II. Mental Agility: The Flourishing Mindset

This critical resource, our mental capability, is often misunderstood. In both professional and personal domains of life, much of happiness, satisfaction, and our ability to deal with adversity is dependent on our mental abilities. This workshop teaches participants on exactly what these abilities are and how to use them to flourish in all domains
of life resulting in true mental health and not just the absence of mental illness.

The session explores the differences between traditional perspectives of change and contrasts these with views stemming from positive psychology in organizations, highlighting 11 key differences between the two. The session also explores the dynamics of individual change, and how organizations can shift from a deficit-based management culture, to a strengths-based movement.
