POSITIVE PYSCHOLOGY
Positive Psychology Coaching is a dynamic new way to work with clients that blends the virtues of cutting edge science and the appeal of a positive strengths-based focus, with the effectiveness of coaching. Positive psychology is not naïve positivity or a promise of permanent bliss. Rather, positive psychology is the careful study of happiness, optimism, success, creativity, and other aspects of human flourishing.
You don't need a PhD to understand it, however, and this engaging course will help you translate basic research into powerful interventions for you and your clients.
Perhaps best of all, positive psychology can be easily integrated into any existing coaching practice and used effectively by anyone.
