"Positive Intelligence/Mental Fitness"
Overview: What is the value of dealing more effectively with stress, frustration or anxiety? What would you give for a culture that has less blame, shame or guilt? Do you want a more positive, happier life? This sounds almost too good to be true, but research and brain science actually shows this is possible, but it takes work… mental work…. Mental Fitness.
“Positive Intelligence is your capacity to respond to life’s challenges with positive rather than negative mindset”. Imagine yourself able to remain calm, clear headed, stress-free, and positive even in the midst of Stress, frustration or guilt.
Most attempts at positive change fail because we stop at insight and don’t build habits. Sustained change towards a more positive mind requires laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice.
Nancy Gunter has led groups all over the United States in this educational and entertaining look at the brain. She also leads Positive Intelligence Pods for companies as well as Open Pods for individuals. Participants will leave the session with more insight into what causes their current reactions and how to change that.
Why is this program critical now more than ever?
