Organisations

Research has shown that four distinct factors drive performance in the workplace:

• An ability to work to people’s strengths, driving engagement
• An understanding of your personal physical, mental and emotional positive energy
• Resilience and the ability to cope under pressure, to handle difficult and negative situations and retain a sense of optimism and hope
• High quality connections across the workplace, socially and professionally

This is ‘positive organisational psychology’ and there has never been a more important time in business to pay attention to engaging, motivating and retaining your best people. We will work with you to create bespoke solutions that fit your environment, staff and particular context. To give you an idea of what we do, in the last year we have worked with our clients to:

• Understand how to develop resilient skills and imbue staff with a sense of hope, strength and optimism
• Develop strengths based appraisals and performance management approaches
• Update and refresh managers coaching skills with a Strengths based coaching approach
• Run a leadership coaching initiative focusing on personal energy
• As part of a broader strategic initiative, imbue a culture change programme with a positive direction

Speaking Events and Master Classes

We also run 60 minute master classes for organisations and Lucy is a keynote speaker at events across Europe. Recent themes that have interested delegates include:

• The Science of Happiness – what it is and how to get it
• The 6 ‘C’s of developing Organisational Resilience
• The Butterfly in the Boardroom – building high performance teams
• ‘Serious Times require Serious Solutions’ – what use is positive psychology?
• Positive Psychology and Selling

“I have finally got to the end of the feedback forms and it is very clear that your session was a major hit with the delegates. I think the whole positive psychology approach clearly struck a chord with a lot of people and meant a lot to them. Personally I thought you  did a brilliant job.  I loved the energy and the mix of personal and theoretical…”

 

“It's only now that we realise what a difference the resilience training is making to us. Personally and professionally we're shifting from a 'survival' mentality to a 'thriving' organisation with purpose.”

“"I expected cynicism but I have found that tough, intelligent people who would potentially challenge this quite hard, have drunk it in.”

“It might sound obvious but happier people are more productive people...when you count the time an HR team can spend on discipline and grievance, unproductive time with unhappy people, unhappy with their relationships at work and unhappy with the trust, there is no doubt in my mind of the value of this approach.”
