Flourish is where reflective leadership meets practical wisdom. Inspired by the call to see clearly, act wisely and change human systems, each issue invites deeper understanding and courageous action in a complex world.

Welcome to the Flourish newsletter archive; an evolving collection of reflections, stories and insights from Dr Josie McLean.

Each edition of Flourish invites readers to pause, see clearly, and act wisely amid the complexity of today’s world. Drawing from systems thinking, adaptive leadership and years of coaching experience, Josie explores how individuals and organisations can evolve with greater awareness, compassion and courage.

Here, you’ll find essays on the art of change, leadership in uncertainty, and the human side of transformation, how culture, mindset and purpose shape the way we respond to challenge. You’ll also find practical reflections from Josie’s work with leaders across government, business and community, each issue designed to help you notice patterns, shift perspectives and nurture the conditions for thriving.

Whether you’re revisiting an earlier edition or discovering Flourish for the first time, these newsletters offer a steady companion for your leadership journey. They’re written for those seeking to cultivate wisdom in action, to make sense of complexity, and to spark meaningful change from wherever they stand.
