Swimming for Sophie: A Story of Strengths, Resilience and Success:

Alex Linley's webinar in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital

Alex Linley, Founding Director of Capp | Available now

Alex Linley is an internationally recognised thought leader in positive psychology and its applications. The author of over 130 articles and chapters, and six books, including Positive Psychology in Practice (Wiley, 2004) and The Strengths Book (Capp Press, 2010), he has delivered positive psychology, strengths, coaching and organisational keynotes and masterclasses around the world.

Benefit from Alex's Unique Insights

On 29 January 2011, Alex Linley completed a 200m extreme swim across Britain's coldest lake, Llyn Llydaw on Snowdon. With a water temperature of just 0-1C, and wearing just Speedos, a swimming cap and goggles, this was a remarkable achievement of mind over matter - as you can see by watching the ice-bath training, a test swim and the full swim on YouTube.

In this webinar, Alex will share his unique insights of what he learned, the secret tips and techniques that helped him to plan the adventure, keep going through 'the dip', and emerge successfully on the other side.

Combining Alex's intense personal experiences and his extensive professional knowledge, this webinar will help you to:

• Enhance your strengths and learn how they can help you achieve your goals
• Build your resilience to overcome the challenges you face along the way
