About Positive Psychology
Martin Seligman, made famous the term Positive Psychology, which was coined by Abraham Maslow in 1954. It looks at what is right with us, and builds upon it with scientific research. It’s how we define, measure and build our well-being. Being positive does not mean being happy all the time or feeling good every minute. Human lives are affected by both positive and negative circumstances and events, but thanks to the Positive Psychology movement, we can all find ways to approach life with additional research, tools and interventions to bring out the best in ourselves and in our world. The best way to experience positive psychology is to live it. The study of human flourishing is subjective, and you and your organization are unique. Positive Psychology researchers provide the science that influences human flourishing by identifying what works for some people and some organizations, some of the time. We bring life to the science and identify what works for you and your organization, so you don’t have to.
Assessing Positive Psychology and the Strengths Profile
One of the best ways to recognize strengths in your organization is to think about how good your people feel, how often they feel that way and what processes are happening during those times. Being aware of what strengths are available to your people and how you can make the most of them enables your organization to change the trajectory of daily tasks, weekly projects and yearly targets. Strengths tell you the direction to take, give you the drive to stay on course and determine the result. Created by Alex Linley at Cappfinity, the Strengths Profile is a unique assessment of your strengths. It is the only strengths tool that measures performance, use and energy.
