The challenge in positive psychology: facing the dark side of innovative &
creative work.

Nowadays we are in a revolutionary moment: yet like never before, psychology is being legitimized
and integrated into society: mental health is just as important as physical health.The increasing
public awareness of the benefits psychology brings to the setting where adults spend a majority of
their waking hours: the workplace. Mental health is an integral part of how we feel about our jobs,
how well we perform and how well we interact with colleagues, customers and clients. Communica-
tion is the key when it comes to mental health.

Work is now more cognitively complex, more team-based and collaborative, more dependent on
technological competence, more time pressured, more mobile and less dependent on geography. In
today's world, loneliness is a growing health epidemic. In this new context, Coworking emergences
as a new model of work organization. The Coworking revolution challenges classic organizational
approaches and raises human, social, managerial and organizational issues that are particularly
salient to management sciences, as well as to society as a whole.

Positive Psychology becomes decisive to create positive environments that foster connectivity, com-
munity and work-life balance, growing our business & life.

It is almost universally acknowledged that creativity & innovation are desirable outcomes to individ-
ual, groups and any type of organizations, but there is a dark side in all of these with many para-
doxes. When individuals are involved in innovative projects, it can be a lonely road, how can we
manage with people's anxieties and resistance that keep people from embracing change? Is it a bar-
rier for all of us? Can’t we all just get it along? If we want to enhance the impact in the subjective
wellbeing into society there is a need for reframing our ecosystem of activity: now is the time for
psychology in the workplace.

around and her career took an unexpected twist: She opened with her colle-
gue Cowork Ibiza, The first Coworking Space on the island. In 2015 they were

ciation. Since then, Sandra works as an outside collaborator in organizations,
she helps people building positive & resilience organizations. In parallel, San-
dra develops an online project on coaching as an applied positive psychology
at work and life, she manages an online community of more than 30000 peo-
ple. Sandra is increasingly conviced that it is people, not technology, who are
the true creators of value.
