Positive Psychology & Coaching

Positive Psychology & Coaching: Mike Cockburn, MD of Sogno will deliver two sessions in this masterclass focusing on using Positive Psychology & Coaching techniques in your Business. These sessions are relevant to any business leader from start-ups to established SMEs interested in applying new techniques to drive their business forward & navigate change.

Session 1: Developing Corporate Resilience through Positive Psychology

Mike will be exploring how positive psychology concepts can strengthen corporate resilience. We live in a period of rapid and unpredictable change that is creating unprecedented pressures on organisations. In this environment, conventional responses to change have often proved to be ineffective. Positive psychology offers some creative alternatives that you can look to apply in your own organisation.

From this session, you will gain:

• Deeper appreciation of what drives change
• Exploration of how conventional organisations are conditioned to respond
• Reflection on your personal resilience and how to build your resources
• An appreciation of how positive psychology can make a difference for individuals and their organisations
