Gain skills to improve your personal, family and business relationships! Research in the field of positive psychology has shown us how to be at peace, enjoy life, and have an exceptional life. Among other things, it helps us to effectively resolve problems and to reduce grudges. Happiness, trust, and resilience can grow. This work has shown exceptional results when applied to the world of work and to our personal relationships. It fits exceptionally well with the teachings of Jesus. Research is showing us how His teachings can improve business results as well as significantly improve our lives and those of the ones we love. This engaging retreat involves interactive learning and will significantly help participants to live an exceptional life!
