As one of the first 150 people in the world to graduate from the Master of Applied Positive Psychology Program at University of Pennsylvania, I'm deeply passionate about helping individuals and organizations flourish. Led by renowned psychologist, Dr. Martin Seligman, the MAPP program is a one-of-a-kind Ivy League curriculum which offers in-depth study of the science & application of well-being. For over a decade, I've applied my education through teaching leaders & employees empirically-validated, cognitive-behavioral skills, mindfulness techniques and positive psychology applications that foster resilience to stress, prevent burnout, improve performance, and increase overall well-being. I've worked with organizations such as GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Navy Special Warfare, Colorado Public Defenders, the Wharton Business School, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Weather Service, and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute -- as well as various businesses and non-profits around the globe.Additionally, my education and professional background extend to the fields of cognitive neuroscience and mindfulness. I specialize in delivering engaging and interactive workshops and webinars on the topics of: Resilience, Mindfulness, Psychological Safety, Stress Management, Burnout, Strengths-Based Leadership, Employee Engagement, Emotional Intelligence, Cultivating a Growth Mindset, Training Your Brain for Stress and Success, Change Management, Pursuing Positive Leadership, and Enhancing Energy at Work through Positive Health Practices. I also provide highly-customized trainings to meet each client’s needs. Additionally, I consult with organizations to help them cultivate workplace practices, policies and cultures that facilitate well-being across all levels of the organization.On a more personal note, I'm a photographer (www.agoodcamera.com) and a bit of a world traveler -- at 63 countries and counting. I also love mountains, gelato and vintage VWs. My top character strengths are: love, leadership, perspective, judgment/critical thinking and zest. Find out what yours are at viame.org.
