WORKSHOPS AND ONLINE COURSES

Do you love to learn? Do you enjoy challenging yourself with personal growth? Me too! And, I also love to teach. I have found nothing more powerful than what I’ve learned from the field of Positive Psychology and Happiness Studies and I’m excited to share it with you. What you’ll learn in my courses can be applied to your personal, family and professional life. I’ll be launching new courses annually so check back for the latest offering.

COURSES

Pathways to Happiness

Growing evidence shows us that happy people enjoy better health, are more generous, more socially engaged, and typically experience more success in life.   You deserve every opportunity to learn about the science of happiness and to implement research based practices into your daily routine.
 
In Pathways to Happiness, you will learn strategies to help reduce and manage stress, tap into the mind-body connection, cultivate positive emotions, identify and capitalize on your unique set of character strengths, build resilience and grounded optimism and make lasting, meaningful change in your life. 
 
In this course, I draw primarily from the fields of Positive Psychology and Happiness Studies. Positive Psychology is the study of what goes well in human beings.  What makes us flourish. It is the scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive.  The focus is on building on what goes right rather than fixing what is wrong.  
 
Happiness Studies is an interdisciplinary field that brings together what psychology has to say about happiness with what philosophy, economics, literature, and biology also have to say about living the “good life”.  
 
Remember, knowledge is potential power.  The real power is in your choice to do something with it. Participants are encouraged to experiment with all of the strategies and evaluate which ones are most effective for them. There are many pathways to happiness.  Which ones will you take?
 
*Automated course includes 9 modules, videos, practical application exercises, and resources.
*Additional support in our private Pathways to Happiness community. Learn from and share with others who are taking or have completed the course.
