Mental Fitness:  How to Boost Team Performance Using Positive Intelligence

Facilitated by Jenna Smith, ThinkFree Consulting

Your team member's thinking can be their (and your organization's) best asset or worst enemy.  With stress, burnout and change fatigue running rampant in organizations, it's imperative for everyone to know how to boost resilience, manage stress, and recognize what is sabotaging their work, their interactions with team members and performance overall…their thinking.  Neuroscience-backed research has shown that the mental fitness of individuals in organizations has the ability to either boost performance, creativity and innovation in a team, or sabotage its success.   So how do you boost a team's success?  You boost mental fitness.  Using Positive Intelligence principles by Shirzad Chamine, we will explore: 

• Recognize and discuss the individual saboteurs that sabotage success 

• Discuss how saboteurs show up at work and influence performance, decision making and collaboration

• How teams can use simple mental fitness practices to combat saboteurs, and boost happiness and performance at work as well as innovation and resilience
