Hi all,
In another thread, Julie Harvey's presenter suggestion on well-being and happiness prompted me to post on a related topic. I'm a big believer in positive leadership and have attended a few conferences on the topic. I'm planning to go a step further and obtain a positive leadership certificate. I've listed the training below to give you a sense of what it includes. There are other similar trainings out there.
