Whether you are a professional at the Health & Innovation District, scaling a venture or working as an academic, the coming months will demand more than just technical expertise. Clarity may blur under pressure. Focus may drift. Resilience may be put to the test.

But what if you could install a “mental operating system” that enables you to stay steady through setbacks and remain creative during high-stakes breakthroughs?

Based on the work of Stanford’s Shirzad Chamine, Positive Intelligence (PQ) is a synthesized framework that tackles the root causes of self-sabotage. It provides practical tools to intercept negative emotions at their onset, shifting your brain from stress-response to high-performance.

In this webinar, we will unpack the core principles of the PQ Operating System. You will learn to identify and quiet the automatic thought patterns (your "Saboteurs") that undermine confidence, while activating the "Sage" mindset that drives creativity and decisive action. At the end of these 60 minutes, you will have the insight needed to appreciate how mental fitness enables professionals to navigate uncertainty with calm, lead teams more effectively, and sustain peak performance over the long term.
