In this workshop, Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener-- the pioneer of positive psychology coaching-- will introduce more "organic" ways to use strengths within coaching. He will draw upon his scholarship in strengths spotting and strengths development to help participants learn practical skills that they can immediately employ.
