We’ll begin your training with an introduction to “Positive Intelligence” by Shirzad Chamine.
As a best-selling author and Stanford professor, he’s conducted multiple studies on emotional intelligence and created a course based on decades of research. Because we are licensed and approved to teach his methods, as part of our membership program you’ll receive his six week course for free. He usually charges $995 for the same exact program on his website.
Shirzad Chamine presents the idea that our minds can be our best friend or worst enemy.
“Positive Intelligence” introduces the concept of Positive Intelligence Quotient (PQ), a measure of the mind’s positivity versus negativity. Chamine argues that by increasing our PQ, we can achieve our true potential and enjoy a more fulfilling life.
Chamine’s 6-week course aims to help participants identify their own saboteurs, understand how they operate, and cultivate the sage powers needed to overcome them. The course involves practices like mindfulness, identifying emotional triggers, separating facts from stories, and conscious decision making. By completing the course, participants should gain greater emotional intelligence, make wiser choices, and achieve their goals with less inner resistance.

The Judge
Constantly finds fault in ourselves, others, and circumstances. Everyone has an inner judge or saboteur that critiques our thoughts, feelings, and actions. This judge evolved to keep us safe but can become overactive and harmful. “Judge-Free Thinking” is used to help silence or at least minimize this negative inner voice.
