This course will deepen each participant’s sophistication in applying positive psychological theory and research to their coaching practice. Although we focus on positive psychology as a lens for coaching, we also attend to core coaching skills, such as ethical decision-making and coaching presence.
You can access this course and the associated materials until April 1, 2024.
