Casper Farrimond:
A practitioner who is fascinated by dispositional optimism, positive psychology, and personal growth. Over the past 7 years of working in elite sport, occupational health and the NHS, I have recognised that life navigation and performance excellence requires certain ingredients. Life navigation requires being open-minded, solution-focused, and embracing the present moment. The ability to hook onto thoughts that build you up instead of knocking you down is crucial and the 3 P's that nudge you towards fulfilment are passion, patience, and persistence.
