Positive Coaching Psychology

The changing nature of work has increased the demand for human capacity, taxing individuals' inner resources (i.e., motivation, attention, and resilience.) Positive Coaching Psychology (PCP) helps individuals increase well-being, enhance and apply strengths, improve performance, and achieve personal and professional goals. In this course, students learn key psychological theories and concepts that are applied to the practice of Positive Coaching Psychology and use them to grow and develop themselves and others. This course uses seminars, group activities, reflection assignments, and final projects to help students bridge theory and practice and gain the skills, knowledge, and competencies to become more effective managers and leaders.

This class will have a significant online component, with some class meetings conducted via Zoom and learning activities conducted through Canvas. The faculty will offer alternative assignments if conditions or illness prevent students from accessing our synchronous meetings, which will allow students to earn comparable credit.
