DR. RAFAEL CHIUZI BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Rafael Chiuzi is an organizational psychologist, educator, and researcher whose work focuses on leadership, organizational behaviour, and change management.

He currently serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga, where he teaches organizational behaviour, leadership, and global business.

Dr. Chiuzi also teaches in the Global Leadership Development Program at UTM and serves as a guest professor at FDC Business School in Brazil, one of Latin America’s leading executive education institutions.

His research explores the science behind human behaviour in organizations, particularly through the concept of psychological contracts — the implicit agreements that define mutual expectations between leaders and employees.

Dr. Rafael Chiuzi’s doctoral thesis at the University of São Paulo examined the application of psychological contracts to leadership and team dynamics, highlighting how trust, identity, and commitment influence performance and retention.

He also holds a master’s degree in health psychology from Methodist University of São Paulo, along with certifications in Advanced Leadership and Change Management from the London School of Business and Finance and PROSCI certification in Change Management.

Dr. Chiuzi’s academic background is complemented by over 15 years of practical experience as a management consultant for organizations across North America, Europe, and South America.

He has advised Fortune 500 companies and public institutions on leadership succession, organizational design, and change management initiatives that align people strategy with business performance.

His consulting work focuses on helping organizations navigate transformation by fostering trust, collaboration, and psychological safety within teams.

Dr. Chiuzi is a published author and researcher in the fields of organizational behaviour, human resources, and leadership development. His work has contributed to the advancement of leadership identity theory and the understanding of behavioural dynamics in complex environments.

He is also a two-time TEDx speaker, recognized for translating scientific research into practical tools that leaders can apply to inspire performance and engagement.

As a member of the University of Toronto Mississauga Campus Council and vice-chair of the Campus Affairs Committee, Dr. Chiuzi contributes to governance, academic policy, and institutional development within the university.

He regularly delivers sessions for corporations, universities, and associations worldwide on leadership, change management, and human behaviour in the workplace.

Dr. Rafael Chiuzi’s teaching and consulting are grounded in evidence-based practice, bridging the gap between academic research and real-world business application.

He has become a trusted voice in organizational psychology and leadership development, offering actionable insights for teams and leaders adapting to the modern workplace.

I had the opportunity to work with Dr Rafael Chiuzi for about two years, during a talent training program at Itaú bank. Rafael helped us to better think about our careers, giving us advice and making us reflect on how to build our map of professional goals. Dr Rafael Chiuzi is a very competent professional, has great skills to deal with people, good communication and has great competence for career guidance. He is one of the better professionals that I worked with.

Dr Rafael Chiuzi was my executive coach in the talent management program sponsored by Sabesp (The largest Sanitation Company in Brazil). Rafael displayed a lot of knowledge during our interactions in the executive coaching process. He demonstrated competence in bringing up sensitive issues without being rude, and most important: always had the ability and respect to talk about professional situations in that I used to have difficulties. Particularly, I will never forget how he actively helped me realize my career priorities and set the goals for my professional future. To summarize, I would not hesitate if I had the opportunity to work with him again.

Daliana Lucena

Manager
Sabesp

I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting Rafael during a Leadership Development Programme in London. What struck me about Rafael, was his deep passion for psychology and how this can be applied in a meaningful way to bring about changes for aspiring leaders. We had many insightful conversations about some of the pitfalls of psychological theory as well as what contemporary (positive) psychology can offer leadership development programmes. Dr Rafael Chiuzi has huge amounts of academic and practical input to these kinds of conversations.
