Synopsis of Presentation: Participants learn how and why Positive Psychology developed and how it is the "New Psychology", a holistically focused empowering intervention that asks "What's right with you" rather than "What's wrong?" It teaches us how to lift our baselines of happiness to enduring levels, buffer against depression with fear busting techniques, and break old patterns of thinking, feeling and inaction. Happiness Coaching in Positive Psychology aims to enliven us with dozens of tools that can really point us to our potential, away from our perceived "story". It helps us recognise and change limiting beliefs that keep us from getting into our purpose and passions. Participants learn how the brain works in basic terms, and how we can become the director of our thinking, not the audience, for greater achievement and life satisfaction. Who Should Attend: This is for people, and workplaces that want to be authentically happy, not just "happy enough". Participants learn how to raise their baselines of happiness to enduring levels, these are not "quick fix techniques". How you will benefit:
Classification: Health, Wellness, Motivation, Change Management Testimonials:

“The feedback has been fantastic! Susan’s work and information are very valuable. The attendees loved the laughter therapy and positive psychology equally. We are all up against a lot of ingrained negativity every day and the stuff she provides in her sessions needs to be reinforced regularly.”
