“In seminary they told us to be the least anxious presence in the room, but they never told us how to do that. This program has taught me how to do that and so much more! I am transformed with renewed confidence and creativity! Thank you!” –PQ Client
I first heard Shirzad Chamine (CEO and Founder of Positive Intelligence) speak in 2018 at a World Business and Executive Coaching conference and immediately bought his book. He has worked with Fortune 100 CEOs, the most successful leaders in their fields and yet, many of them either lacked confidence or lived in fear of making a single mistake and losing it all.
On the journey toward personal and professional growth, one of the most significant obstacles to you is not external challenges but these internal enemies, these Saboteurs, critical inner voices that undermine your confidence, creativity and resilience.
Shirzad also shared that we can weaken these Saboteurs and strengthen the other region of our brain where the Sage resides – a place where we experience love, calm, laser focused action, creativity and confidence! At the time of these conferences, I consumed this knowledge and read about it, and I was filled with INSIGHT but I didn’t take the ACTION necessary to actually rewire my brain, my neural pathways, activating that Sage part of my brain while quieting the negative voices, the Saboteurs.
To move from knowledge and insight of these Saboteurs to the place of activating the Sage part of my brain, I needed to literally strengthen my mental muscles. How does one do that? By strengthening those mental muscles, rewiring your neural pathways. Just as one does exercise repetitions to strengthen your physical muscles, there are mental exercises that allow us to be more calm-headed in the face of stress and conflict.
In 2018, it was an intellectual exercise to hear and read about Positive Intelligence, but in 2023, I actually got trained in the Positive Intelligence process which has significantly transformed my sense of wellness, my performance and productivity as well as my relationship with others, and even myself. It has become a mission of mine to bring others along on this journey to quiet these internal Saboteur voices in order to BE the beautiful sage-essence children of God that God has called us to be, living in the joy and confidence that comes from operating out of the Sage part of our brains!
