Wednesday, January 18, 2017 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Shift+ 360 is a narrative 360 approach used by executive and leadership coaches. This approach is grounded in positive psychology and focuses on engaging the client’s “people system” throughout the change process. Positive psychology is the study of human strengths and well-being which employs proven methods to promote the flourishing of people, organizations, and communities. The client’s “people system” is the group of people who participate in the 360 and become allies in the client’s change. Learn about this process and the training that is coming to DC in Feb, 2017! RSVP here.
