Work with Deborah to Conquer Your Saboteurs

Do you wish you had better communication, patience, or empathy with the most important people in your life? Are your inner “gremlins” hijacking you from accomplishing your goals and visions?

When your physical health isn’t where you want it to be, you look for ways to strengthen and improve it, right? So how about giving your BRAIN the same loving attention!

Mental fitness is basically your capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset. Based on Shirzad Chamine’s best-selling book, Positive Intelligence and his Stamford lectures, embarking on a focused program of mental fitness can help you to muzzle those gremlins or saboteurs that prevent you from accessing the creative, resilient sage part of your brain.

In essence, you’re building the mental muscle that allows you to stop those negative Saboteurs in their tracks and switch over to the Sage brain where your inner wisdom lies. And the primary way to do that, to escape the hamster wheel in your mind, is to focus on one of your 5 senses for just a few minutes – get out of your head and into your body.

Here’s a quick but powerful overview by Shirzad that introduces you to the Saboteurs and to the 5 Sage powers.

How I got hooked on developing my PQ and why I want to share it with you…

I’ve run into LOTS of self-discovery/personal development tools over the years and offer several of them through Spirited Living (like the Conscious Dating and “Now What” programs), but it’s been awhile since one really grabbed me.

Two of my oldest coaching buddies (we were in training at Coach U together 25 years ago) introduced me to the principles of Positive Intelligence in early 2021 and it immediately resonated with me for several reasons.

First, I’m a sucker for learning new, interesting coaching techniques that are packaged in an organized, systematic, and FUN way. The idea of going through the program with two dear friends was beyond tempting.

Second, I love that this PQ work is based on a ton of research, with over 500,000 participants, world class athletes, and leaders from every Fortune 100 company. It’s a synthesis of the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience, cognitive behavioral psychology, positive psychology, and performance science. My inner science nerd thinks that’s so cool!

Third, (and this one is based on their research) the Positive Intelligence program has actually been shown to improve well-being, strengthen relationships and enhance performance. Can’t beat that triple whammy.

And probably most compelling for me, is that it reflects a deeply held personal belief that the only way we can heal our psycho-emotional wounds or shift our self-limiting beliefs and negative mind-talk is to also anchor it in our bodies. When it’s been necessary over the years to refer a coaching client to a therapist, I always prefer to send them to a body-centered therapist… somatic, gestalt, EMDR are all examples.

So, how does it work?

In order to achieve mental fitness through the principles of Positive Intelligence, you’ll embark on a 7-week program which includes:

• Seven 1-hour Video Sessions taught by Shirzad Chamine himself, broken down into smaller increments that can be watched separately
• Access to the exclusive PQ “Gym” App to exercise and build your mental fitness muscles
• 6 weeks of daily (Tue-Fri) Focus of The Day, Coach Challenges and Reflections in the PQ App to deepen your learning and build your mental fitness
• Audio and PDF of 8 Chapters of Shirzad’s NY Time’s bestselling book, Positive Intelligence
• Check-in session each week with Deborah, either individually, or in a “PQ Pod” group to provide accountability, ask questions and share knowledge to further ensure your success
• Free access to the PQ App for one year after the 7-week program ends.
