Quarterly “Refreshers”- Building Character & Relationships

Nurture and support the wellbeing of educators  through an “experiential” exploration of a variety of principles, practices and character values to strengthen mental fitness and cultivate connection.  Each workshop (4 total) is designed to be facilitated quarterly throughout the school year, to provide continuous support for teacher mental well-being, establish authentic relationships and build character values of courage, gratitude, forgiveness and compassion.  Every workshop is tailored to fit school needs as they change, therefore our dedicated CARES facilitator will check in quarterly, prior to each workshop, to determine pain points and desired outcomes through surveys and check-in’s with educators and leadership teams. 

Positive Intelligence–6 Week Coach Camp

Build positive, healthy, mental well-being habits through Positive Intelligence (PQ) Coaching. This 6 week interactive experiential training builds a foundation of mental fitness by strengthening critical mental muscles to shift the balance of power from your inner Saboteurs (your negative self) to your inner Sage (your positive self). Most attempts at positive change fail because we stop at insight and don’t build habits. Sustained change towards a more positive mind requires laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice. And that’s what our PQ® Program empowers you to do. Imagine yourself able to remain calm, clear headed, stress-free, and positive even in the midst of handling life’s greatest challenges. What would become possible for you in achievement, in peace of mind and wellness, and in your relationships? 

Outcomes:

• Perform better while working less hard—similar to athletes “in the zone”

• Feel less stressed, more peace, and consistent happiness, even in tough times

• Improve relationships, able to handle conflicts in ways that deepen trust and harmony

Includes:

• Weekly hour-long video-- delivers deep experiential exploration of the week’s focus

• 15 minutes/day of app-guided practice-- enables you to establish mental muscles (neural pathways)

• Community weekly meeting with cohort--establishes support and accountability with other program participants (meet with cohort for 6 weeks on a regular weekly on a time/date that works for all)

• Measurable Progress–provides instant feedback on exactly how much progress you’re making towards building the 3 core muscles of mental fitness.
