Interpreting and Applying the Psychological Skills Profile (PSP)
The Psychological Skills Profile (PSP) is a psychometric assessment that measures 4 broad psychological constructs (Mental Toughness, Intellectual Curiosity, Emotional Intelligence, & Achievement Striving) that have been found to support career success across a wide range of performance domains. Participants learn how to interpret the 16 facets that underpin these psychological skills, and how to provide constructive feedback, as well as career and performance coaching.
Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT) for Coaching
The Cognitive Behavioral approach is a set of scientifically developed techniques used to improve individuals’ motivation, behavior, performance, outcomes and well-being. At the core, Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT) challenge individuals to interrogate their own patterns of thought, how they perceive the social environment, how they come to fix their beliefs, and how they come to make decisions. While CBTs are employed in a wide range of development context, our courses focus on supporting business, career, academic, and athletic success.

Participants will learn and apply techniques based on the most recent advances in the science of resilience, with strong focus on factors that are amenable to targeted development.
Enhancing Creativity Through Paradox Mindset
In this course, participants learn to leverage apparent contradictions in order to break down assumptions, spot hidden connections between diverse ideas, and discover new ways to look at business problems and opportunities. Participants learn to use contradictions and to re-frame everyday work paradoxes such as dual performance requirements (e.g., minimizing costs while maximizing innovation) and resource scarcity (i.e., having to perform at high levels under limited time or financial resources) to fuel creative and divergent thinking.
