Keynotes

  • Habits for happiness
    Dr Tim Sharp aka Dr Happy has completed 3 degrees in psychology following which he has worked as a therapist, academic and researcher for more than a decade. It’s safe to say there’s not much he doesn’t know about human behaviour, especially happiness, and how to help others. However for all of his adult life, Dr Tim Sharp has also endured his own lived experience of ill mental health. In this presentation Tim shares his story, from a personal and professional perspective, and all he’s learned about happiness, mental health, resilience, thriving and flourishing, whilst highlighting the strategies workplaces can use to support their teams.
  • Faults, failings and f#%kups – A perfect recipe for success and happiness
    Have you ever made a mistake? Have you ever failed at something? More to the point, who hasn’t? We all have, including many famous and successful people, so why then do we resist this reality so determinedly? What if we could not just accept but really embrace our faults, failings and f#%kups to enjoy more happiness and success in life. Perhaps we’ll never be really happy until we do.
  • Lost & found
    After several decades of researching, writing, and talking about happiness, and how to live a great life, Dr Tim Sharp has finally admitted that he really might have been lost all these years. But that’s OK, because some of the best moments of his life have come from aimlessly wandering nature trails and allowing his mind to wander through all the deep, and sometimes dark and disturbing, nooks and crannies of his varied emotional experiences. In this, Tim’s most personal keynote yet, Tim presents both the scientific findings and his own lived-experiences, illustrating how and why we can live a better life not necessarily by trying to “find ourselves” or by searching for clarity but rather, by accepting that it’s OK to be lost and imperfect, and in fact sometimes the best times and the best lessons come from embracing the messiness of our internal and external worlds and using it all for growth.
