Week 4 Assignment 4 - Positive psychology is the study

4.4 Assignment. Summary and Thank You. Recapping Your Curiosity Conversation

Getting Started

Positive psychology is the study of what makes life worth living. Life coaching is a way to support people in achieving their goals and their potential. Incorporating positive psychology in life coaching has been promoted by such experts as Dr. Robert Biswas-Deiner, Dr. Martin Seligman, Barbara Fredrickson, and others as a natural fit so that coaches focus on and help clients enhance their strengths, happiness, and pleasure. When clients gain a better understanding of their individual traits, they can use that understanding to not only better themselves, but also their workplace, family life, communities, and beyond!

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

· Summarize your curiosity conversation.

· Write a thank-you note to your curiosity conversation interviewee(s).

Background Information

As a culmination of your curiosity conversation, you will write a summary, as well as a thank-you note to your interviewee(s). When professionals or other individuals give their time, you are well advised to always send them a thank-you card or letter to let them know how much you appreciated their willingness to share some of their valuable time with you, as well as to acknowledge their value to your education and continuing knowledge. Not only that, but you never know how much a thank-you note could contribute to some future endeavor that the individuals who receive them might reciprocate in some way! Planting such networking seeds can sometimes make a huge difference!
