Welcome

DMA's focus on Talent Management and Leadership Development has grown out of Denis McCarthy's longstanding commitment to human potential, social ecology, environmental and occupational psychology, organizational development and transformation.

Always a holistic, integrative innovator, Denis for several decades has been on the cutting-edge of managerial thinking on key issues including: conflict, stress, wellness, work-life balance, optimizing individual and team effectiveness and performance and coaching for leadership.

The result of his search for the world's best solutions and tools for dealing with these issues is DMA's alliances with the HR Chally Group (USA), Robertson Cooper Limited (UK), HeartMath Corporation (USA) and several Australian and Asian based consultancy firms.

• HeartMath Freeze-Framer™ Stress Relief Technology
  
• HeartMath Power to Change Performance IQM Program
  
• TMS Strategic Team Development Profile

Our range of services, our people, our mission, vision and values are described on our other webpages.

The essence of all of what we do and offer is that we want to make a profound and positive contribution to organizations and their members so that they are empowered to harness all their talent and resources towards transitioning earth and all its inhabitants through this period of crisis, instability and significant global ecological and societal challenges into an era of environmental health, stability and greater social harmony, peace and well-being.
