What is positive psychology? Positive Psychology is the study of what helps human beings flourish and, as such, it goes hand-in-hand with effective coaching. Positive psychology began to develop in the late 20th Century and was officially recognized, as an area of study, in the late 1990s, when the Father of Positive Psychology, Martin Seligman, then President of the American Psychological Association, made positive psychology the focus of his presidency.  Since then, a flood of research has been done on what thoughts, tools, attitudes, behaviors, and interventions promote well-being and help people flourish.

What is positive psychology coaching? Positive psychology coaches use tools and interventions that have been identified by research into positive psychology and related fields, such as neuroscience, to help their clients achieve greater happiness, well-being, and success. They take research into positive psychology and translate it into effective tools for improving people’s lives, careers, and businesses. Read about positive psychology coaching on the Coaching Blog.

School of Coaching Mastery weaves positive psychology interventions throughout its coach training curriculum. The Certified Positive Psychology Coach Program is for coaches who want advanced training and experience in the art and science of positive psychology coaching.

In one member's own words:

 

"To someone thinking about becoming a positive psychology coach:
 
Positive psychology is a relatively new area of psychology. It is also known as evidence-based psychology, as it is derived from studies of human behavior using scientifically valid methods. Combining this field with the also relatively new field of coaching is a powerful union that enables coaches to work with their clients to set and achieve goals in ways that are highly likely to be successful.
 
The techniques used in positive psychology coaching stem from our expanding knowledge of changing human behavior, which is at the heart of coaching.
 
The broader perspective of positive psychology, as a way to achieve even greater well-being, also aligns very well with coaching in general.
 
I have been learning about and using positive psychology in my coaching practice for the past several years, and it gives me a great sense of professional stability in my work. I also use the techniques in my consulting work with people in job transition. I write a monthly newsletter on careers and workplace behaviors that draws heavily on positive psychology, which is well-received."
