About Us

Who We Are

We feel that while traditional education pathways offer numerous benefits, they mostly prepare individuals for a transactional approach in life; the primary focus in college and university is on teaching students skills oriented towards entering and succeeding in the job market. While this is important, key skills in life relating to motivating oneself towards life goals, managing social relationships , managing stress, persuading others and flourishing in life are mostly missing from even some of the best institutions. Our purpose in establishing the Elation Institute is to address this gap and teach these vital skills to people through a comprehensive suite of onsite and online courses.

What We Do

We empower individuals with evidence-based strategies in positive psychology, relationship psychology, motivation psychology, persuasion psychology, and self-care psychology. Through positive psychology, participants learn the science and art of the flourishing life, relationship psychology involves strategies that help people thrive in the social world, motivation psychology focuses on teaching individuals the science of goal attainment, success and resilience. Persuasion psychology involves training participants in the science of influence and persuasion skills and self-care psychology provides participants with powerful tools aimed in self compassion, mindfulness and stress management.

How We Do It

We offer onsite workshops, online certificate courses and custom oriented corporate training courses in positive psychology, motivation psychology, self-care psychology, relationship psychology and persuasion psychology. Our workshops and online courses are interactive with videos, exercises, role plays and other interesting activities. Our training courses provide participants with a memorable learning experience that includes applying theoretical knowledge in real world settings. To this end, participants practice newly learnt skills in a simulated environment and then apply these skills in home, office and community settings. The courses also encourage social interaction, mentorship, networking and collaboration opportunities.

The ELATE Wellbeing Programme

The ELATE wellbeing model is predicated on research that has shown that the ELATE core domains are strongly associated with better health, positive social relationships, higher self esteem, enhanced self confidence, greater compassion, empathy and wellbeing in life. We believe that through learning and regularly practicing key skills from the ELATE program, people can significantly enhance their positive emotion, social relationships, accomplishments and wellbeing in life enabling them to live truly flourishing lives.
