This is the right program for you if you are: a) committed to improving your performance and effectiveness dramatically while reducing stress, b) looking for a science-based and trusted system to make it stick, and c) willing to put in the initial effort to rewire years of mental habits that don’t serve you.

Some people believe that negative emotions are helpful. For example, they think stress gives them their performance edge, or beating themselves or others up is helpful for continual improvement.

Feeling pain for a split second when your hand touches a hot stove is indeed useful, delivering an important alert. But your Saboteurs keep your hand on the hot stove, continuing to feel negative emotions which harm both performance and happiness.

In this program we learn to use negative emotions as a helpful alert, and then quickly shift to the positive region of the brain that has the calm clarity, objectivity, and creativity to handle the challenge most effectively.

Priti Chandran, your mental fitness coach, will faciliate live experiential coaching sessions each week. This includes an orientation session to help navigate tools and resources as well as a wrap up session for life long applications keeping momentum and success fueled. 

Shirzad Chamine conducts each of the weekly video sessions. Shirzad will also participate daily in the exclusive online community of the program participants to answer questions, provide coaching, and cheer you on.

Shirzad is the New York Times bestselling author of Positive Intelligence, translated into 20 languages. He has been CEO of the largest coach training organization in the world and has trained faculty at Stanford and Yale business schools.

Shirzad lectures on Positive Intelligence at Stanford University and works with Stanford’s NCAA athletes. A preeminent C-suite advisor, Shirzad has coached hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams. His background includes graduate level studies in neuroscience in addition to a BA in psychology, an MS in electrical engineering, and an MBA from Stanford.

You’d be committing to watching a 1-hour video once per week, doing a combined total of 15 minutes per day of practice guided by the Positive Intelligence app exclusively designed for this program and engaging in a weekly live coaching experience with Priti.

You’d never learn to ride a bicycle by reading a book about it. You’ll be asked to read the first 8 chapters of the book while engaging in the program. The book provides the research foundation and introduces the tools. The video session guides you through experiential exercises that help you personalize the tools to your own personality and needs. The app coaches you to practice one tool at a time in the context of your own daily work and life challenges. And the live coaching sessions with Priti help you shatter limiting beliefs and obstacles faster and better than going alone!

Even though the focus of the program is individual development, team leaders often call this experience the best team building experience they have ever had. Going through this program together significantly deepens trust, helps clear the air related to recurrent team member conflicts since they’re mostly generated by Saboteurs, and gives the entire team a common framework for helping each other grow, making decisions, responding to setbacks, and managing conflicting styles and agendas.

As an added benefit, Priti brings her master facilitation skills with group dynamics in the way participants engage with one another with equal voice and psychological safety.
