Putting Positive Psychology to Work
Positive psychology is the scientific study of optimal human functioning, in other words, what we’re doing when we’re performing at our best. It covers subjects as diverse as engagement, optimism, confidence, resilience, strengths, relationships and mindsets. Positive psychology is naturally a subject of great interest to people personally, and to organisations who want to maintain a healthy and engaged workforce. This can be a real challenge for organisational leaders and managers, especially in times of change.
Whether your organisation is anticipating change, in the middle of a restructuring programme, or emerging at the other end of a long transformation process, the chances are that your team’s commitment, engagement and resilience are being tested to the limit. Or perhaps you work in a sector which is currently expanding, and which needs to ensure that its people are ready and willing to take on new challenges.
Whatever the circumstances, how do you create and maintain the energy, enthusiasm and passion in your team that your organisation needs to be successful? How do you, as a leader or manager, inspire and motivate your people if they’re feeling stressed, worn-out, or unsure about the future?
This is where Workmad can help: we provide bespoke training and coaching in Positive Psychology and its applications to organisations in both public and private sectors, and to individuals.
