Description:

Research has shown that happiness and positivity lead to success. During this workshop we will answer the question of “what fuels success?” If we work hard, become successful then we will be happy; however, the formula is backwards. If we choose happiness, the brain works better, and we become successful. 

Join this engaging and interactive learning experience on how positive psychology can lead to personal and professional success. We will explore the happiness advantage principles that can help shift our mindset through positive psychology.

Debra Marcusson, Chancellor's Office
