How we work with people just like you ...

Where traditional methods often strive to bring you from a state of suffering (-10) to simply getting by (0), we at BU believe in the potential for something far greater. We're here to guide your journey from simply getting by (0) to fulfilling your potential and reaching your definition of happiness (+10).

Coaches

We aren't interested in over-focusing on what's "wrong". Nor do we believe that you need to be "fixed". Our mission is to uncover the strengths that already live within you and help them flourish. We want to celebrate what's already right about you and help it grow.

Our team at BU is composed of professional coaches whose passion and expertise is in teaching you to master your mind and emotions. But above all, we aim to empower you to seize control of your own happiness. With BU, you're not just surviving - you're thriving. Rediscover your best self, and let us guide you on your journey to a happier, healthier life.

Skills you gain from Coaching

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence involves understanding and managing your own emotions, as well as recognizing 30 or more distinct emotions as they arise.

Positive Self Talk

Positive Self-Talk involves consciously shaping your inner dialogue to encourage positive thinking and attitudes, enhancing your outlook and performance in different aspects of life.

Self Confidence

Self confidence is the belief in one's abilities, strengths, and value; it's the ability to trust oneself and have conviction in one's powers, leading to resilience, determination, and perseverance.

Direction, Purpose and Goals

Direction, Purpose, and Goals are skills that guide your life trajectory; they involve identifying your true north (direction), understanding why it matters to you (purpose), and setting clear, achievable milestones (goals) that align with your aspirations.

Accountability

Accountability is the readiness to take responsibility for your actions, decisions, and commitments. It's a measure of integrity and reliability, showcasing your willingness to accept consequences and learn from your experiences, fostering trust and respect in personal and professional relationships.

"Annelise was a name that I had, now she's a woman I know."

Annelise McCarthy's journey at BU Happiness College went from uncertainty to profound self-discovery.

Initially sceptical about happiness coaching, under Declan's guidance she transformed from a person who disrespected her own boundaries and struggled with imposter syndrome to one who embraces every facet of her being with compassion and self-assurance.

Annelise's story is a testament to the immeasurable value of investing in one's happiness and personal growth. Because, in her words, "if your own happiness isn't worth investing in, what is?"

"I was heading to a dark place and I didn't want to get there."

 Watch the video to hear Emily share her happiness journey.

Meet Emily, a sophomore at BU Happiness College, whose journey with us started from a challenging place of burnout and the looming shadows of self-doubt.

Through her time at BU, she has transformed her narrative. She cultivated a strong self-esteem, tamed her negative inner voice, and harnessed the power of self-discipline.

But Emily's journey wasn't just a personal transformation; it echoed into her professional life, reshaping the way she led a team of 130 and influenced the mental health narratives of both young and old in her family.

From a fixed mindset, she has evolved into a voracious learner, constantly seeking to grow. Her heartfelt advice to everyone? Dive in, take that leap, especially if it scares you, because that's where growth truly lies.
