Positive Intelligence for Writers
When: Wednesday, October 30th, 9.30 am to 4.30 pm
Where: Location TBC
Workshop Summary:
We all have self-sabotaging behaviours that hold us back and prevent us from reaching our potential as writers. Based on Shirzad Chamine’s PQ (Positive Intelligence) model, this informative, interactive and practical workshop will teach you the foundations of Positive Intelligence and how to harness your ‘Sage Powers’ to combat ‘Saboteurs’ that get in your way. And let’s face it, enough other stuff is getting in our way!
Workshop Outline:
- Introduction to Positive Intelligence & the three strategies to improve it
- Self-Assessment of the Ten Saboteurs and their impact on our writing life
- The Sage Perspective and Five Sage Powers
- Incorporating what we’ve learned into our writing practice
Slides are made available after the workshop
Workshop Outcomes:
Participants will come away from this workshop with a foundational understanding of the foundations of Positive Intelligence and how to employ it practically in their writing life.
