What makes you “special” in the best sense of the word? What characteristics and qualities can we use to discover ourselves as people? And how can we use these strengths to stay healthy and contribute to society, even in challenging times?

As the “science of a successful life”, positive psychology looks less at “what strengths” and more at enduring qualities in people. In this one-day seminar, you will learn about the research and theory of character strengths. In practical exercises and in close exchange with other participants, we will identify individual strengths and ideas for incorporating them into work and everyday life.

Contents:

• Introduction to positive psychology and the importance of character strengths
• Identification of individual strengths using recognized test procedures
• Development of strategies to utilize and promote personal strengths
