The science of happiness
"I'll be happy once <I get this done/I get a promotion/I change job/I buy a new car/etc >". How many times have you said something like this? We think happiness comes from success, but science has proven that it's the other way around: being happy makes us successful.
Happiness has huge benefits on most aspects of our lives, including the professional one.
So how can we be happy? Well, turns out we can quite easily "trick" our brain into being happy(er). Let me tell you how, and how I apply these concepts in my day to day work with my team

A presentation on how to increase happiness and overall well-being - given at Navitas English Brisbane on 2nd of September 2016 in conjunction with RUOK Day.
Psychological Safety can make or break a team. To drive culture change people must feel safe to speak up and share their best ideas. Collective trust allows organizational development and accelerates teamwork and leadership.
What is positive psychology. How and why should you implement positive psychology based interventions in the workplace. Discover here how these contribute to employee well-being. These slides were the basis for the discussion at the Metal Health and Well-being Seminar hosted by The Conference Board.
Positive psychology is a revolutionary new field that studies the root causes of happiness, productivity, and success. In this program, you’ll have an opportunity to practice proven techniques to:
Consciously direct your thoughts towards creative, adaptive, constructive behaviors
Communicate to build relationships and motivate colleagues and staff
Shift conversations from problems to solutions
Take risks to increase energy and revitalize the workday
Gratitude is one of the sure ways to increase your feelings of happiness. But gratitude practices are not one size fits all. Finally a way to identify a gratitude practice that fits your personality type - based on the Meyer-Briggs personality types.

A presentation on the science of Positive Psychology and how we can use 7 secrets strategies derived from this science to increase our happiness and longevity.
Many people working in academia find it difficult to achieve or maintain a good work-life balance. This talk goes into the reasons for this, the consequences of working too much, the benefits of having the right balance, and ways of achieving a better balance. The talk is very much based on my personal views and experiences, but I hope there is some interest in sharing these

APS Positive Psychology Workshop - June 2019Jo Mitchell
This workshop covers some basic principles from positive psychology theory and research, using real-life examples of how positive psychology has been incorporated into a range of health and wellbeing settings and services. Examples include a national sporting organisation, a private psychology practice, a community group, and a charitable social enterprise. Explore how the learnings from wellbeing science can be applied in a whole systems approach - from working with individuals and groups to organisational processes and design.
Since the launch of the positive psychology movement in 1999 the field has come a long way. Positive psychology has both flourished and struggled as a consequence of its popular appeal. This workshop is an opportunity to look at how the science and application have been brought to life in a variety of Australian contexts including health, sport, and community through organisations such as AFL Players Association, Action for Happiness, Band4Hope and The Mind Room.
The workshop will provide real-world examples of positive psychology in action, and allow time for personal reflection, group discussion and trying out some of the applications. Participants will also be able to develop and/or share their own ideas on how positive psychology could (or does) inform practice in their own home, workplace or community.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Understand a range of ways in which “positive psychology” principles have been applied in the community.
2. Awareness of the limitations and opportunities provided by the field of positive psychology.
3. Be able to identify and develop positive psychology applications suitable for your own work or personal context.
Most teams need to answer questions like “When will it be done? What can I get by date X?”. However, common estimation approaches often fail to give us the predictability we want, and tend to introduce bad behaviours like hard deadlines and hiding uncertainty.
In this session, I’ll show you how, step by step and with real life examples, my team uses their historical data and metrics to forecast the future and answer these questions with confidence.

Kanban Metrics in practice for leading Continuous ImprovementMattia Battiston
Why should I bother collecting metrics? How can they help me? My CFD is pretty and colourful, but what is it actually trying to tell me?
CFD, control chart, lead time distribution, percentiles...Metrics can be daunting to start with but if you know how to interpret them they can drive continuous improvement and forecast the future and take your Kanban system to the next level! It’s much easier than you think, no need for complex maths or expensive software.
At Sky Network Services a few teams are using Kanban and metrics. In this talk I’ll share our experience: what metrics we use, how we use each one of them, what little data we collect to get a whole lot of value, what pitfalls we encountered.

We like the architecture of our applications to revolve around the business logic, not around technical details (and especially not around the database).
In my team at Sky Network Services we use the Clean Architecture and it has given us a great deal of benefits: the business logic is explicit, we are free to change our technical decisions, the app is easy to test, working on it is faster and scalable, it’s hard to do the wrong thing, and many more.
But it comes at a cost, of course. In this talk I’ll tell you the story of our experience with Clean Architecture and give you some tips to get the most out of it.

24. What I’ve learnt
● Happiness leads to success, not the other way
around
● Happiness has a massive impact at work,
for yourself and the whole team
● Train your mind to be happy(er),
change the lens through which you see the world
25. “ We're finding that it's not necessarily the reality that
shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views
the world that shapes your reality.
And if we can change the lens, not only can we change
your happiness, we can change every single
educational and business outcome at the same time ”
