About This Course
You have hope. We all do. It is one of those things that scientists have discovered resides in you, innately, unconsciously. It's a powerful strength that you can nurture to create new, positive thoughts about any challenges you might face.
You might already be adept at recognizing the silver lining in small everyday "challenges", but how does your hope hold up during big transitions?
This course will help you leverage your strength of hope, and all of your other character strengths, during times of transition and change (for example, a change in employment or relationship status; retirement; etc.). You'll explore how your strengths can help you face challenges with confidence and emerge happier, more self-aware and more resilient. Use the lessons learned now and use them to prepare for future challenges that may come your way.
