In the time available it is likely we will feel we have just got started, that there are still contradictions and controversies and so much more to know ... and that will be true. It also sets us up to come back and explore more! A Brief Introduction to Psychology, Exploring Contemporary Topics
About the Tutor:
I studied and tutored Psychology at the University of Queensland before my professional career took me into behavioural and market research, business strategy, change management, negotiation (conflict) and more with a range of Government and private businesses. Throughout I enjoyed training people in communications, negotiation, change management, leadership, stress management, team development, business culture and more. My strength is as a generalist, both in terms of diagnosing situations and developing customised responses. Side projects included sports psychology, climbing, mountaineering and cycling. Underscoring everything has been the theory, application and sharing of psychology. Educating people in psychology for applied settings has been one of the joys of my career.If you are a U3A Brisbane member you may enrol in this class online using the Enrol button below.
