Positive Intelligence represents a breakthrough in your ability to raise Emotional Intelligence (EQ) across your organization. The main challenges until now have been the existence of too many EQ competencies (18) and that initial improvements quickly fade over time. Positive Intelligence dramatically simplifies this challenge due to factor analysis research that identified the root-level building blocks of EQ. The results of this research have been validated by over 500,000 participants in 50 countries.
Increasing your mental and emotional fitness leads to less stress and more satisfaction. “Mental Fitness” is defined as your ability to understand that you are not your thoughts and that you can achieve a consistent and positive frame of mind. Strengthening your Positive Intelligence (PQ) will allow you to become the authentic leader you came to be.
Be who YOU came to be. Authentic leadership is the key to driving results, making a measurable impact and creating camaraderie. Authentic leaders are self-actualized individuals who are aware of their strengths, their limitations, and their emotions. They also display their real selves to their followers. Communities rally around authentic leaders who are confident in their vision and purpose. But how do leaders empower their teams to grow, change and evolve within an organization?
Enter Positive Intelligence, the mastery skill of honoring, celebrating, and elevating who you came to be.
Finding balance between career, family and community continues to be a struggle for the workforce.
This keynote can be expanded into a 120 minute deep-dive workshop including everything from the keynote in more depth and the following:
A custom workbook that will be used during the workshop (attendees will use this during the workshop and leave with it. For virtual attendees a printable PDF will be available.)
Three all-team breakout sessions that include time for personal discovery, creating actionable take-aways to implement, team building and group sharing.
One individual break-out session to create a personal PQ roadmap to get and stay mentally fit.
