We're a team of positive deviants, who love creating dynamic learning experiences.
Although we're a small group, our aim is to have a huge impact on how people think and communicate. We believe positive psychology is a force for tremendous change. That's why we embed it into everything we do. Here's who you're working with when you learn with Eleanor Shakiba.
