#12/ 2: Professor Lea Waters on the power of positive psychology and how we can implement aspects into our personal and business life

Professor Lea Waters - a brave, vulnerable and strong women
who shows that our personal story has so much power if we
dare to share it with the world.  


 


Lea Waters is a psychology researcher, speaker and bestseller
author. She’s one of the world’s leading experts on Positive
Education and Positive Organizations. Lea is the president of
the International Positive Psychology Association. Her work
has been featured in The Wall Street
Journal, The Guardian, The Washington
Post, and so on. 


I have been a fan of Lea since I saw her on the TEDx stage in
Melbourne, Australia in 2015. 


 


As a researcher, Lea talks “facts” and backs up her statements
with research. We talk about very personal aspects of Lea´s life,
her breakdown, how she got back on her feed and how she now
inspires thousands of people with her talks, programs and books.
She also gives us very specific tips on how to live a life with a
focus on the good things. And guess what… those good things will
expand if we do so. 


There is so much wisdom in this 50 mins conversation. (Split into
two parts) Don´t miss out on that!


 


In the interview we talk about:


How we can raise our consciousness as a whole nation (and why
this is SO needed!) 

Why companies have a moral obligation to create a ‘culture of
well-being’

How we become our "best self" and why this will lift the
quality of our relationships. 

How and why a change in our focus will improve the quality of
your life. 

The concrete benefit of gratitude at work and why many
organizations still underestimate it.

What ‘impression management’ is and how we can stop wasting
our mental real estate on that 

The relation between strengths-based parenting and creating a
healthier and happier workplace 

Lea´s book ‘The strengths switch’ and why this is absolutely
not only a parenting book ;-) 






And so much more….


This interview is full of vulnerability, research findings and
great, specific business advice.
