Positive Psychology for Coaches, How to Use the Science of Well-Being to Help Your Clients Flourish

What if you discovered that using your strengths would make your weaknesses irrelevant?

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of wellbeing. Founded ten years ago by psychologist Martin Seligman, this emerging field studies the mechanisms and tools that enable individuals and groups to flourish. Positive Psychology distinguishes itself from clinical psychology, which has traditionally focused on healing mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, and other pathologies. Rather than fixing what is wrong with an individual, positive psychology aims to promote and strengthen what is right in non-clinical populations. While the talk will include a brief introduction to the scientific and philosophical foundations of the field, it will primarily consist of several hands-on, interactive exercises that coaches can use with their own clients. Applications and techniques for both personal and business coaching will be covered.
