About: When the pandemic hit, most of us were frozen in our tracks - having no idea what to do. This isn't surprising, and according to a recent Kaiser report, 7 in 10 employees report the pandemic is the most stressful time of their entire professional career. So what can we do differently and be better prepared for the next crisis that drops in our laps - because although new may not want to acknowledge it, this won't be our last!
There is promising new research on how our brain works that gives us hope. Knowing this "X factor" - called "mental fitness" - can give us the powerful insight, knowledge, and practical tools that can best prepare us for whatever comes next! Mental fitness is a measure of the strength of your positive mental muscles (Sage) versus the negative (Saboteur). This measure of your Mental Fitness is called PQ (Positive Intelligence Quotient). A key to Mental Fitness is to weaken the internal Saboteurs who generate all your “negativity” in the way they respond to challenges. Your Saboteurs cause all your stress, anxiety, self-doubt, frustration, regret, guilt, and unhappiness. Your “Sage” lives in an entirely different region of your brain and handles challenges in ways that produce positive emotions like curiosity, empathy, creativity, calm, and clear-headed laser-focused action.
The research - with 500,000 participants - has shown PQ to be the best predictor of how happy you are and how well you perform relative to your potential. It is the basis of Shirzad Chamine’s New York Times bestselling book, Positive Intelligence. Join us for this powerful session on increasing your "x factor" - preparing your professionally and personally for the next crisis that comes into your life - AND optimizing your work, happiness, and relationships NOW.
