Psych Leadership - A division of Rise Up Academics

From graduation caps to corner offices, the journey is anything but straightforward. The Psych Leadership Podcast blends real-world leadership experience with the science of human behavior to help you navigate work, life, and the space between.

Whether you’re a recent graduate finding your footing or a seasoned professional looking to lead with greater impact, each episode delivers practical strategies grounded in psychology — from mastering first impressions and building resilience to influencing without authority and shaping your long-term career path.

Host Luke UpChurch, a business leader and psychology graduate, draws from 28+ years in organizational leadership, process improvement, and talent strategy to bring you insights that work in the real world.

Because leadership isn’t just for the people with the title — it’s a mindset, a skillset, and a toolkit you can start using today.

Would these types of insights help your team grow? Consider booking a consultation with Psych Leadership!

Donnie Parrish

A wonderful friend and colleague, Donnie is an experienced professional in all things scaled agile. He also brings a wealth of personal experience as it relates to depression and suicide.

First wife suffered from depression greatly (diagnosed with SAD), had a substance abuse issue with prescriptive medications, and committed suicide January 15, 2015.
Both my son & I highly recommend counseling to anyone suffering from depression and I’m an advocate to others on seeking treatment instead of life-ending action.
