Sam Spurlin

I am a Positive Organizational Psychology PhD student who is passionate about using positive psychology to improve the lives of real people. I have an independent coaching and consulting practice that aims to help individuals and organizations use evidence-based strategies and techniques to improve happiness, well-being, engagement, organizational effectiveness, and a myriad of other positive outcomes. In addition to my research on independent workers I co-organize TEDxClaremont Colleges. TEDxClaremontColleges is an organization that hosts a series of conferences every year aimed at sharing ideas and building a community of change-oriented individuals. TEDxClaremontColleges 2013 featured 16 speakers and 450 attendees.
