2018 Annual Conference Optional Activity - Workshop with Caroline Adams Miller (CPD 3 Hrs)

One of the most common misconceptions about goal-setting is that success drives well-being, even though research conclusively shows that people only succeed with their goals after they are flourishing first.  

In this workshop, Caroline Adams Miller will share some of the most important findings from Positive Psychology about what "wise interventions" are most likely to create well-being and how people can maximize their ability to flourish, including the identification and use of character strengths.  Caroline will help participants understand how to use their own strengths effectively to succeed with their goals, including how the overuse and underuse of those same strengths can become weaknesses.

Caroline will also unpack goal-setting theory to help participants understand why SMART goals might not actually be very smart, and how to create an effective plan of action that will include how to identify positive relationships, why one's environment can help or hurt goal pursuit, and how the creation of a resilient mindset can make a difference.

Audience takeaways will include:

1.    How to understand and use one's VIA Character Strength profile, and how to spot strengths in others
2.    How to differentiate between learning goals and performance goals, and how mixing them up can cause personal and business disasters
3.    Why "challenging and specific" goals always create the best outcomes and also build authentic self-esteem
4.    Which worksheets can be effectively used to create comprehensive goal plans that also have positive emotional outcomes
5.    Which "wise interventions" can create contagious positive environments
6.    How to identify the signs of a positive relationship and which behaviors are likely to derail progress
7.    How to "prime" one's environment to maximize one's chances of succeeding
