I'd be interested in talking -there could be links with what I want to do also. Still trying to focus in , but I want to develop something I can use with leaders and teams in workshop and coaching.

I've been busy discussing my disseration ideas with my best school contact and they are very excited about my initial ideas. Good to know that the support may be out there to work together to facilitate change in education. Getting excited. I have an exciting summer of reading to begin to narrow down my ideas. Bring it on!

I'm not too sure what to focus on for my dissertation yet, ideas I have are;

-something around loving yourself and by being able to love yourself it increases happiness maybe linking this to confidence as well

-something around intuition and how by using your intuition it increases your wellbeing levels

-resilience intervention programme- something around resilience needed at points in life- specifically, finding love and fertility challenges

I am not really sure at the moment what exactly to focus on, I want to create resilience workshops and wellbeing courses at the end of the course so wondering how I can link this into dissertation

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not quite sure and have a few ideas but know that i want this to be in an organisational setting.

Ideas at the moment include:

1) using Graduates or Apprentices as a pool (typically age of 16 - 24) - what resilience needs they have and could something be applied to help during a change to starting work e.g. a short term intervention, coaching?

2) looking at the 'burn out' roles in an organisation at a senior level that require a lot of resilience, what makes those people and how this can then be incorporated for recruitment. I think this pulls on strengths but interested to see if hope features, goal setting, mental toughness.

I want to look at creativity in organisations. I'm not sure of the exact question but I want to look at what enables organisations (or individuals within organisations) to be creative and what gets in the way of creativity and innovation.

I'm interested in positive psychology and leadership maybe something around a house leadership style with a pp focus or evolving a training programme for middle managers with a pp focus.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm interested to look at:

links between mindfulness/ self-regulation/ positive emotionality in predicting and increasing success in making and sustaining lifestyle changes.

Use of strengths in planning successful lifestyle changes

# data[].attributes.body
I am interested in intervention with leaders to build personal and organisational well being and performance. About how positive emotions and resilience build a leaders' capability to cast a 'hopeful' shadow and create higher engagement and job satisfaction in teams. Thinking that engagement scores will be the key measure, but could also look at other factors such as absence, performance, turnover. Having difficult in framing a question or focus these ideas into a direction as seems so wide. Keen to get feedback and direction. Or I could narrow focus just to working with leaders on their own wellbeing and resilience.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for this. Are there particular aspects of your own practice you might consider focusing on, that you suspect might provide this step? Or a likely way you might link this to an organisational change project? Something that might help focus the beginning of a lit review?

# data[].attributes.body
I am thinking about entrepreneurship and positive psychology. I would be

interested to discover how I could rebuild my own practice

to a more flourishing one,  using PP insights and to reflect on this process as an organisational

change project.

An interesting morning at the MAPP Symposium. I think I'll add Growth Mindset yo my list of ideas to explore in the adolescent cohort I'd like to work with.

Mindfulness in schools - I believe Dr Antony seldon

has introduced mindfulness at Wellington School

you might like to look at this, Kylie

Thanks Marieka, that would be great. Kylie.j.duncan@gmail.com

Good stuff. So, one of the first questions to explore is what exactly you mean by a "WE-Culture"? Have you started to identify some relevant literature on this?

# data[].attributes.body
The topic I would like to research is if and how a "WE-Culture" can increase

personal and organisational resilience. The "WE-culture components" and their effects on resilience I might look into could be:

- Shared values & purpose -> shared meaning

- Shared vision -> shared hope & goals

- Shared strengths -> optimal individual and organisational performance

- Compassionate communication

- Altruistic mindset & behaviour

- Shared decisions

# data[].attributes.body
Sounds really interesting Lisa, and of course we have already spoken a little about this, and possible links with 'How to Thrive' that you are exploring. Keep updating us with how your progress with this?

What kind(s) of intervention might you be thinking about?

Matthew

# data[].attributes.body
Think this is a really interesting area and would be good to chat about anything you have seen working in schools.

Lisa

# data[].attributes.body
I am also interested in kids of secondary school age, especially those with/at risk of low resilience and how hope can impact their ability to thrive - educationally and emotionally. I have had a couple of ideas about how I might create/be part of an intervention that is based on/has roots in the hope theory and researching the impact it has. I am also interested in the role parents play in giving kids hope and what impact an intervention could have.

# data[].attributes.body
Can you say a little more about this Jane? What kinds of labels exactly are you referring to? Can you give an example or two?

Matthew

Hi kylie, sounds interesting! Last week I spoke with the only Dutch Mapp graduate from uel who specialises in happiness in schools. She wrote two books on positive education in Dutch but also sent me her dissertation in English. Let me know if you would like to receive it.

Thank you Kylie! Mindfulness in schools seems to becoming more popular, so I'm sure there would be some case studies worth looking at. Compassion in schools I am less sure of...? Regarding PP and depression: that would be more linked to adults as opposed to teenagers?

Matthew

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of ideas here Chrisitiane! Thank you. All broadly with an organisational focus? Is there one or more of these that you are especially drawn to at this stage?

Matthew

I'm interested in how positive psychology can be used in the teenage cohort in secondary school. I'm particularly interested in how mindfulness and compassion can be taught and affect on school culture. I'm also interested in how PP can be used to treat major depressive disorder.

# data[].attributes.body
my first ideas:

WE-power versus EGO power in organisations - Implications on people, teams & systems

Positive Talent Management & the hidden costs of current TM-Approaches

Positive Culture - Characteristics and impact on organisations and people

Executive Coaching tool for mental agility and resilience

Effective & agile Organisation Design in times of uncertainty and complexity

Reinventing organisations from the view of Positive Psychology

Resilience tool for people and organisations during transition processes
