Benefits of Happiness Coaching

Coaching is an excellent way to attain a certain work behavior that will improve leadership, employee accountability, teamwork, sales, communication, goal setting, strategic planning and more. Business coaching is very common type of coaching. It provides feedback and occasionally advice to individual or group to help them recognize ways in which they can improve the effectiveness of their business.

"Happiness Coaching" has recently become the most popular form of business coaching. Employers hire trainers who draw on psychological research to inspire workers to take a more positive attitude—or at least a neutral one."  Research shows that "Happier people miss work less often and receive more positive evaluations from bosses."

As per the article in wall street journal, Srikumar Rao, an emeritus professor at Long Island University whose training has earned him the nickname, “the happiness guru,” teaches people to stop jumping to conclusions and labeling everything that happens to them either a “bad thing” or a “good thing.” If your job is changed in a corporate reorganization, instead of concluding that’s a bad thing, tell yourself it could be good or bad in the long run, and there is no way to know right away. Keeping a neutral attitude lightens stress, says Dr. Rao. 

Happiness Coaching is a feel good factor medicine, if you are happy you will always be in a good mood. As a result you will not only have higher productivity but also your company will have higher profit and better customer-satisfaction ratings.

A study done by Mayo Clinic shows that happiness leads to healthier and longer life. Happiness coaching helps people endure pain better than people with traditional style of coaching.

Happiness coaching leads to people having less depression, less suicide, and less paranoia , as well as greater self control, coping skills and enhances decision making ability.

I love this idea. I think if the workplace is a positive environment and great place to work the company wins 1000 fold. I would love to learn more about this concept.
