How to Work Together
Iām Dr. Louise Lambert and Iām the leading expert in positive psychology in the Middle East/North Africa region.
Iāve published over 40 studies ranging from the predictors of happiness in the UAE using Gallup data, the relationships between happiness, health and healthcare satisfaction, the links between learning and happiness across the UAEās curriculum types, to the fear of happiness and the impact of interventions on culture as examples. Iāve published the only regional positive psychology textbook, establishing two university courses from it. I am also the Editor of the Middle East Journal of Positive Psychology.
I am a Canadian registered psychologist and previously worked in mental health for several years dealing with domestic violence, eating disorders, and depression among other things, and developed the first patient oriented happiness course in primary healthcare, which remains in use.
Now, I also work as a workplace consultant, where Iāve been developing programs for senior leaders, managers and employees in the private sector and government ministries across the GCC region. All this to say, youāre in good hands.

"I have collaborated with Louise on many projects over the last 5 years and she always amazes me. She lives positive psychology in its true sense ā pursuing excellence with passion, and with a desire to strive for wellbeing in the UAE, and more broadly in MENA. Louise is a leader who is unafraid to dive into unchartered waters. She has pioneered many āfirstsā ā the first positive psychology journal in the Middle East, scholarly regional book on positive psychology, manual for positive psychology instructors, positive education program in the UAE and Kuwait, positive psychology division, etc. She is easy to work with, open to new ideas, and has immense determination to see projects through to the end ā qualities that are fundamental to leading innovation. I look forward to seeing how her practical work unfolds and the positive impact she will make in the near future"

"Louise has been instrumental in getting our Positive Education program off the ground by helping us create a school wide curriculum. She is also leading the research that is taking place to measure wellbeing among our students to ensure that the program is effective. I really cannot speak highly enough of her and the impact sheās had at our school. She has led staff training and the response from staff was overwhelmingly positive. It was the perfect start to our school year and gave us the momentum and drive we were looking for. She is extremely professional and organised but above all else is very personable and diligent. Her subject knowledge is outstanding and always presents the very latest research. We feel incredibly privileged to work with her and it is a relationship we hope will run long into the future."
