INNER LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Cultivate the inner resilience to meet any challenge.

As a sustainability leader, you are under tremendous pressure due to the enormity and urgency of the problems you are working to solve.  As a result, overwhelm, difficulty prioritizing, stress, self-doubt, and feelings of isolation and hopelessness can more readily take root and undercut your effectiveness.

This mental fitness program helps leaders consciously build mental muscle to countermand these negative mental & emotional states. Based on the latest findings in neuroscience, we combine Executive Coaching, training, & peer learning to strengthen your ability to stay in positivity, centeredness, & conscious leadership.

Inner Leadership - Part I

Part I lays the foundation for your mental fitness.  Learn about your mental muscles (how your brain works), the exercises that will strengthen them, how to workout, and how to enlist peers to help you stay accountable to the goals you set.

Community

Deepen your learning and benefit from mutual accountability with peers in 7 weekly, confidential, group practice sessions facilitated by your Executive Coach.  Use the Positive Intelligence© app to encourage your peers in between sessions.

"Since completing the Positive Intelligence training, I’ve been amazed by how much more positive my outlook has been and how much happier I have felt. I have been significantly calmer and more able to see the upside of difficult situations. Now I regularly catch my ‘saboteurs’ attempting to take me over and am able to redirect my energy quickly to a more positive, constructive approach, and I don't hold onto feelings of guilt, shame, anger or frustration for very long."

Inner Leadership - Part II

Now that you have a grasp of your negative inner voices, or Saboteurs, learn how to stop them from hijacking your awareness by applying your positive strengths, or "Sage Powers." Part II builds your understanding of the five Sage Powers and when and how to apply them to improve your performance, relationships and well-being. This program works in tandem with the Positive Intelligence© Grow phone-based app.

The Five Sage Powers

EMPATHIZE

Learn how to genuinely listen and give empathy to others and to yourself.  Open yourself to deeper connection.

EXPLORE

Become sincerely curious about your own & others' feelings, needs, strengths, and motives to help you find win-win solutions.

INNOVATE

Learn to find what is right with other people's ideas.  Move away from criticism and judgment to enjoy the art of co-creating.

NAVIGATE

Develop the awareness to bring your values to the forefront as you face challenges and make tough decisions.

ACTIVATE

Cultivate the courage and focus to take your ideas, values, and convictions and put them into positive action. 

How It Works
