Are their any professionals on FitnessConnect who specialize in the field of “Strengths Psychology”?

Great question, Angela! Yes, I am positive psychology leader with a master of applied positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, and have presented on character strengths and virtues internationally.

In my doctoral work at Temple University, I am teaching Kinesiology (cross training group dance/fitness Lecture/Lab), and applying the psychology of character strengths and virtues. I tie in the Values of Action Inventory of Strengths from Authentic Happiness, and the students love it. It’s a wonderful adjunct to group fitness training.

I presented on Character Strengths and Virtues during my presentations at Inner IDEA recently. Please let me know how I can help further?

Very best, Elaine O’Brien, MAPP,
