Positive Provocation

“What rules need to be followed, and which ones is it time to break? Robert Biswas-Diener brings exactly the right type of provocation to how we practice coaching.”

Michael Bungay Stanier
Best-selling author of The Coaching Habit

Why Robert

Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener is known as the “Indiana Jones of Positive Psychology” because he has researched happiness and other positive topics with groups such as the Amish, the Inuit, and the Maasai. As a result, he brings a unique perspective to his presentation: part anthropology, part psychology. Robert loves to create fresh presentations that meet the specific needs and match the culture of his clients. The most frequent piece of feedback he receives is, “We got two presentations for the price of one. The first was the main content, and the second was a masterclass on how to present.”

Speaking

Robert is a highly sought-after speaker on positive topics such as courage and happiness. He focused on
storytelling at university and brings his narrative acumen to every keynote. He is well-known for his humor, improvisation, and out-of-the-box thinking. His philosophy of public speaking emphasizes the relationship with the audience. As a result, PowerPoint is optional, and self-promotion is taboo.

Training

Dr. Biswas-Diener has a passion for effective pedagogy. As a result, he cares as much about how participants build knowledge and skill as he does about his content. He delights in creating immersive activities, conducting skills demonstrations, and creating memorable learning experiences. He is especially passionate about the following topics: happiness, money and happiness, resilience, courage, culture, friendship, empathy, strengths, the profession of coaching, and hospitality.

Curriculum Development

Robert has a long history of designing curricula. This includes creating entire conferences, distance-
learning courses, university courses, certificate programs, and continuing education programs. Robert understands best practices in distance learning and leading-edge instructional design. Robert is especially expert in creating case studies for educational use.
