MAFN CoP - Up Your Facilitation Game Through Positive Intelligence (Members Only)

Positive Intelligence uses what we know about neuroscience and gives us a way to use it every day in our facilitation practice. The strategies of Positive Intelligence help quiet those pesky inner voices that keep us from being our best and enables us to help others be their best. The session will discuss the strategies (you will practice at least 1), and you will leave with a different mindset to up your facilitation game.

To make the most of this session, please take the Positive Intelligence Assessment linked here (it is free) AND watch this 20 minute Ted Talk of Dr. Shirzad Chamine discussing the basics of Positive Intelligence. Dr. Shirzad Chamine created the Positive Intelligence framework based on his research and practice while at Stanford University.
