Positive Difference assists leaders to create more positive work environments by empowering them and their staff with affordable access to comprehensive, professional training in the scientific principles and practical strategies embraced by the most engaged and resilient individuals, the most positive and productive teams, and the most sustainably purposeful organisations.
The Short Course in Positive Leadership will both affirm and challenge you as you reflect upon how you can become a more positively effective leader. On completion of the course, you can expect to be well equipped with exciting new knowledge, empowering practical strategies, and an invigorated sense of purpose and passion as a positive leader. More important than being an expert, you will be an example that others will want to follow.
