Balance in life is critical to wellbeing and happiness. We all juggle our passions, obligations, careers and families. If you could use some help prioritizing and laying out a path for the future, Designing your Life is the course that you need!
Innovating from the inside out
Your path toward success and well-being.
On this course you will re-focus and get energized, thinking through your needs and potential in these times of crisis. Founded in the field of positive psychology, this course will help you overcome the anxiety and limitations imposed by COVID-19 and work toward a stronger sense of well-being and purpose.
Today, the notion of ‘life-balance’ that acknowledges the interconnectedness of the different dimensions of our life is entering mainstream thinking like never before. Buoyed by the growth of books on ‘Happiness’ and the study of what contributes towards 'Personal Productivity', this course guides students through that inner journey.
This cutting-edge course bridges the gap between the ‘self-help’ genre of books and the theoretical research by PhDs in psychology.
It will give you the space, structure, support and motivation to answer some very fundamental questions about your passions, strengths, goals, priorities, your comfort zone, key relationships, and your limiting beliefs (yes, everyone has some). Map out your path toward success and well-being!
