What members Say

This was one of the best conferences I've every attended. Being the very first CPPA conference I was really impressed - by the quality of presenters and content and the overall organization. You hit this out of the park. I will strongly recommend that my colleagues in the coaching field attend this next year. Thanks for a great experience.

As a relative newcomer to positive psychology I found the sessions to be a perfect combination of introductory materials and challenging new research. All of the speakers were generous sharing their areas of expertise and made all the learning very accessible.

The CPPA was a wonderful opportunity to witness some of the brightest minds in the area of positive psychology in Canada. The sessions were informative, inspiring and challenged us to think outside the box. How could this be anything other than a positive experience!
