Positive Psychology Coaching: Fundamentals

This course covers the essential evidence-based skills and concepts of Positive Psychology Coaching as well as the CHANGE model for structuring successful coaching engagements. The course includes lectures, coaching demonstrations and discussions, and peer-coaching sessions. This program connects a wealth of positive psychology research to the practical skills students can use to help clients, colleagues, and others successfully make positive changes in their lives, work, health, and relationships.
The course includes a weekly prerecorded lesson with Lynda Wallace, where you are introduced to key concepts of using positive psychology in coaching sessions. Each lecture is then followed by a live webinar with rotating faculty. This is where you get to see the key concepts in action, with demonstrations and a chance to practice the skills yourself. After the first week, peer-coaching pairs are formed to give students the opportunity to practice the skills they are learning.
