About this course in the United States

This course, presented by coaching psychologist Dr. Katie Crabtree, offers CE credits for psychologists through an APA-approved sponsor and introduces Psychological Capital (PsyCap) as an evidence-informed framework for coaching and helping conversations. US psychologists, coaches and counselors will explore the HERO model, Hope, Efficacy, Resilience and Optimism, and how these resources influence motivation, goal pursuit and responses to challenge. Practical examples and reflective activities demonstrate how to identify chances to build each element in everyday practice. Participants leave with strategies they can apply immediately to support wellbeing, performance and sustainable change, and ways to integrate the model into their own work.

In this talk, coaching psychologist Dr. Katie Crabtree introduces Psychological Capital (PsyCap) as a practical, evidence-informed framework for supporting growth, resilience, and performance in coaching and other helping conversations. Drawing on the HERO model — Hope, Efficacy, Resilience, and Optimism — participants will explore how these four psychological resources influence the way people respond to challenge, pursue goals, and sustain motivation. 

Through practical examples and reflective activities, the talk demonstrates how coaches and other helping professionals can identify opportunities to strengthen each element of the HERO model within everyday conversations. Participants will leave with practical approaches they can immediately apply to help individuals build psychological resources that support sustainable change and wellbeing.
