Power of Positive Psychology

In my never ending quest to be a fabulously successful and effective business/leadership coach , as well as quench my love of learning, I recently completed a very enjoyable,enlightening and educative 3 day workshop with Dr Tim Sharp, Chief Happiness Officer of the Happiness Institute ( and Professor at UTS, Sydney) .The workshop was titled Positive Psychology Coaching and highlighted to importance of promoting optimism, happiness and fun in the workplace as a means of enhancing productivity, retention of staff and reducing workplace stress.
Tim is a clinical psychologist who started to question why we put up with just surviving , rather than thriving at work and life.Do you have fun at work? If so how? Would you like to be happier? Why?
