The time came, and the day started...…Boom! Here was Dr Andy (Amazing) Cope. Who took us on a thought provoking, inspirational, humorous, and at times touching joy ride. Recognising the absurdity of the world we live in today but remembering all the great things you started out in life with. I could have stayed all day and night, interacting, and having thought provoking fun. I can see why everyone clambered to return; it was first class!! (And I'm not being paid to say that). I returned home with (a free) book, to which I have been lording around the house, reading it aloud like a Shakespearian thespian, to my highly impressed wife - and I don't even read books! (I'm more of an audible chap). The Art of Being Brilliant’ provides an antidote to the crazy world that typifies modern Britain. This workshop uses cutting edge research to explore how you can be you, brilliantly. The aim is to share some of the ‘secrets’ of Positive Psychology, focusing on learning new habits of thinking and behaviour that will sustain personal ‘brilliance’. It is about the ‘whole you’ and, as such, is applicable in and out of work.

THE ART OF BEING BRILLIANT is grounded in the real world. The truth is simple – when the world’s doing its worst it’s even more important that we know how to be at our best. Andy specialises in positive psychology and the science of human flourishing. The reward for grinding out his Loughborough PhD is that he gets to call himself a Dr of Happiness. Will is a fine orator, and creative and winning presenter, who can turn his hand to a wide range of improvement situations…’ It acts as the cornerstone of any personal or organisational change programme. We use cutting edge research, but have surgically removed the big words and replaced them with simple, do-able principles that are applicable at work and home. We like to think of it as a personal upgrade that allows you to thrive no matter what the world throws at you.Darrell has immersed himself in the ‘brilliant’ philosophy and is now a boffin in areas of positivity, happiness, wellbeing and flourishing… well he now has an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology, which makes him sound like a boffin! Great teachers like Will Hussey understand the technical dimensions of delivering a curriculum but also know that this is only part of the story. I have admired the way he brings out the best in children.’

If you put the cheesy title to one side, the good doctor believes there has never been a more important time to focus on mental health and wellbeing. Will’s workshops, training and keynotes deliver a substantial upgrade. He believes it’s perfectly possible to harness the behaviours that could quite possibly transform your life – and those around you.

We live in a manic society where most people’s lives are on permanent fast-forward. The modern workplace is typified by a never-ending regime of restructures and budget cuts. Uncertainty prevails. Customer expectations are rising. Legislation is tightening. You are probably going to be audited or inspected one day soon. Outside of work there are family pressures. And society. And the traffic.

Our approach

People love Andy’s simplicity and humour. His keynote themes of wellbeing, leadership, resilience and change resonate with audiences around the world. The content is taken from the latest research into positive psychology, wellbeing, flourishing and emotional contagion. Our team calls it ‘the science of the bleedin’ obvious’… yet if it’s so obvious, why are so few people doing it? Fantastic such a brilliant presentation!’…’Inspiring and passionate!’…’Outstanding!’…’Inspirational and humorous!’ Change has always happened, but recently it’s got a whole lot faster and when life is rattling along at this speed, we need to be more psychologically resilient and adaptive than ever.
