What is Mental Fitness Coaching?
Mental fitness is all about achieving emotional balance, increasing awareness, making clear decisions, and setting healthy boundaries. Mental fitness coaching utilizes the simple but powerful Positive Intelligence operating system for achieving success and greater happiness. Just like building your muscles through a physical fitness program, you can deliberately build your mental muscles to help you achieve an enhanced sense of well-being.
Is Mental Fitness Coaching for me?
Mental fitness training is for you if you are looking to improve relationships, achieve more success in your professional life by working smarter, not just harder, or you just want to experience more overall contentment and happiness in your life. Studies show that mental fitness coaching and training leads to powerful insights and sustainable results.
In this class I will introduce a method of leadership development based on brain science, called Positive Intelligence. Since the brain is a muscle, this means, like most of our muscles, it can be strengthened through exercises. After laying out and teaching the basic mental (brain) training program, I will then apply it to leadership development. Unlike many leadership development programs, this will not be an examination of best practices, but rather it will focus on four pillars of leadership: Triple Purpose, Earned Trust, Healthy Conflict, and Mutual Accountability.
