What people say about Dr

Tim is an outstanding public speaker that gave a great opening keynote to the Psychological Health & Wellbeing in the Workplace Congress. He delivered an inspiring presentation that demystified positive psychology and firmly positioned it within the corporate world.

One of the comments I had from many of the attendees was that though Tim is a very academic person, his presentation was very practical and did not leave people behind, he is full of great knowledge and makes everything very easily understood. He had a different audience at the festival and the workshop but each lot of feedback was the same – “What an incredibly nice man and he is so down to earth and understandable”

Tim was an entertaining and informative presenter – he was loved by the teachers in our audience.

I have to admit I was sceptical when I first heard about Tim. However I was happily mistaken. Tim has carved out an important niche for himself in the business landscape. The work that he does is consistently interesting and valuable. He is not afraid to shift the “soft” subject of happiness right into the centre of business agendas. No wonder Kevin Rudd is interested in what he’s up to.

Prof. Sharp teaches powerful strategies that were incredibly relevant to me and the organization within which I work. Just as importantly, Tim’s teaching style combines academic rigor with lots of fun, and he did a tremendous job of facilitating a diverse group with different and challenging agendas.

Dr Happy was such an inspiration that we have invited him back to talk to [more of] our employees and we have recommended him to others in AMP.

Dr. Sharp’s [work with us] went extremely well with just the right mix of knowledge, humour & irreverence! I also want to mention that working with Tim has been a treat. Having worked with lots of people I particularly look for those (a) who take the time to listen, “get” us and are able to adjust content accordingly, (b) whose work has integrity and (c) who’re easy to work with; Dr. Sharp satisfied all of those and I was impressed with the amount of time he was happy to spend with us to get there. I hope to be able to work with him again in the future.
