Coaching with Positive Psychology - Foundation Masterclass: Open course with Lucy Ryan, 10-11 June, 2010, Central London
Unique to the UK, a two-day masterclass for coaches, managers, trainers, consultants and teachers who want to understand, and incorporate, positive psychology into their coaching practice or organisation.
“Quite simply, practical and inspiring.”
Introduction
Coaching has been hailed by Martin Seligman as the ‘natural home for positive psychology’ and this highly interactive masterclass, based on two years of research, will show you the opportunities that exist for you to develop your evidence-based coaching portfolio with a range of new scientific assessments and interventions.
“Lucy, thank you so much for the wonderful thoughts and exercises you shared with us during the masterclass in Copenhagen. I have been on courses many many times and you are standing out as a person full of life, wisdom and warmth.”
What will the programme do for you?
By the end of this two day masterclass, you will learn:
-
What ‘positive psychology’ is and where it fits in the coaching arena (the pitfalls as well as the possibilities!);
-
How to ‘brand’ positive psychology and make it relevant to your clients, particularly in the business climate of 2010;
-
An introduction to the six coaching ‘labs’, the scientific assessments and up to 20 different interventions;
-
How other executive coaches have integrated positive psychology into their practice and made it measurable and impactf
“You can go through the mechanics of coaching, but positive psychology – and this programme in particular – add optimism, energy and a sense of fun.”
Content
(A) Positive Psychology and the Coaching Arena
This brief first session will introduce positive psychology, its contribution to coaching and positioning within the coaching arena.
(B) The ‘Branding’ of Positive Psychology
Considerable confusion surrounds the ‘branding’ of positive psychology, with both the apparent simplicity of the interventions belying their positive effect and the perceived emotional language at odds with many environments (particularly business). This second session will demonstrate how to ‘translate’ PP into acceptable ‘speak’ for different clients; market your positive psychology portfolio and ensure it is relevant for the different situations your clients may be facing in 2010.
(C) The Six Foundations, Assessment and Interventions
In this main participative session, we will explore together the content of six foundation ‘labs’ (so called as positive psychology is still in experimentation phase!); the science; the effectiveness of the interventions and how to run the exercises with your clients:
Lab 1: Understanding Positive Foundations (the four routes and four barriers to happiness)
Lab 2: Developing Strengths (including an introduction to the 24 VIA strengths and the use of strengths cards)
Lab 3: Enriching Positive Emotions (putting a language to positive emotions and strengthening our emotional ‘muscles’)
Lab 4: Building Resilience (how to develop a ‘resilience bank’)
Lab 5: Investing in Relationships (the 10 strategies for enhancing your relationships)
Lab 6: Finding a Positive Direction (linking the positive science behind goals; flow, values and motivation).
(D) The effectiveness of Positive Psychology
Clients commonly demand a return on their coaching investment and in this ‘wrap up’ session we will explore the four specific outcomes of the coaching for clients and how this continues to translate into a measurable, positive impact within organisations.
“Positive psychology stimulates action in the individual to progress. Once people place their energy in a good place, they believe they are competent, they enjoy what they’re doing and are motivated to excel.”(Ann Sherrington).
