I’m Chantalle Rose — author, educator, psychologist, and team and leadership consultant. The thread running through all of it has been the same: a deep curiosity about human behaviour, what shapes it, and how understanding it can help us to grow.

I’ve spent over 25 years working in classrooms, workplaces and boardrooms, trying to understand one question above all others: why do people do what they do?

With degrees in psychology, philosophy, and education, I’ve supported state and private sector nursery, primary and secondary schools, and I work as a consultant with teams and leaders in public sector and commercial organisations — from a handful of people who work in one room, to multinational groups collaborating across time zones and borders.

I’ve worked as an associate in a number of team and leadership development organisations since 2002, most notably with Fire Events. With globally recognised industry certifications in Emotional Intelligence Practice and a formal qualification in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, I bring a dynamic, psychologically-informed and open approach to team and leadership development — understanding the dynamics that shape how a team really works, and helping to build the conditions for them to thrive.

Alongside consultancy, I’m channelling that same questioning and experience into writing. My first book, An Unofficial Exploration of Swiftonomics, calls upon the extraordinary phenomenon of Taylor Swift as a lens to examine attention, culture, and devotion — drawing on psychology, philosophy, and education to explain what’s really happening when millions of people don’t just follow an artist, they orbit around her.

I’m always trying to understand what makes people who they are, and how we might all connect more meaningfully along the way.
