Apologies for cross posting There are still some places available on the following NoWAL course 18/06/2008 Think yourself happy: happiness, inspiration and motivation 10:00 - 16:30 University of Liverpool - Taylor Room, Sydney Jones Library Tutor: Deborah Dalley Book a place on this course http://www.nowal.ac.uk/general_programme.php?action=view&sql_id=34 Charges NoWAL Members: £75 External Delegates: £100 ‘Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action’ Benjamin Disraeli ‘Happiness is a choice that requires effort at all times’ Anon For many people being happy and motivated at work is a basic essential of life but how much effort do we put in to achieving this? Historically psychologists have concerned themselves with things that make people unhappy - for every 100 psychology papers dealing with anxiety and depression there is only one dealing with positive traits. This workshop is designed to help participants develop an understanding of what happiness is and to explore ways to increase their personal happiness and motivation. Objectives: At the end of the day participants will have: Examined the difference between happiness and pleasure Discussed how closely happiness is connected to values and belief Explored whether we can increase our happiness level Identified the key things that motivate us to work Developed an action plan for positive living Who Should Attend? Anyone who is interested in increasing their personal happiness and motivation. Comments from previous attendees "Really enjoyed this course. Left feeling motivated and inspired to “do something useful” with my life. Almost a life changing course!!! Highly recommended!" "The course was different to any previous NoWAL course I have attended, but I still felt that it was relevant to my current job role. I found it very useful to assess how the level of happiness/satisfaction at work or in other aspects of my life can impact on my overall well-being. It was particularly constructive for me to be able to break long-term plans into small manageable – and achievable –steps. It was also interesting to find that doing one or two things differently each week can increase my levels of well-being significantly." "Great course, inspirational and motivational (as it’s intended to be) & useful in helping me to reflect on where I’d like to head in my career and life in general, and most of all, what I’d like to achieve before my time’s up!" "I thoroughly enjoyed the day. It made me feel much more positive about myself, making me think about levels of happiness and I think Deborah Dalley is an excellent trainer" Book a place on this course http://www.nowal.ac.uk/general_programme.php?action=view&sql_id=34 If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
