"Positive Psychology and Coaching" course

In January 2013, I launched a four-week online educational class through the Ruzuku platform to teach a comprehensive, evidence-based and experiential class on how to both increase your emotional flourishing and achieve the most meaningful goals possible.  Most courses lack scientific rigor, or focus on the old-school "SMART" goal approach.  This leaves out the most cutting-edge research from Positive Psychology and other scientific theories, some of which I cover in "Creating Your Best Life."  Cohorts start throughout the year so check <a href="http://www.carolinemiller.com">www.carolinemiller.com</a> for current information.

Presenter- International Happiness Day

I taught the highly-acclaimed Positive Psychology course in the executive coaching credential program for six years.  Sample testimonials include, " I want to thank you again as your course was possibly the best I have taken in a couple decades," "The course is a great introduction to the field of positive psychology and I personally love the fact that Caroline is so “evidence-based” in her approach. The content is intellectually stimulating and personally applicable. In fact I find it fun. Truthfully, the course has to potential to be transformative both personally and professionally," and "Caroline’s energetic teaching style is the perfect compliment to the useful and sometimes amazing material she presents in this fast-paced course."

Former faculty at University of Texas - Dallas Executive Management School

I accepted the challenge from Sterling Publishing in early 2008 to turn my Capstone from the MAPP program at the University of Pennsylvania into the first mass-market book that connects the science of happiness with the science of goal accomplishment.  It came out in early 2009 to rave reviews everywhere, and has sold out repeatedly and been published in paperback and foreign languages.
