                "Unlocking Potential: Applying Positive Intelligence to Elevate Learning & Development"



                Topic Overview: 

                In today’s high-pressure, fast-paced workplaces, Learning and Development professionals are tasked not only with building skills but also with fostering resilient, high-performing cultures. In this energizing keynote, inspired by Shirzad Chamine’s Positive Intelligence, we’ll explore the groundbreaking science behind mental fitness and how it directly impacts learning, leadership, and team dynamics.

                Attendees will gain insight into the “Saboteurs” that hinder growth and performance, and learn to strengthen their “Sage” mindset—the source of creativity, empathy, and insight. With real-world applications tailored for L&D leaders and facilitators, this session delivers a powerful framework for driving sustained behavior change, psychological safety, and learner engagement.

                Whether you're designing curriculum, coaching leaders, or scaling culture change, Positive Intelligence provides a toolkit to elevate every learning moment.

                Learning Objectives:

                By the end of this keynote, participants will be able to:

                1. Understand the core principles of Positive Intelligence and how mental fitness impacts learning and behavior change.
                2. Identify their own top internal Saboteurs and understand their effects on performance, collaboration, and communication.
                3. Apply the Sage perspective to increase empathy, creativity, and resilience in both learners and leaders.
                4. Integrate Positive Intelligence practices into training design, facilitation, and coaching for deeper, lasting impact.
                5. Promote mental fitness as a foundational element of leadership development, team dynamics, and organizational learning culture.
