Do you have a strong inner critic? Are your thoughts more often negative than positive? Do you find your mood tends to follow your thoughts down a negative-spiralling rabbit hole? Then you might like to hear about Positive Intelligence…
Positive Intelligence is a coaching framework created by author and Business Coach Shirzad Chamine. It sits around the main theory that, alongside IQ and EQ, we all have a PQ. This Positive Quotient is the relative strength of our mind’s positive and negative impact on our thoughts, emotions and behaviours. In other words, our PQ score will be high if our mind spends a high percentage of time speaking wisely and kindly, as a friend would, rather than “sabotaging” you through negative or unhelpful thoughts.
In the Positive Intelligence framework, the friend part of our mind is given the name Sage, while the opposite part is made up of our Saboteurs, who are characterised as the Judge, Avoider, Controller, Hyper-Achiever, Hyper-Rational, Hyper-Vigilant, Pleaser, Restless, Stickler and Victim.
There’s a free online assessment for anyone keen to find out more and to see what Saboteurs are most at play in their own mind. This can be found here:
If you’d like to learn how to take control of your Saboteurs - with a view to having a more positive mindset that supports greater clarity, confidence and contentment in your life - then the Positive Intelligence Course might well be for you.
You can bundle the Positive Intelligence Course into an 8-session series of coaching with me, where we will work specifically on your challenges and Saboteurs. Alternatively, you can join me and up to 4 others on a Group Coaching Positive Intelligence Course, where we will meet for 7 online hour-long sessions to share learnings and motivation. In both one-to-one and group options, the course will involve:
Access to the Positive Intelligence App with 1 x daily inspiration and 3 x short exercises each day to help you strengthen your mental muscles for a more positive mindset
6 x weekly hour-long videos on the App introducing a new area of focus
