Podcast: |
Dr Happy is an internationally renowned leader in the field of Positive Psychology. He’s a sought after Speaker and Facilitator, Consultant and Coach, Podcaster and Best Selling Author, Spokesperson and Brand Ambassador.
Dr. Sharp has three degrees in psychology (including a Ph.D.) and established and ran one of Sydney’s most respected clinical psychology practices, a highly regarded Executive Coaching practice, and is the founder & CHO (Chief Happiness Officer) of The Happiness Institute, Australia’s first organisation devoted solely to enhancing happiness in individuals, families and organisations.
I’ve known Tim for over two years now and I’m truly intrigued and inspired by his constant acts of kindness and grateful presence, which we dive into in this chat.
Whilst it may seem like all we’re going to talk about is happiness, that’s far from the truth. Parts of this chat end up being like a great coaching session to help us understand powerful mindsets and powerful tools and strategies to help us enhance our lives, even when we’re already extremely optimistic lovers of life.
In this episode you will learn;
- How to know when to focus on the journey and when to focus on the end goal.
- What happiness actually is.
- More tools on how to turn your adversity into your advantage
- The most important thing we can instil in ourselves and in others to overcome tough life challenges
- And Tim’s 6 step philosophy to choose everyday, to enhance your trajectory towards success AND happiness.
I wanted take this opportunity to say that I truly am grateful for all the people who have taken the time and effort to email me directly or through social media and tell me what value this podcast is bringing to their lives.
That’s my main mission, to continually provide you with an abundance of value, so your feedback is super important. And a special shout out to a listener in Bahrain can you believe it, who wrote a review on iTunes that says: Each episode that I listen to, I proclaim that it’s my favourite. Then I go back and listen to older episodes and proclaim that that was my favourite!! I gain inspiration, information and enlightenment from each episode. I really appreciate how there is practical advice on the action we can take and implement in our lives!
That’s from Caity J who said she’s actually an Australian living in Bahrain.
Thank You so much Caity, that’s awesome to hear and humbling to feel. You’re a legend for providing that feedback!
