a huge success. With [legendary style](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=6udEQjVNP18), Peter Berry, Managing Director and Shayne Nealon, Managing Partner of PBC delivered presentations on client case studies and the latest innovations on the [Hogan 360](https://www.peterberry.com.au/products/hogan-360/). A special highlight was when an executive from Australia’s national cricket team gave a ripper presentation on their usage of Hogan and the benefits it has brought to the organization. Public and private sector executives, academics, consultants and coaches were all in attendance. - Dr. Geoff Trickey, founder of Hogan’s elite UK distributor [PCL](http://www.psychological-consultancy.com/products/risk-type-compass/), not only presented on his well-researched [Risk Type Compass](http://www.psychological-consultancy.com/products/risk-type-compass/) (a metric for measuring risk appetite and the behaviors associated with eight different risk orientations), he also won “Best Paper” at the IOP event for a related study. Go Geoff! - Speaking of IOP, the well-oiled machine that is the PBC team captivated several audiences across the conference halls with their engaging talent management topics: - Mark Do: Contemporary trends in personality and leadership assessment: Where are we now and where are we headed - Adrien Chew: Observed leadership behavior around the world: Exploring reputational differences of leaders across countries using 360s. - Kalani Koswatta Liyanage: What makes an effective leader? The impact of gender and personality on perceived leadership effectiveness. - Dr. Lynne Cruickshank: (1) Personality and High Performing Teams: Examining the relationship between personality and team performance. / (2) Engaging a Multi-Generational Workforce: Investigating differences in Values and Personality. - I’d also like to take a moment here to state my gratitude to Hogan’s Drs. Darin Nei and Brandon Ferrell, and PBC’s Dr. Lynne Cruickshank for their invaluable contributions as co-authors on a cross cultural paper featuring the Hogan360 (a topic which was also presented across the events). It was recently accepted by a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Congratulations you three! More to come on that soon… If you didn’t get a chance to join and want to know more about these highly interesting topics, please [contact a PBC consultant](https://www.peterberry.com.au/contact/) for more information related to any of the above. They are always happy to oblige. Wait…did you not know any of this was happening? You must not be on the [PBC Newsletter](https://www.peterberry.com.au/newsletter/). I highly suggest you enroll!
