As learning and development practitioners, we’ve always believed in the concept of Lifelong Learning, but we now have the scientific evidence. Our values and research are in tandem as never before.

In these stimulating times, a new body of research has emerged. Shirzad Chamine, a Stanford Professor and CEO of Positive Intelligence®, and his team have brought together: Positive Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Performance Science and Neuroscience to create a new model and programme. Shirzad’s research into the principles of Positive Intelligence® has included [...] some 400,000 participants from 50 countries...
