This MasterClass aligns with the Institute of Coaching's theme: the conference that never ends. Here, we feature Barbara Frederickson’s research on positivity, or positive emotions, as well as her research on the psychology and biology of “love,” what Barbara describes as the supreme emotion, explored in her latest book Love 2.0. Videos of her two presentations at the 2013 Coaching in Leadership and Healthcare Conference are shared along with a review of Love 2.0. This MasterClass is designed for any coach wishing to increase their understanding and application of positivity research, whether to provide additional tools for use with clients or to enhance one’s personal positive emotions to flourish in work and play.
