Dr Leigh Hodder PhD
Creator of the Energy Experiment Program
The experiment started long before the program did.
About Leigh
Dr Leigh Hodder, PhD, has spent three decades working at the intersection of human behaviour, performance and the forces that shape how people function — in their professional lives, their relationships and within themselves.
The Energy Experiment Program is the distillation of all of it. Thirty years of research, practice and careful observation, shaped into a framework that is both rigorously grounded and genuinely useful in real life.
The Work
Leigh holds a doctorate in psychology and has worked across three decades as a psychologist, workplace mediator, investigator and consultant — with individuals, teams and organisations navigating some of the most complex and demanding situations in professional life.
That career sits at the foundation of the Energy Experiment Program. Not as a credential to wave, but as the source of what makes it work. Thirty years of sitting with people in difficult circumstances teaches you things that no amount of reading can replicate.
You learn what actually depletes people.
You learn what actually restores them.
You learn that the same situation can completely drain one person and barely touch another — and that the difference almost always comes down to energy management.
The life behind the work.
The Energy Experiment Program is grounded in thirty years of research and observation.
The Foundation Workshop has been delivered to thousands of participants across Australia — introducing the framework to individuals and organisations who are ready to work with their energy more deliberately.
Leigh's personal energy management plan has been in place since 1995.
Leigh lives in Brisbane and is accompanied in this endeavour by her puppies, a significant collection of magazines, music and DVDs, and an unwavering commitment to the full rainbow of chocolate varieties.
Program Philosophy.
Energy is the most fundamental resource we have. Not time. Not money. Not willpower. Energy.
Everything else we have or pursue depends on our capacity to expend it wisely, manage it and renew it with intention. And yet most of us move through our lives with very little conscious awareness of how our energy actually works — what fills it, what drains it, what the patterns are, and what is possible when we start paying attention to them deliberately.
