Kurt Shuster presents: "Positive Psychology for Coaches"
- How to use the science of well being to help your clients flourish. -
Positive Psychology is the scientific study of well-being, examining the mechanisms and tools that enable individuals and groups to flourish. Rather than focusing on fixing what is wrong with an individual, positive psychology aims to promote and strengthen what is right in non-clinical populations.
While presentation will include a brief introduction to the scientific and philosophical foundations of the field, its main focus will consist of several examples of practical interactive exercises that coaches can use with their own clients. Applications and techniques for both individual and corporate coaching will be covered.
Featuring: Kurt Shuster, co-founder and CEO of Noomi.com, a web-based life coaching system Before founding Noomi, Kurt served as Director of Technology for UK-based start-up Tristart Limited, where he managed the company’s technology and business development. An expert in cognitive science and artificial intelligence (AI), he has designed AI systems for corporate and government agencies such as Electronic Arts and NASA. Kurt holds a B.Sc (honours) in Psychology from the University of Victoria, a B.Sc (honours) in Computer Science from Queen’s University, and an MBA from Cambridge University. He is currently enrolled in the Masters of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania.
