What did you choose the Diploma of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing?
I was completely burnt out after COVID-19 and found the trainees I was supervising in the same position. I wanted to gain some skills to improve my workplace performance and learn new skills to pass on to my trainees. I aspired to get some real hands-on experience and evidence-based knowledge on how to do this.
How was your experience of the course?
I loved the lecture week so much. I completely immersed myself in this experience and bonded with all these other wonderful people from different industries who had the same needs.
How are you spreading your positive ripples?
"Overall, the Diploma has changed my perspective on work and home life. I am looking for the small wins and daily positives around me, which have improved everything."
I now incorporate positive psychology into my feedback sessions in my work with trainees and look for positive feedback and strengths-based skills instead of negative feedback. I have shared my knowledge with other colleagues, and three have signed up to date. I have also learnt better ways to be positive around my children and can see the ripples in their lives as well.
