Faults, Failure & F#%kups - A Perfect Recipe for Success & Happiness
Have you ever made a mistake? Have you ever failed at something? More to the point, who hasn't? We all have, including many famous and successful people, so why then do we resist this reality so determinedly? What if we could not just accept but really embrace our faults, failings and f#%kups to enjoy more happiness and success in life. Perhaps we'll never be really happy until we do.

Lost & Found
After several decades of researching, writing, and talking about happiness, and how to live a great life, Dr Tim Sharp has finally admitted that he really might have been lost all these years. Lost & Found
But that’s OK, because some of the best moments of his life have come from aimlessly wandering nature trails and allowing his mind to wander through all the deep, and sometimes dark and disturbing, nooks and crannies of his varied emotional experiences.
In this, Tim’s most personal keynote yet, Tim presents both the scientific findings and his own lived-experiences, illustrating how and why we can live a better life not necessarily by trying to “find ourselves” or by searching for clarity but rather, by accepting that it’s OK to be lost and imperfect, and in fact sometimes the best times and the best lessons come from embracing the messiness of our internal and external worlds and using it all for growth.

Tim managed the role very well. Given he was not familiar with the PSP initially, his understanding and appreciation of his audience developed significantly over the two days.
DMC Outsourcing were delighted with the presentations and work sessions presented by Dr. Tim Sharp of The Happiness Institute. The sessions were informative, engaging and delivered everyone personal insights into how they can manage themselves to create a sense of well being and achievement. From an organisational perspective, we have developed expertise based on personal strengths, and have adopted strategies from The Happiness Institute's CHOOSE model to play to personal and organisational strengths, work on internal and external relationships, improve clarity, be optimistic and enjoy the moment. The sessions provided a great foundation for improving how we operate as a business, and I really appreciate the enthusiasm Tim has engendered in DMC.
