About

Hey. I'm Amantha. (Yes, it's a weird name. No, I don't know why my parents did that.)I'm obsessed with one question: what does it actually take for people to do their best work?It's what drives everything I do - the programs we run at Inventium, the AI capability work we design for teams, and the conversations I have every week with leaders at organisations like Google, Apple, Nestlé, and Deloitte. High performance isn't a personality trait, and it's definitely not something you fix with a team offsite. It's a set of conditions that can be understood, built, and sustained. That's what we help organisations do. Right now, a lot of that work is about AI. What I kept hearing from leaders through 2025 and into 2026 was: we've spent a fortune on licences and have very little to show for it. The tools work fine. The problem is that nobody thought to bring the humans along for the ride. Behaviour change, capability building, real adoption: that's the gap we work in. (I was named AI Consultant of the Year at the 2025 Australian AI Awards, which I mention not to brag, but because third-party validation is, ironically, something behavioural scientists take quite seriously.)The rest of the CV:🎙️ Host of How I Work: a podcast about habits, rituals and strategies for working better. Six million downloads and counting, with a pretty cool guest list (if I do say so myself): Adam Grant, Kara Swisher, Cal Newport, Dan Pink, Gretchen Rubin, Turia Pitt, and more. 📚 Four international bestselling books on productivity, wellbeing and innovation, translated into seven languages, including Time Wise and The Health Habit and most recently, The Energy Game. 🏆 Founder of Inventium and Inventium.ai. We help people in mid-to-large organisations change their behaviour for good and achieve sustained high performance, using strategies that are scientifically proven to work. (Not "evidence-informed". Actually proven.) 🌏 Worked with teams at Google, Apple, LEGO, Deloitte, Commonwealth Bank, Coca-Cola, Unilever, and Atlassian. 🏢 Inventium runs as a remote-first, 4-day work week (because if we're going to tell organisations how to work better, we should probably actually do it ourselves).Want to explore what better work looks like for your team or organisation?
