Positive Intelligence is an innovative approach to dealing with these challenges and creating a happier, more fulfilling life.The Positive Intelligence workshop is designed to help individuals develop the mental and emotional tools they need to thrive in their personal and professional lives.
Over the course of three weeks, participants will attend three sessions, each consisting of a workshop day and two follow-up sessions.During the workshop day, participants will learn about the three core muscles of Positive Intelligence: the Saboteur Muscle, the Sage Muscle, and the Self-Command Muscle. The Saboteur Muscle is the voice in your head that tells you negative, self-defeating thoughts.
The Sage Muscle is the voice that helps you stay positive, focused, and resilient. The Self-Command Muscle is the ability to direct your attention and choose your responses, rather than reacting on autopilot.Throughout the workshop day, participants will engage in a series of interactive exercises and group discussions to help them identify their Saboteur and Sage voices, develop their Self-Command Muscle, and learn strategies for cultivating positive emotions and attitudes.In the two follow-up sessions, participants will have the opportunity to review and reinforce what they learned during the workshop day, share their progress and challenges, and receive additional support and guidance from the facilitator and their peers.
