Session Description

The beginning of a new calendar year often brings personal resolutions & professional strategic initiatives frequently accompanied by goal setting, and often subsequent challenges too.  Sound familiar!?  In this program, we will explore the benefit of mental fitness (as defined by POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE®, and Shirzad Chamine, author of Positive Intelligence) as a foundation to working through challenges in pursuit of a goal.  We’ll consider effects of individual development and mental fitness on team development and experience some mental fitness exercises together.

This program is aligned to the ATD Capability model as it considers Emotional Intelligence and Decision Making.

Session Takeaways/Outcomes

As attendees to this program, members will:

• Learn the definition of mental fitness and framework for POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE®
• Practice mental fitness exercises
• Consider implications of one’s own mental fitness on individual or team goals and development
